engineer, Yes, I'm somewhat new to AT&T, and very weak on it's history. My strength is almost 30 years in the semiconductor business with 10+ years devoted to communication design, process development, test, assembly and lower/middle management. I've seen CEO's come and go. My long term vision is Wireless (I'm way overloaded on AWE) and I like fibre optics, the final winnner in broadband. IMO, wireless needs spun off and it looks it may happen. Broadband fiber will dominate B to B with comercial applications also. I believe the commercial appplication of fiber has serious questions of profitability. The interactive potential across the t.v. or p.c, or whichever rules has terrible cost to financial returns. Phones as we know them today are history. The WCOM / Sprint destruction disapppointed me. I own neither, but to me it's a sign of bad politics. Any contrarian views warmly appreciated as I view wireless and fiber as tomorroes winners. 2of2

Unless you mean that he is also moonlighting and running around impersonating both PAUL Allen and ROBERT Allen at the same time. ROFLMAO!!! Reminds me of that ComputerWorld cartoon from that era that showed Allen wearing all the hats at AT&T after the massive layoffs - him answering the customer service phones, stringing cable, playing operator, etc. Say what you will about Armstrong -- Robert Allen, now there was truly the gold standard of a worthless CEO.
