   Actually, I see a distinct possibility that, that may just happen.   
      
   If you examine ebay closely, you will notice the chinese and HK are   
   direct marketing to the USA, using NO middle man here.  Like any   
   developing industrial nation, the life blood is innovation and "going   
   where no man has gone before."   
      
   Once China realize it has no need to let corps profit, here, from their   
   sweat there, they will have the equip. and cheap labor in place to bring   
   communication receivers and xmitters up to the current age, and damn   
   cheaply ... plus, they wont have the overhead of the "politics" and   
   proprietary thinking which plagues our present lazy and monopolistic   
   companies here ... anyway, just a possibility.
