Comment

Typical tale of British fair play.

Marconi had some of the best technology for BT 21CN; a.n.other supplier didn't. Marconi lose contract on price; a.n.other supplier wins it, then buys (much of) Marconi to get technology to fulfil contract.

Result: net outflow of jobs and revenue from U.K.
