"Rise of the Stupid Network": a futuristic vision or a simple truth

Some words, documents or saying become immortal in this world. There is one paper written by AT&T Labs engineer, David Isenberg (www.isen.com). Although the article as well the author was disowned by AT&T. But history is telling that the company is disowned by the market and customers both, and tragedy is, for the same reason the paper discussed.

The copy of paper is posted here:

This was really a drastic change in thinking in '98. I read that this was written in one weekend (I also read that Neitzche also wrote most of his classics in one week or weekend).

Anyone who works in corporate world (and esp communication industry), should read this.

Bye for now...
