A side note. I saved from the dumpster a plan for AT&T self divestiture composed internally so that they could do computers (they invented a PC in 1969) and breakup logically. If it was accepted over FIGHT, FIGHT, we would be 30 years ahead and still have the old Bell Labs.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1187099651993825280 …
Indeed, wisdom there. Ahh, so where are the opportunities today in a breakup world that begins in the next 48 months?

Not necessarily in the world to come, but looking back at AT&T? You know management is not going to cooperate and divestiture will eventually occur. So how would an entrepreneur be able to take advantage of innovations at the time that were left to gather dust?

Great question. An organized attempt to make into products the research at Bell Labs and Western Electric. Many of the inventors were leaving and cast to the wind. A good thinker and leader with that $100 million would have pieced it together. It would have changed history.
