- hazeii 9y agoYour persona is almostly certainly still in there (unless you were naughty enough to get blotted). The Telecom Gold gateway was way better than the Prestel one; more gome users on the Prestel (Micronet) side though. What killed both Prestel - and the BT interest in Minitel - was the bad press they were getting for their premium rate business. So BT decided to 'de-emphasise' all the non-core business by treating the paying customers like sh!t; sort of bounced off the Shades players though, so eventually they did have to just shut it all down.
