Lewis asks, “Whether it’s called the Information Superhighway or something else, doesn’t the U.S. need an advanced information infrastructure to keep competitive in the 21st century?” Grove replies: ”I think [an advanced information infrastructure] is vital. And I think it is happening. My problem with painting this undefined thing someplace in the future is you end up waiting for this nirvana instead of following the evolutionary process that is happening today.”
