Sprint, SBC Make Roaming Deal… Again?

Sprint, SBC Make Roaming Deal… Again? 08/27/2004 01:30 PM
Sprint and SBC said their Wi-Fi customers can roam between the networks: Just a month ago, USA Today published an unconfirmed report that the two had struck a roaming deal. The most important aspect of a roaming deal between Sprint and SBC may be that it opens up more access to airport hotspots for customers. Airports have been hotly contested space and operators have fought to "own" airports. That may change anyway, however, with a recent clarification of FCC rules that would allow airlines or shops in airports to deliver their own Wi-Fi services. That means that eventually, multiple operators may build networks in each airport. Other than airports, the rest of the agreement between SBC and Sprint may include a lot of overlap. They both already have deals with Wayport and Concourse. Sprint has a roaming agreement with AT&T Wireless, which could also become redundant assuming the AT&T Wireless/Cingular merger goes through. Cingular is part-owned by SBC. At the end of July, USA Today reported that Sprint had just 12 of its own hotspots, which likely does not include its Truckstop.net hotspots that are technically built by Sprint's managed services division. Even if this deal doesn't significantly expand SBC's network, it's one more roaming deal which is a good thing. Such deals help increase the number of networks users can access, which in turn makes subscribing more attractive....

A Cog in the Baseball Machine

A Cog in the Baseball Machine 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
Last month I went to an all-day umpiring workshop, and today was the Little League Opening Day parade. As a side-effect, I’m feeling rather culturally well-rooted, not to mention erudite: two strikes on the batter, a foul-tip bounces off the catcher’s mask into the air, the third basemen charges in and catches it; is the batter out? Or... runners on first and second, pop fly to third, infield-fly rule called, the ball bounces off the third baseman’s glove through foul territory into the dugout, what happens? Then there’s the crash and howl of the bagpipe band as hundreds of bright-clad children march onto the immaculate infield grass... Opening Day!...

Management by Baseball

Management by Baseball 01/18/2004 03:44 AM

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but I’m a rabid baseball fan. I love the game. I love to watch it, play it, and coach it. I even like to read about it, and I’ve often felt that you can learn a lot about managing a company from baseball. Jeff Angus feels the same way.

Angus is a former baseball reporter and current management consultant. His blog, Management by Baseball takes lessons learned from baseball news and applies them to business management. MBB is full of well-written, thoughtful analysis and I’ve been learning a lot about both baseball and business as I read it. I rarely go back and read through all the archives of new blogs that I discover, but I find myself working backward through MBB and I’m sure I’ll be disappointed to reach the end.

"Have you seen my baseball glove?"

"Why do you need your baseball glove at 10:30 on a Saturday night?"

Normally, the answer to this question would involve me making mildly to extremely inappropriate suggestions involving a trip to trashy lingerie and some Jack Daniels . . . but I was faced with a serious problem. I had a fever, and the only prescription was my baseball glove!

"I'm going to Dodger Stadium with my dad tomorrow morning for their Father's Day 'play catch with dad in the outfield' event, and I need my glove!"

Subject: Saturday Game Time Changed to 7:35 pm!
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 17:32:47 -0700 (PDT)
From: getinthegame@rivercats.com
To: undisclosed-recipients:;

Hey Fans,

Due to tomorrow’s game (Saturday) being televised on Fox Sports Net Bay Area, the game will start at 7:35pm. The gates will still open at 6:00pm! Don’t miss the Sutter Health Fireworks after the game!

To buy tickets to this game, click here.

Hey Rivercats,

When I provided personal information to Tickets.com when purchasing tickets online I had no idea that you would spam me. The phone call from Ryan in your season ticket sales office was bad enough, but you just sent me an alert about the changed start time of a game I don’t have tickets for. But that’s okay, you say, because using the simple link enclosed in the email, I can buy tickets.

I’m sure you think this behavior is okay. You probably assumed everyone who’d bought tickets in the past might be interested in this information. You may even think red wine pairs well with fish. But you’d be wrong on all counts. Well, except about the fish—a fruity red actually goes quite well with grilled tuna—but that’s a whole other story.

Email marketing should be permission based. Write that down and glue it to your monitor. Placing an order with a third party vendor who shares that information with you DOES NOT constitute giving you permission to use it for marketing purposes. You see, when you send a commercial message by email to lots of people who didn’t ask for it, you have what’s known as Unsolicited Commercial Bulk Mail. Spam in the common vernacular.

Whichever over-eager marketing intern came up with the bright idea to use the tickets.com information for marketing should be fired. In public. At the plate during the 7th inning stretch. While wearing a dunce cap and a tutu. This person has single-handedly destroyed whatever reputation and goodwill the Rivercats brand has with nearly everyone who was the target of this misguided missive.

At first I was upset with Tickets.com for sharing this information with you. After all, I shared the information with them and they passed it on to you. But then I realized that some information has to be shared with the venue. And the Tickets.com privacy policy is pretty clear that they have no control over what the venue does once they have that information. After all, they’re just acting as a service provider. I really bought the tickets from the Rivercats, not from Tickets.com. It’s the Rivercats who abused my contact info, not Tickets.com

So do me a favor and take me off your email and phone lists. And do yourself a favor and toss out the lists you got from Tickets.com. Sure, you’ve built a big list, but it’s not a very good list.
