It will be funny to watch: Italy in the mid-late '90s was years ahead of France, that insisted on Minitel, on Internet, but it privatised the former public monopolist telco allowing it to keep a dominating position, the whole existing physical network (except a limited fiber network, bought by FastWeb, that still had to rely on Telecom Italia last mile, or even more than that, wherever it wasn't willing to invest to extend the fiber, and so it remained a fat niche, but never was really able to compete) and abusing it too. In a few years France surpassed us big time.
