The more that we find out about Bell Labs the more we all realize how much of our world they built.

We really could use a place like that today.

There is a place like that today. It is called "Nokia Bell Labs".

This comment was illuminating. It would indeed have been more accurate to say "we could really use people like that today." Where they're located is a secondary concern.

This is a valid point.

Are there still regularly ground-breaking innovations (which ones e.g. in the last decade) coming out of the same lab today, whatever its owner or name?
