In just seventeen months as T-Mobile CEO, John Legere has seen his “Uncarrier” strategy add 4.4 million subscribers. Uncarrier is an awkward name for a carrier who does not behave like one.

Part 1 – I’ve Been Losing You Part 2 – The Blood That Moves the Body The Sun Never Shone That Day Morten Harket stood in the men’s department of famous international superstore, Bloominghell’s. “Welcome to Bloominghell’s!” enthused a dapper young man who was clearly making a rather embarrassing attempt to grow a mustache years before […]
