I am assured that when the idea first sparked in the cells of Tim  
Berners-Lee he was in the accelerator tunnel of CERN under French  
soil, which is indeed where most of the tunnel runs even if the  
fearful tin shacks in which the employees of CERN toil mainly grace  
the territory of our Swiss neighbours. I am sure that TBL will confirm  
this, if offered the Légion d'honneur and a few cases of Meursault.  
But much good has it done us here in Ferney-Voltaire: for ten years  
now I have lived and worked directly over the CERN backbone, and still  
have to make do with the toy-town ADSL supplied by France Telecom.
