This is a great starting point for a conversation about geo-politics. I'm not about to rush off and join the socialist party, and he certainly doesn't examine his own assumptions, BUT there are many interesting assertions about American power, intentions, and attitudes worth being aware of. The future scenario he paints shouldn't come as a complete surprise to anybody should it sadly come to pass. The war against Iraq and America's drive for world domination |

"underscore the anarchy and lack of planning within the
capitalist system..." Yeah, yeah. Minus the socialist yammering in this article, it has some great numbers on job cuts and investment which will help you explain to your mom why she's getting such a crappy christmas gift this year. What the socialists don't really explore though is WHY millions of really smart people make enormously bad investing decisions create horrible supply imbalance over and over again. To them it's just the inherent problem of market economies, but there's got to be a way around this besides cumbersome planned economies. Ideas?? Telecommunications layoffs mount worldwide |

Kondratieff long wave explaination. "But it was fun while it lasted" conclude our PhD's at the ITU. Page 18 of 23 An interesting datapoint is the 15% reduction in fixedline subscriptions in Finland where they now have 94% mobile penetration. (page 8 of 23). Such a drop in the US would mean an anual loss of $3.5 billion in revenue for the RBOCs. No wonder they make me get a phone with my damn DSL... ITU 2002 report |

"The heavily unregulated DSL market has been virtually monopolized and the cost of DSL has gone up in the U.S. from $39 to $49. It costs $29 (US) in Canada for the same service. Right now, Canadians are twice as likely and South Koreans are four times as likely to have broadband access than Americans. That%u2019s pitiful. " TISPA rant against Broadband Deployment Act |
