In Telecom Ramblings, Rob’s post of a few days ago was Unity versus Empowerment . It is worth a read for the bearonbusiness crowd.
Rob rightfully points out:
And it’s not really fair to say that either Zayo or Level 3 ought to do what the other does, because they *aren’t* the same. Zayo’s smaller size gives it more flexibility and less fear of organizational chaos, for example, and they should enjoy such benefits of youth while they can.
Nonetheless, it is an interesting read, especially for Zayo Bandwidth and Zayo Managed Services–both of which are doing a whole bunch right now to exploit the capabilities of Salesforce.com.
