Life and death of a mobile telco
Terrific, damning article in today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer (via Forbes) by Dan Richman, who details exactly how a Ma Bell scion could manage to lose its way as thoroughly as AT&T Wireless did. I've heard the tales of those wild and wooly McCaw Wireless days, but the latter, darker days were news to me. Sounds like a lot of folk in Seattle speak of CEO John Zeglis in the same tone some folks reserve for the likes of Bernie Ebbers (MCI / WorldCom) or Kenneth Lay (Enron). There's a heck of a book in here -- suppose the telecom world's woes could lure Michael "Moneyball" Lewis back to the biz-news trenches?
