| Summary |
The rapid economic expansion of the Western countries during the XX century has favored the idea that Economy growth could be mathematically linked to the manufacturing processes and to a correct management and distribution of the common tools necessary in the social life. A specific geographical management and an adequate telecom framework are necessary for the success of the economic activities. Conversely, the telecom network should answer to the needs of the national economy. On these two basic topics, several errors have been expressed and can lead to non-useful investments |
