But I was wrong. Despite a massive effort, the only thing private chains have achieved so far is impressive headlines followed by even more impressive failures. I can’t find a single instance of a corporate project doing something useful despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested in many. The list of epic failures grows by the week.
