TÉlÉtel 1

Synopsis
Massive investment by the French government in Télétel, the French videotext system, means that there will soon be one in every office and home. The network already offers thousands of different services. ‘Minitel’ is the generic name given to the range of videotext terminals provided by the PTT to telephone subscribers, which enable users to access services on Télétel. The programme was filmed in Paris and Montpellier. Interviews in French are sub-titled.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
