Whine snobbery
Art Brodsky, in a HuffPost piece called, "Chateau AT&T Produces a Vintage Whine," takes AT&T to task for its July 12 FCC filing [.pdf] threatening to sue the FCC if it fails to conduct the 700 MHz auction just-so, writes
Brodsky deservedly lambastes the AT&T filing with the gusto of a connoisseur. The filing sets a new benchmark in flagrant incumbent arrogance. It will age like a telco exec doing ten to twenty in the cooler.
The July 12, 2007 from Chateau AT&T . . . is bold and robust, dominated by classic indignation, accented with dark undercurrents of threatened litigation and yet, through it all, not a hint of irony. This is a whine for the ages.
It has to be that good because it is paired with the rare and delicate 700 MHz spectrum, in itself a complex blend of public safety, incumbent operators, license sizes, service conditions and a promise of innovation that confounds even the most dedicated of telecom palates.
