the gorcery strike was all about WalMart. As for the telcos, look out below...especially the cellular carriers. Why? Mesh networks. If things go that way, Verizon, Cingular and the rest will just be commodity brokers who keep the main plumbing going. They will be locked out of the content market (where the future money is) by massively p2p mesh systems. That is unless they squash everything through policy/legislation.
I worked for a cable company as an installer back in the early 80's. We did the exact same work as the telco installers for 1/3 the money. I was an IBEW member, but we were not a closed shop, so it didn't matter much.
