   I don't understand the point you're making. Stagnant corporate profits can happen for a lot of good reasons, particularly when there's GDP growth over the same period. Increased labor pay, increased competition, cheaper and h

   I think they're referring to the radiation emitted because of nuclear plants, like nuclear accidents at Marcoule, Fukishima, Paks, etc, transport and waste disposal and so on.

   We're talking about the telecom industry-- if any group of competitors can stomach high fixed costs to reap future margins it's them. Launch new satellites, build new towers, lay new lines, whatever-- it's all the same Intern
