Thanks, I had not seen that before.
I worked for a telco that has the largest operating area of any telco in the world, and was also a monopoly with the highest internet prices in the world.
Steve saying that product people (& Tech people) were not seen to improve the company, and that only sales and marketing did is absolutely spot on. I didn't see that at the time, and now in hindsight it's obvious. It also makes perfect sense why the former VP of Marketing is now the CEO (of a telco!), and not the VP of IT or Network.
