A French businessperson. No independent, reliable references about him. Article was also deleted from the French Wikipedia for lack of references. Only one of the "references" is about Socchard and that is an interview. Rest of "references" either don't mention him or are about the companies. Article is not entirely true. Socchard was not the only founder of WorldNet and may not be a founder at all. Unable to find any independent, reliable references except for brief mentions of Socchard.

Added more references from French news paper archives, it clearly shows the link between WorldNet and Sebastien, and the placing of WorldNet in france when it was operating Syed Junaid (talk) 10:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
