调查击垮电信行业的财务欺诈与盲目权力博弈。电信行业曾是道琼斯和 NASDAQ 的基石，却在近代史上吞噬了比其他任何行业都多的资本，最终一无所获。如今，在商业版面上接连曝光的连串财务黑幕交易中，它是迄今为止最恶劣的罪魁祸首；然而，许多这些已经破产或濒临破产的公司高管所获得的回报，却与公司的衰退成反比。Broadbandits 带领读者走进幕后，揭秘那段

……电信公司的目标就是尽可能长久地把 FCC 的网速目标卡在铜线极限以内，免得去兑现他们在 90 年代拿了补贴承诺要铺设的光纤。Om Malik 写过一本极好的书，书名叫《Broadbandits》，详细讲述了这场 7500 亿美元的电信大劫案（回到 30 年前，对一家企业来说 10 亿都还是一笔巨款）。https://www.amazon.com/Broadbandits-Inside-Billion-Telecom-H...
…The goal of the telco is to keep the FCC speed goal at copper limits for as long as possible to avoid paying the fiber they were paid to build in the 90’s. Om Malik wrote a fantastic book entitled: “Broadbandits” which covers the $750B telecom heist (way back 30 years ago when a single billion was a lot of money for a business). https://www.amazon.com/Broadbandits-Inside-Billion-Telecom-H...
……补贴他们的纳税人税金，你就会意识到这些网络基本上是公民掏了钱建的，然后由私营企业拿去盈利。这里有一本关于这个主题的好书：http://www.amazon.com/Broadbandits-Inside-Billion-Telecom-He... >另外，你对企业存在意义的理解真是有大问题。所有人都可以拥有完全信息，而企业依然可以运作得好好的。我依然会付钱……
…the tax dollars subsidizing them, you'll realize that the networks were basically paid for by the citizens and operated privately at a profit. Here's a good book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Broadbandits-Inside-Billion-Telecom-He... >Also, your understanding of the point of a business is really flawed. Everyone can have perfect information and businesses can still function just fine. I continue to pay…

……他在旧金山湾区办的 GigaOm 活动。在那之前，我长期以来一直读他的 GigaOm 博客以及在 Fast Company、Red Herring、Light Reading 和其他地方的其他文章，包括他的书《Broadbandits》。他是少数按照自己所看到的那样去写的博主/记者之一；他的观点往往极其诚实且尖锐。他抨击了互联网泡沫和电信泡沫时期各种电信高管的过度行为……
…his GigaOm events in the SF Bay Area. Before that, I had been a long time reader of his GigaOm blogs and other writings at Fast Company, Red Herring, Light Reading, and elsewhere, including his book Broadbandits. He was one of the few bloggers / reporters who wrote it as he saw it; his takes were often brutally honest and pointed. He called upon the excesses of various telecom execs during the dot-com and telecom…
……那些年里我们成了朋友，有时会一起吃午饭，聊各种各样的事情，从技术到家庭。我向他透露了一些我在互联网泡沫中目睹的事情，供他的《Broadbandits》一书使用。后来，我继续为 GigaOm 撰写特约文章。再见，伙计。60 岁太年轻了。你是最棒的之一。也许你正以另一种方式抢先获得独家新闻。
…During those years he became a friend and we would sometimes grab lunch and chat about all manner of things, from tech to family. I dished on some of what I watched go down in the dot-com bubble for his Broadbandits book. Later, I would go on to write contributed articles for GigaOm. Goodbye, buddy. 60 is too young. You were one of the best. Maybe you’re getting the early scoop in a different way.
