Comments on: What Does Darren Entwistle Do Next? http://www.markevanstech.com/2006/10/30/what-does-darren-entwistle-do-next/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:38:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Stuart MacDonald http://www.markevanstech.com/2006/10/30/what-does-darren-entwistle-do-next/#comment-2008 Stuart MacDonald Mon, 30 Oct 2006 23:06:56 +0000 http://markevanstech.com/?p=1862#comment-2008 Mark, I agree that the story was a good read. The only thing I found a bit hard to wrap my head around was the whole "gee I'm so unhappy" thing. The way Reguly kept talking about it really had me scratching my head over whether he really is, or that was just Reguly's angle for the story. Um, dude, if you are that unhappy? Leave the frickin' building. Life goes on. It might get worse for others you leave behind, but move on. Trust me on that one ;-) To be sure the question of "what's next" is always tough, and it could be that has you stuck. It isn't easy. But if it truly is that nasty? Pull the bloody chute. Seriously, dude. Ping me. It sucks at first but then it's pretty sweet on the outside. And you're only 44. You ain't done. - Stuart Mark, I agree that the story was a good read.

I think Darren Entwistle is one of the brightest CEO's that Canada has ever produced. However, the interesting thing that came out of the Microcell/Rogers deal was finally understanding that the CRTC doesn't know what the hell is going on in the industry. How it allowed GSM in Canada to be monopolized is completely beyond me. I completely agree. I think Darren Entwistle is one of the brightest CEO's that Canada has ever produced.

In fact, I think early on Entwistle was waiting impatiently for Rogers or Bell to take Microcell out of the game. I truly believe he made the bid believing that it was a win-win. Bid low, get a good deal and bolster your position in wireless, or have someone else come in, bid more, and take a competitor out of play -- which causes all ships to rise. The fact he was so inflexible with the price he offered, despite protest from Microcell's board, shows he calculated his moves well. Tyler Mark, I couldn't agree more.
