"allusions and implications" are the points, in the plural: 1) Globalization has forced new model of R&D. 2) Capital is being better allocated rather than wasted discovering the echoes of the Big Bang 3) We have enough technology to last until 2017. (This is the result of the tech bubble when speculators move money in. We have a huge pool of technology that will take one decade more to 'digest'. 5) Scientists have to be at the service of the economy not the other way around. 6) another outcome -a very welcome one- could be drying up the funds for, say, marine biologists and other assorted bunch of redundant scientist , with the end result of having less people scared about the sea level rising 40m in a couple of years. It is a brave new world. And I am loving every minute of it. What does this have to do with us telecoms die harders? A lot. See the Google strapping computers together to power search engines? Before you would need a Bell Labs to amass that horse power. Cheap technology is good. Oil men today have computer horse power at their hands to "see" oil 10Km below the ocean surface. Technology to detect submarines is being used by those offshore oil men and revolutionizing oil exploration and extraction. All technology that needs digestion. It is already there. Oh, back to telecoms. Telecom was a closed province of very few who gorged on profits. Now that province is being opened up and we will have cheaper and better services with the likes of Google entering where Ericsson, Lucent Siemens et caterva dominated. Perhas FTTH will never ever happen.
