Yes here is GTE out in the middle of Stamford, CT. GTE is a real mystery to me. They are supposed to be one of the biggest telecommunication companies, but I have never seen anything that they have done. I guess they are mostly a behind the scenes player. And perhaps they dabble in everything. Are they a focused company? I like their new logo though,"People moving ideas". Maybe their focus can be summed up in that statement.

Ah Xerox, "The Document Company.

Nevertheless, they are important and they will be around. 18 billion in revenue. See Close-up... | | Tosco |  | Tosco
