I was reading a post from Rod about Telecom's stupid idea to sell Yellow Pages.  I couldn't agree more, it is a dumb idea, but I have a more cynical POV on this.  As a (very) small time share hold who bought at $8.60 I'll be very pleased to get some money back - even if it's just $0.25 per share.

Bad company decisions from bad companies and bad management hasten the demise of the company.  Telecom is long overdue for annihilation.  Govmint legislation and stupid ideas like this are a good thing if they lead to the death of Telecom - provided that it's a slow lingering death that gives the employees, vendors and customers time to 'adjust'. So I'll be sending a thank you note to Ms Gating and encouraging her to stay on for another few years.  Think of all the future cock-ups we will miss out on when she leaves!
