It's popular because it's 'home grown' It was created and controlled by one company. That's it. Nothing xenophobic about it.
the Yahoo debacle This was brought by a few private (i.e. non governemental) groups. Nothing to do with "the French".
the hassle over the Canadian Univercity I am not sure what that is about, but last time I checked Canada was not part of France (anymore). Although some people speak French there.
their Import and Export policies Is the same as any member of the Schengen treaty.
their enormous subsidies to their own producers France has some problems WRT agriculture. True. Does that mean the French are xenophobic? No.
And do you have any idea how popular BBS's were (and even still are in some places?). If you can show me that for years MILLIONS of people have used BBS's then you are right.

France's bizzare xenophonic-rooted obsession with the outdated Minitel I am not sure what's xenophobic about that. Oh, maybe your remark is.
The point of the minitel is that it makes money! Money, money, money! Shall I capitalize it? MONEY!
You are a TV company and broadcast a stupid game. You want people to phone to register for the game (you make money from phone calls). Can people register through the Web? No. You don't make money from the web (a little from ads, but not enough). You provide a minitel service: you make people pay. Easy.
The difference between the minitel and other similar systems (Prestel, BBS,...) is that the minitel worked and was VERY popular. Probably more people used the minitel than prestel and BBS put together.
In the mid 80's I used to work during the summer in a bank in France. When suddenly all the computers went dead. No more network. The reason for this was that the minitel and the bank network were using the same lines and the minitel suddenly had a surge in communication. Why ? Because the first "minitel rose" services had appeared. The minitel rose was some rather expensive porn chat services and they became very popular. So there you go. Internet, minitel, same thing.
You could do email ! There was a service in the early 90's. I can't recall the name, but my parents used it to email me when I was in the UK doing a PhD.
