Industrial revolutions can punish their pioneers – and that’s what’s happening to the United States in the world of digital communication.
A country can invent a technology, build an infrastructure around it – then see latecomers refine the technology and build a better infrastructure.

Parents on Tacoma’s East Side and City Council members are feeling blindsided by news that the East Side Branch of the Boys &#38; Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound is closing in mid-August.
