All We have mergers which end up becoming monopoly on products you take synergy to reduce costs and that eventually will lead to higher costs public wise. You look at Asia and to part of her problem is inner competition transparency a problem and competition just eats at itself for survival. Asia is not unified we create high tech they compete with self to produce what we have envisioned and stretch this to far where competition exceeded demand which it appears to be our demand Currency crisis yet i have often viewed that as only external problems i sitll do. Hawaii facing problems because of tourism so will be not as many travelling from Asia. Canada to US can't afford to on the other hand others are thinking US Asia,Canada can afford to. If one continues like this for very long the high valued dollar has to become less valued. Just amounts to the stongest pricing themselves out of the publics reach as the public reaches elsewhere. Or does this not make sense as by the continuation of manufacturing policies in Asia and China that are beating the bottom line with each other labor wise and currency wise. The internal problems here are what the problem is. It is one thing to have companies in compete internally another global darn difficult to sell your products to such mass audience the net work has to be fantastic as well as the politcal arena. Perhaps i am way to simplistic but mega mergers created problems so down sizing took place because control could not be had. Here you have a mega market in the making everbody producing like at lower dollar and selling external. Just seems to me those that survive this are going to have carte blanche even better becuase what is to costly isn't going to be bought but made. What an opportunity for Asia if she wasn't at her own throat. Where am i wrong other than the time factor being long range. Scuse typing

Which lesson was it? Union workers strike US West over contract dispute August 16, 1998 Web posted at: 3:14 a.m. EDT (0714 GMT) DENVER (AP) -- About 34,000 union workers went on strike against US West Inc. early Sunday after two days of negotiations with a federal mediator failed to resolve a contentious contract dispute. Members of Communications Workers of America, including operators, customer-service representatives and field technicians in a 14-state region, walked off the job at 12:00 a.m. when their current three-year pact expired.
