The Economist of September 30-October 6 has a long survey
of global telecommunications, excellently researched
and written:
The death of distance as a determinant of the cost of
communications will probably be the single most
important economic force shaping society in the first
half of the next century. It will alter, in ways that
are only dimly imaginable, decisions about where people
live and work; concepts of national borders; patterns of
international trade. Its effects will be as pervasive as
those of the discovery of electricity.
