Hey, people should take notes when I rant.
However you're right and as I said a long time ago it
probably would have been helpful to try to coordinate
things a little better.
On the other hand, the unilateral action completely
eliminated any argument that there was collusion between
Sprint, MCI and the rest, which maybe was a good thing at
the time.
That people still yell about this is sort-of funny.
Do you think people would be screaming less about
allocation policies if I had been doing a count-down
between the final warning and the actual implementation?
(That's an actual question with obvious future operational
impact rather than a rhetorical point. Really.)
Sean.
