OT: Iceland actually has some pretty tough telecom guys, I'm
just waiting for them to set up some local R&D based
on really remote working. (if they already have, please
comment)
One particular saved the (frmr) butt of one (frmr) major
american company.
Hmm.. need to check the map if they would beat Oulu as
the northernmost telecom center if that would happen??
Ilmarinen.
P.S. Oulu, just south of the polar circle, additionally
has a history of providing tar for the frmrly imperial
english fleet, until tar started to be produced in USA
and then wooden tarred ships were replace by copper.
P.P.S Additionally that north part of Finland was where
the real Adam Smith, Anders Chydenius, wrote his "Wealth
of Nations" 10 years before Adam Smith (of Scotland with
similar problems of London-based licensing)
P.P.P.S. Ollila comes from pretty much the same region
P.P.P.P.S Chydenius recommended using native american
canoes to increase local trade, was never used, but
his original drawings was used to build a replica some
years ago. (Chydenius also actually got into the
congress of Stockholm, A. Smith did not make it into
London to implement the ideas) |
