Lumen is living proof that you don't need to have common sense or intelligence to be in a member of the SLT.

Maxine sent an email saying it was starting soon. 12/8 is the exit date, but the few minor unknowns are who, where, & what's offered

I did not get the impression that SLT actually read Christensen's 1997 best seller "Innovator's Dilemma " where the term "disruptive technology" was coined. If they had, they might have spelled out how they would make Lumen "cheaper, simpler... — read more
