He admitted "I am a vocal, animated and sometimes foul mouthed CEO" so how can we trust his words about support and shared goals? He can proof something by making significant donation say 1MM to EFF https://www.eff.org/about/contact https://www.eff.org/about/contact
- placeybordeaux 11y agoThats an insane requirement.
- AnkhMorporkian 11y agoYou were very insensitive to a-b. You can prove you're sorry by donating say 1 000 000 USD to me.
- a-b 11y agoif I would be a face on national telecom operator and you non-profit organisation representing interests of significant part of my userbase I would consider this.
- placeybordeaux 11y agoWell it's a good thing you aren't. Thats a bad idea.
- a-b 11y agoI don't think this amount of money makes any difference for t-mobile, but this is a great way to support EFF and help these guys to ensure true online freedom and rights.
- nitrogen 11y agoWhile it'd be great for T-Mo to support the mission of organizations like EFF, it wouldn't be good for them to donate $1M (or some other amount) directly right now for a couple of reasons: - Donating in this situation sounds an awful lot like a shakedown. "Gee, what a nice mobile network you have. Donate $1M and we'll stop calling out your unfair network practices." - That much corporate money could affect the psychology within EFF as well as people's trust of EFF.
- agildehaus 11y agoHe could donate $40,000 directly to me. That'd be a much better deal.
- cmdrfred 11y agoI'll do it for 10k as long as you are ok with me outsourcing it to India.
- chc 11y agoYou distrust him because he admitted to being vocal, animated and foul-mouthed? That seems pretty honest to me.
- a-b 11y agoI want to support EFF, and help them to fund their needs.
- sliverstorm 11y agoPerhaps the only type he trusts less than dishonest men, is honest men.
- Avshalom 11y agoThe thing is, what that's basically code for and what he didn't admit is: he's an asshole. When some one tells you they're an asshole (or not-quite tells you) you shouldn't go "well that means they're honest and trustworthy" you should go "well that means they're an asshole".
- gertef 11y agoWhat part of "vocal", "animated" and "foul mouthed" is not trustworthy?
- 1123581321 11y agoI think he's a great CEO. He has forced AT&T and Verizon to try harder to keep customers, which is good for a lot of people. His direct style doesn't give himself much room to hide behind double-speak and buzzwords. I don't know if a dominant T-Mobile will be as pro-consumer, but as long as T-Mobile's taking shots at Verizon and being so loud about it, we benefit.
