I’ve been in Paris all week, and have gone out, on average, once a day. I
pre-printed a stack of already-filled-out forms at the beginning of the week,
so I’ve just checked the appropriate box each time I’ve gone out, no big deal.
Seems quite reasonable to me. Gets people to at least give some conscious
thought as to whether their reason for going out actually meets one of the
listed criteria. And I haven’t actually been stopped any of the times I’ve
gone out.
It’s early days yet, but Paris is handling this way, way better than I’d have
expected.
And a giant thumbs up to Free, who are keeping my 10G broadband flying along at
an actual, measurable, 10G.
