It’s an interesting take. But I think incorrect, cellphone services? Always had global components, and local construction and service.

I bet if we add a bunch of locally produced services the graph would show the same. The reason local/global looks like it works is tech in general is globalised.

I design tools that help us think and create. Making things on the internet since 96. I publish as I learn, so please help me spot the errors.

True, there’s a mix although I think you could make the argument that the drop in cell services pricing is partially dependent on the availability of cheap cell tower components and cell hardware which is all outsourced to China, India, Taiwan, etc

Your 2nd paragraph is my thinking too 🙂
