There is only one reason for this abysmal performance. Intel has awful management. It remains the world's largest one product company -- namely the chip for the IBM (and now Apple) PC. Everything else it has tried has failed -- from video conferencing to telecommunications and in between.

All this is known. What you're about to read is not known.

Many years ago, I published a magazine called Computer Telephony. As editor, I was very close to the pre-eminent supplier in that industry -- a company called Dialogic Corporation. In 1999 computer telephony was hot. And Intel bought Dialogic in 1999 for close to $1 billion. It proceeded to bury the company within the gigantic Intel bureaucracy. Most of Dialogic's senior management quickly left.

By the Spring of this year, I was reading in the trade press that Intel was cleaning house and divesting itself of various businesses it had bought over the years and turned into drek -- also called Reverse Midas Touch. On June 27, 2006 Intel announced it was selling its communications and application processor business to Marvell Technology Group for $600 million. I knew that didn't include Dialogic. I got to thinking. Maybe I could buy Dialogic? I contacted two of Dialogic's original founders, who were now rich, semi-retired and bored, and said "Let's buy Dialogic back." They loved the idea.
