Federal Express Corporation data permit examination of Atlanta's national and regional command and control functions. The concepts of information genesis, hierarchy of control, and spatial independence of information receipt clarify Atlanta's place within the specialized information network. Atlanta occupies an advantageous position within the intermetropolitan information network from which much of the Southeast's economic activity is organized.
