Common Worries Among Corporations and Governments - 1 views

  •  
    "Corporations and governments are starting to worry about a common set of related issues. During the last two months I was fortunate to participate in several conversations with top corporate executives and foreign government officials all of whom are visiting Silicon Valley with increasing frequency.

I want to summarize the topics being discussed by these diverse constituencies and provide a place for relevant comments and opinions."

  • It’s the soldiers who need to know what’s happening in the compound, knowledge that could mean the difference between life and death.
