One thought on “5G: The Gateway to the Office and International Economic Dominance”
Thanks for prompting me to activate my WSJ subscription! While this article definitely raises questions about which relationship between businesses and the state is best for promoting new technologies, I didn’t see any significant engagement with history before the year 2000. I wonder if the growth of older communications technologies (eg. telegraph) in China served as a precedent in any way for this one, or if China’s more turbulent recent history makes comparison with the early 20th century fruitless?
