Proposal to add disambiguation link to Foxcom, the Israeli contractor that wired up radios in the U.S. Capitol Building, since acquired by Corning

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Can we add something like "for the Israeli company that wired up the U.S. Capitol Building and Annex, see FOXCOM|Corning Inc."?126.209.3.104 (talk) 16:23, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Negative. Article does not exist on the English Wikipedia (or the Hebrew one, for that matter). El_C 16:26, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

You saying Corning Inc doesn`t exist or you mean the Chamber of Commerce no longer has Foxcom on their books? If you need more info on the matter, see the below articles.

Oh yeah, the reason it needs disambiguation is because some people thought it was the same company (the Israeli Foxcom and the Chinese foxconn), especially after all those reports about working conditions for people on the Apple I-Phone assembly line. Thats when the non-trading name "Foxcom" was spread all over the newspapers (perhaps that was an editorial choice, for the purposes of creating ambiguation about the investigation of the Israelis).126.209.4.244 (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
