Was Minitel something only the middle and upper classes had, or was it a universal thing?
I'm from the UK, I didn't get onto the web until 1999, before that we used Teletext. I think the advantage to it was most televisions supported Teletext by the 1980s and it was a free service - albeit you had to pay your annual TV license.
