Indeed, Sarkosy sees a delay of the country in the field of technology because of “a lack of a national ambition.” Sarkozyblog.free.fr.

The French delay is precisely the delay to express a national ambition about Internet technology. Sarkosy accuses the State of being responsible for this delay. France has not made itself a land of innovation, creativity and a land of firm creation in the Internet field. The structures of the country still remain too Centralist and make its economy a rigid system dominated by a few big groups whereas the Internet promotes the individual action and the demonstration of an independent mind. The French delay is also cultural because the people’s collective reflexion ignored the Internet as a birth of a new power which has had a global impact on many societies.

As a consequence, Sarkosy has decided to make the Internet as a priority in his first days as president.  His goal is to spark a deep renovation (makeover) of the country. First, Sarkosy wants to undertake a project of land settlement to enable a high speed connection on the whole territory. Sarkosy wants to make Internet more accessible to the students at their College or University and make them as a whole WIFI space.  He deeply believes in the Internet as a way to promote democracy.  He also suggests posting the French cultural asset Online by investing in public and free websites. He aggressively wants the State to support the small businesses’ effort to deal with changing technology. Finally, he wants to make France as a land where people will want to invest and to do business. Sarkosy wants France to become a country where people trust in the future and value success in their own lives.
