important as a good connection by means of water, road and
railtrack. A fiber network has proven to be an important
settlement criterion for young professionals, knowledge-intensive
companies, port-related companies and companies in the medical-
technological sector. A high-quality communications network is
essential as well for cultural institutions.”

Telecom is Just a Phrase We're Going Through
The words we use can betray us. “Telecommunications”
combines two unrelated words as if they represented a
single concept. We now understand that “tele” (transport
over a distance) and “communicating” (talking) are
distinct concepts. Because we confuse the two we find
ourselves ceding control of our ability to communicate.
We accept the limited choices the carriers choose to sell
us – the ones that are most profitable to them.
