Gilder and TeraBeam are mentioned on page 66 of the March 25th - 31st 2000 edition of the Economist. There is also a one page bio of him on page 73, entitled 'The accidental messiah. An ageing economist sends America's technology markets spinning. His name is not Greenspan: George Gilder is at last getting his due. ...Being a market-mover brings complications: questions about his financial interests, calls to start a fund, pressure to pick listed firms each month even if his instincts take him to unlisted ones. And being a VIP means he gets treated like one. These days, there is less hanging out with engineers and talking shop. When Mr Gilder visits firms, investor-relations officers greet him at the door and put a press release in his hand. He credits his insight to the advice of his academic mentor, the semiconductor pioneer Carver Mead: "listen to the technology". But with the world's markets echoing to the sound of his own voice, that gets harder all the time." - Fred
