I just received my general license in June. Upgrading from a no-code tech to a general requires that you sit in a small room and copy a recording of morse code that is sent at 5 words per minute. You need to either pass a 10 question test regarding the one sided conversation or have a solid minute of the monologue written on your piece of paper with no mistakes. After this is over you go into a separate room and take the written test. I passed the morse with a solid minute of copy ( I missed too many questions on the morse test.) and missed two on the general test, good enough to pass!
This sounds similar to a book written by NYtimes Editor Thomas Friedman entitled The Lexus and the Olive Tree. The book was written during the tech boom and has some bad examples of successful companies that ended up tanking after publication. He makes the same argument for Transparency and applies it not only to corporations but entire Countries and Governments.
