How Ma Bell Shelved the Future for 60 Years by Tim Wu
- willheim 16y agoIt was precisely because of Bell Labs that I invested in Lucent back in the mid-90's just as the bubble started going. Their partnership, I imagined, would lead to great things. Did well in the stock (heck, you could do well in any stock then) despite the partnership never really achieving anything. Bell Labs was a great story. This dark tale of innovation burying and cover-up is even more incredible. One must wonder what other great discoveries lie boxed up in some warehouse.
