Abstract: Abstract In spite of mergers, acquisitions and alliances in the media and the telecommunications industry — which we saw in Chapter 1 and followed up in several other chapters — huge innovative projects like those we have been discussing cannot be financed solely by private industry. There is also the important issue of training the technologists needed to undertake these projects. Both are two good reasons for government support; hence, for taxpayers’ money.
