What a bizzare disjoint article. Bell Labs, Quantum Computing, racial discrimination, blah, blah. There are analogs to Bell Labs today, including in Google and other working on Quantum Computing, and machine learning, and self driving vehicles, and... With one similarity that large (possibly monopoly) financial power allows companies to make these long term expensive investments. If somebody in Nature wanted to opine on Bell Labs like organizations they only need to look at the many examples out there. Sure they will look different but they are there. Why what was written was worthy of being a feature article in Nature Review physics is beyond me.
