I'll bet Rick Miller, the ATT CFO had a hand in running it into the
ground. That's what he did for Wang Laboratories.

Carly Fiorina ran Lucent pretty much into the ground and the almost did

All of them most likely. There isn't a wireless company that gives a
squat about their customers. It's all about sales and revenue.


Probably....companies spend roughly ten times as much on "selling"
(getting
you as a customer) as they do on customer service (servicing the
products of
services) after they got you as a customer.

Of course, the overwhelming majority of CEO's come from Sales&Marketing
--
when was the last time you heard of a CEO that came from Customer
Service?
