“Our success in protecting competition in the long distance business has, in large measure, been our ability to explain its benefits to Congress and the FCC. For this we have you to thank. Working for seven companies and two trade associations could never be described as a dream job, but you learned our lingo, organizations, terminology, political ins and outs, and kept our eye squarely on the ball. We needed a program and a leader SDI produced the program and you were the leader who kept it all together.”
