|  America for sale.
The big winner, T-Mobile, is a 100% German owned company and the second biggest, Verizion Wireless, is 49% owned by Vodafone, a British company. The rest were bought by CATV companies and Satellite TV/internet providers. It did not mention CLEC/ISPs putting in any bids, pity they could show us how a network should be built.
It was not that long ago that the US of A had the best, by far, communication network in the world. Every scrap of cable, equipment and brain power was made in the US of A. |

Your point is? T-Mobile (Deutsch Telekom) and Verizon (Vodafone) employ hundreds of thousands of American citizens. That's just like saying buying a Honda or Toyota isn't supporting US jobs. They both employ thousands, and most of those two brands (at least the most popular brands) are built right here in America. Ford and Chevy can't even say that! (most popular models are often built in Canada.)
Your argument is full of outdated, close-minded thinking.

Ottawa, ON | And I would like to add that the USA is a capitalist country, which means any person, whether he is American or not, can invest his money as he wishes. |

That's a compliment to our country. Name any other country that large multi-national corporations so freely invest their money anticipating large returns. Clearly, it's a statement about the safety, integrity and honesty of our great democracy.
I know there are many who criticize this country and, in fact, that's also what makes this nation great. It's not perfect and the future may hold better societies and nations. However, right now every citizen in this great country is truly privileged to live here. |
