Subject: Re: [IP] GM's New Chairman -- You Won't Drive on My Roads for Free

Who says there is no cosmic irony in the bland world of telecom? On
the day after thousands and thousands of pages were filed with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on a new national broadband
plan, General Motors announced its new post-bankruptcy chairman -- Ed
Whitacre, the former chairman of AT&T.


It is also ironic that someone who put the interest of AT&T above that of the government and society now runs a company in which the government is the major stockholder.
