C’est vrai que ce serait inquiétant qu’il n’y ait pas d’alternative à google dans ce créneau. Même s’ils font un bon boulot et que (pour l’instant) ils sont clean, il vaut mieux ne jamais mettre tous ses oeux dans le même panier.

Décidément, je me demande où toute cette histoire s’arrêtera. A mon avis, il ne finira pas son mandat. Le moral des ménages va continuer à se dégrader, sa politique fera grincer de plus en plus de dents.

OK, it is not essential in France if you have a provider like free or neuf, but it would allow to switch to any internet connexion and to keep the same software and settings to watch the TV.
