It used to be about telephones.
NOW it’s about information distribution.
Both were about POWER....................
NOW its about information distribution.
It was always about information too. American Telephone and Telegrasph. I worked in the second "T" as a teletypwriter repairman for almost 20 years. During that time, the whole "Data" era came (and went) and "Digital" took over from the old AC sequential analogue signals. Now, instead of just information distribution, AT&T will be in the "information manufacturing" business.
