Is there a more arrogant corporate chief in American than SBC Communication’s Ed Whitacre? Not if this interview in today’s San Francisco Chronicle is any indication.
Example: Whitacre says SBC’s shareholders paid for the copper-line infrastructure. Bull. The customers paid for it. And they had no choice but to buy from the government-granted monopolies controlled by SBC and its predecessors.
Give the man credit for sheer gall.
