Maybe I was too flippant. I was referring to my overall impression that the
article complains that 'globalisation' is taking work overseas and returning
it as a finished product - to the detriment of 'home' markets. I got the
references to the monopolies on the local loop, but to me - given the lack
of investment by new entrants - that is a sad given. Here in the EU as well
as elsewhere.
