Media in the New Millennium

Dear Mr. Stephenson:
I’ve been pretty vocal with my displeasure about your company in some pretty public forums of late. I thought I’d take a moment to tell you why, as well as offer a suggestion for fixing your problem.
Here’s the issue: I hire you to provide me with one product — the voice/data service on [...]

Well, we hate to say we told you so, but we wrote about the debacle that was CompUSA vs. the great experience of the Apple Store months ago. Now CompUSA is gone (yes, online, but gone as a retail entity) and the Apple Store thrives (check out our post here).
