Of course, I was just joking about the horsewhipping Ed Whitacre, but the damage he has done to the U.S. economy over the last decade is incalculable. He has squandered our technological advantage and the rest of the world is catching up. At this rate, China will soon have a better telecommunications infrastructure that the U.S. - thanks to Ed Whitacre.
Explain how Ed has hurt the economy and what China has to do with anything going on here? Also, the Chinese government plays a major role in their telecom infrastructure developent.
