Maurice:

You're not alone in thinking that whoever is in charge of the US rollout should be canned. Very basic stuff was overlooked such as marketing. The early marketing effort was very weak and there's been no follow up. US should not be far behind Canada.

In Kerr's defense, though, I really think that G* has been hurt by the consolidation in the cellular industry. Instead of having multiple partners who would each value what G* could add to their bottom line, G* has a few mega SPs that focus their efforts on larger fish, including merging their systems with their new partners. This has diverted focus away from the rollout, including that data mining that BLS promised from Airtouch.

Many great ideas have been posted here, but allow me to post another: G*USA should GIVE the phones to potential corporate clients, including car sets, for a trial basis of 30 days with a generous amount of minutes. Allow the potential client to get hooked and to see first hand the benefits of the G* phone. That will invariably lead to sales of phones and MOU. Sure, some phones will be tied up for a month or two, but who cares; it's not like they're jumping off the shelves.

Just my two cents worth.
