It strikes me that a lot of posters on this board are overlooking the reality that corporations are social organizations consisting of people, and it is how those people function together as leaders and employees, that largely determines whether the enterprise succeeds or fails. It is not run by machines and technology. Those are the tools and products. People invent the technology, sell it, manage the financials, and pay the owners. When this fails, here is where to look....the boardroom and the executive suite, often one in the same. MOst of the posts here are devoted to the state of telecommunication technology development around the world. However, the truth is, this company has never made money on cutting edge technology, and the overall state of it does not guarantee this company will make money from it. So, when one poster talks about Warren Buffett not knowing much about railroads but a lot about managers, that is spot on and much more relevant to this particular investment message board than the latest gee whiz gadjets on the market. So it seems to me.

IMHO, not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any stock.
