I could have told you it was coming - Sprint Nextel
I feel for Gary Forsee who is the subject of scrutiny according to the WSJ Article. The marriage of Nextel and Sprint has never been easy for me to understand given my limited knowledge of Nextel's network. Also the structure they operated was very distributed and made it hard to grasp how Sprint was going to integrate them.
Ray Smith made Bell Atlantic a cohesive whole by taking the budget and making it impossible for the locals to spend a dime. I hated it.
Being a local, I had customer's miffed that I could not deliver new services because the capital budget was unavailable. But in the long run the company ran smoother.
Mr. Forsee when he accepted the resignation of my former Bell Atlantic boss Len Lauer had to find a new COO. I wish him luck.
I would volunteer, but I don't think the stock market would believe my value.
