The only relevant WSJ article containing the word "Gilder" subsequent to his article on May 1 was the following. I have seen this one around a bit, but I don't know if this is what you mean. I suspect Ruff would be able to find the article--he can find anything.
A Point of Disclosure
AT&T is upset for understandable reasons about the May 1 article, "AT&T's Wireless Debacle," by George Gilder and Richard Vigilante. It is particularly upset that the article failed to disclose Mr. Gilder's long-held investment, now worth some $500,000, in Qualcomm, which pioneered the CDMA wireless technology competing with the TDMA chosen by AT&T. Mr. Gilder's investment is a matter of public record, mentioned for example in a Boston Globe profile in March, and we are sure the views expressed in the article are responsible for the investment rather than the other way around. Yet AT&T clearly has a point. Not including this in an article dealing directly with the technological battle was, given contemporary sensibilities, a lapse of judgment by our writer and an oversight by us.
This does not affect the substantive points made in the article, and we will as a matter of course also make appropriate space available to AT&T for its response to them. |
