According to intel we received from a well-placed source inside Sprint/Nextel, every article we write that has Sprint’s name on it gets put on the desk of Gary Forsee, CEO of Sprint. Our source, whom we’ll refer to as “Philip” so as not to endanger his job says,

He doesn’t pretend to read them all but he does read some of them in staff, especially when we look especially bad. That makes my day.

We had a very interesting conversation with Philip that we’ll be parceling out pieces of in discrete posts. For now, everyone wave hello to Gary!

The ghosts are gate-crashing the consumer party… spooky!
