The study deals with the ways in which the general public and the government make use of new information and communication technologies. We analyze the physical locations of Internet sites with “fr” as their domain names. The data were provided by the French NIC center (AFNIC). Using this sample (a quarter of all French sites), we find a rather even distribution of French sites in the Paris area plus the other main French cities, and the remainder of France. In addition, we try to enumerate the initiatives of the public actors responsible for the regional planning of the new information and communication technologies. Firstly, we clarify the economic and legal framework in which public actors are obliged to work. Then, we describe the principal projects and the main motivations of the partners involved. In this case, the distribution is much less clear, because rural actors are sometimes more conscious than urban actors about the possibilities offered by new information and communication technologies.
