Who was/is ITT
They have owned:
- Commercial Cable Co (owned the Atlantic connection between Americas + Europe)
- Bell of Brussels (formerly of AT&T)
- Several American telcos in the 1920-30s
- PCM (as in they invented pulse code mod)
- Ericsson
- Wonder Bread
- Avis car rental
- Starwood Resorts - hundreds world wide such as Sheraton and Weston.
- ITT Hartford Insurance
- ITT Tech (of course)
- Countries - as in they quietly dictated:
Chile
Nigeria
(probably ours among others)
They have been suspiciously involved with the Nazis, Chinese and Martians, and even criminally prosecuted for said involvement. - Conversely ITT sued (successfully) the USA for damaging of ITT holdings in Nazi Germany during WWII - sounds like someone got their arm twisted hard. Many other political scandals have been revealed of the companies unscrupulous endeavors to influence and own.
In 1970 ITT sales were $8 billion - thats comparable to $48 billion by todays standards!!! Bill Gates was only worth $40 billion last year.
