How global telecom companies enter Israel

The world has come a long way since Lily Tomlin plugged the phones in on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In in the late '60's. Now, global telecom companies - a word we never heard back then - are investing big time in Israel. Here's Levi Shapiro in the JPost.

Israel is a global leader in wireless technologies, attracting R&D and scouting activities from major telecom groups like AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, SingTel, Telefonica, and Sprint / Softbank.

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
