Zitat des Tages von Xavier Niel:
France is a fantastic country. It's between the Anglo-Saxon and Latin cultures. We have some of the Anglo-Saxon rigor, and some of the Latin quirkiness.
A free, analytical and questioning press must be helped survive.
I'm always investing. I'm constantly in talks with someone about some opportunity.
I made a lot of money, and I want to give something back to my country.
Any country that wants to lower its mobile phone rates, all they need to do is bring in an aggressive player.
I don't think Steve Jobs had much desire to share his fortune.
I once said, 'Steve Jobs is the American Xavier Niel,' but that was humour.
I'd rather people talked about the 1,000 most successful French Internet companies instead of the 5 or 10 faces we already know - including mine.
Personally, I have invested in around ten U.S. companies and will continue to do so. That doesn't give me a strong experience in the American market. But I have an understanding of the public.
From France, you can call anywhere in the world for free. Americans can't do that!
It's funny how the smallest things I've done speak the loudest about me, but I like that.
Telecoms is a national business. There isn't a European market. There's no Telecom Italia in France.
Stephane Richard is far more attuned to the market than Didier Lombard.
'Entrepreneur' is a French word.
I have done a lot of stupid things in my life.
We have to help young people, because at the end of the day, we won't have an economy if we don't have them.
The question for France and all countries is, 'Do you favour foreign Internet operators that do not pay, or do you favour national operators who pay?'
Each week I try to have three lunches with my children, one working lunch, and one lunch with mates.
France has the least social mobility of any developed country. The social elevator no longer works. It's broken.
YouTube is a problem. It has very big traffic, but it refuses to contribute to the weight of that traffic.
I like being an outsider. It is better in France on the outside.
