Masayoshi Son's cult of personality won't alter the future of spectrum. My take on SoftBank's executive soap opera https://t.co/r8r7N69CHD

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

... and he protests industry reports about it, refashioning the spin by referring to himself in the 3rd person https://t.co/oIEjqNT1Ja

No! Arora departs after doing what he promised and Masa wanting to be CEO for longer. :). Arora for clean chit. https://t.co/nthM0l65c3

Fascinating tweet-storm today (this evening in Tokyo) by the departing No. 2 at the skidding SoftBank, owner of $S https://t.co/Foa1xw8WzE

[Nikesh Arora @nikesharora]

Masa 2 continue 2 be CEO for 5-10 years, respect that. Learnt a lot. Clean chit from board after through review. Time for me to move on.

SoftBank President (#2 to Masayoshi Son) is leaving. Many problems - Sprint mess & others. Something's gotta give https://t.co/PYrzDJIR8S

FCC aims to open high-band #5G spectrum. Wheeler wants "cornucopia of unanticipated innovative uses" & econ stimulus https://t.co/wdMkiDU6pe

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

Does Sprint's huge spectrum do the market any good if they are necessarily so slow building it out? Alternatives https://t.co/in6plJGNK6

SCOTUS might not even take the net neutrality case if & when appealed by telcos & cablecos. In Regitsky's commentary https://t.co/XlXnj6GiVt

"Wholesale telecom makes money again, and why that matters to you." New on my blog for enterprise users https://t.co/6nQEVvwoJA

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

.@TelcoRamblings essentially makes case that despite appeal the industry has baked in Title II & moved onto content https://t.co/qKBSWIB2rD

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

Interesting logic in decision that content providers now more important than ISPs in user decisions, thus their concerns prevail, per WSJ

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

2-1 net neutrality decision by DC appeals court upholding Title II is "dense, methodical" https://t.co/b1EQn40eUh

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

FCC wins net neutrality in DC court of appeals. Former Repub Commish McDowell @WileyRein tweets "on to SCOTUS." Many chiming in both sides

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

$MSFT dodgy score on M&A. Notable line: "Skype is [being] gradually refashioned into a business communications tool" https://t.co/ueYd07Rj3d

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

Can $MSFT cut contradictory career advice on LinkedIn? Half sez "Promote yourself! Brag a lot!" Half sez "Be humble! Give credit to others!"

New fiber buildout to a different part of Maryland's Eastern Shore. Note my comment appended to story https://t.co/9xkDoSwmbj

An FCC Dem Commish on #5G this week. See her feed for the other four nuggets. https://t.co/OR8ahvaOnw

Could Verizon possibly not want to be an ILEC anymore? Strike impact + #5G happy talk on costs give rise to thoughts https://t.co/SNK13ErQlo

[David Rohde @RohdeTelecom]

Cogent case for why Verizon could still pull ahead in the bumper-car race for #Yahoo despite the number of entrants https://t.co/uzRAY7SN22
