I like the idea too. However it is worth noting that Bell Labs' hey day was a while back [1]. YC's Request for Startups makes a reference to Bell Labs, 'Bell Labs worked a long time ago but would probably not work in today’s world'. I suppose the key word is 'probably'. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but certainly Nokia and Bell Labs have their work cut out. [1] http://www.wired.com/2014/09/coupland-bell-labs/ http://www.wired.com/2014/09/coupland-bell-labs/
