Tough times for telecom's rising star
The head of AT&T's business services has had a baptism of fire, writes Richard Waters

For the past five months, Rick Roscitt has been sitting in one of the hottest seats in global telecommunications - and it could get hotter.

AT&T's business services division, the unit he heads, had been one of the US carrier's main bastions of growth, delivering much of the increased revenue needed to offset the company's shrinking residential long-distance business.
