Abstract
"It exudes a state of euphoric glee i.e., our system at work! The most recent episode of this situation comedy (called ""free enterprise"") was entitled: ""It works, it's reliable and cheap so let's dump it!"" Thus, it can be argued that the world's only working reliable economical telecommunications system was scrapped to satisfy the desires of a handful of entrepreneurs. Basically, individuals who had discovered that a string of radio transmitter/receiver combinations, once installed, could make money because such devices require very little attention if done right and would nearly run forever just add electricity!"
