Dieses Buch blickt hinter die Kulissen der Telekombranche.
Hier lesen Sie alles, worüber die Medien nicht berichten - über die Hauptakteure, die in Boomzeiten den Reibach gemacht haben, über die Experten, die sich einen Namen gemacht und ihn wieder verloren haben, über die Unternehmer, die jetzt hart kämpfen, um ihrem Leben wieder einen Sinn zu geben....
"Broadbandits" betrachtet die Telekom-Spekulationsblase aus der Sicht eines Insiders.
Mit einer Fülle von Geschichten und Anekdoten über eigenwillige Alleingänger, die einfache Licht- und Glasfaserkabel in regelrechte Goldadern verwandelten, über Finanziers, die zu gierig wurden und Millionen Ahnungsloser schröpften, über unbedarfte Risikokapitalgeber, die glaubten, dass sie die Hauptader angezapft hätten, über glücklose Unternehmer, die überzeugt waren, dass sie im Begriff waren, die Welt zu verändern und über selbsternannte Experten, die das Geschehen aus dem Hintergrund anfeuerten.
Das Buch stellt eine schillernde Besetzung vor - angefangen beim Sohn eines ehemaligen Kneipenwirts von Brooklyn bis hin zum Nachfahre einer blaublütigen Yankeefamilie - und erzählt, wie sie alle von diesem neuen Goldrausch erfasst und mitgerissen wurden.
Hier lesen Sie die Insiderstory, warum viele Startups und auch alt eingesessene Telekomunternehmen dem sog. "high yield heroin", der Droge des großen Gewinns, zum Opfer gefallen sind.
"Broadbandits" ist das maßgebliche Buch über die Finanztricks und Machtkämpfe, die die Telekombranche schließlich zu Fall gebracht haben.
Die wohl faszinierendste und spannendste Geschichte über den Untergang der Telekom-Riesen, über Intrigen und Habgier.

Praise for Broadbandits
"Broadbandits weaves together a story of greed, money, power, and crime to reveal to the millions of people who lost their investments in telecom stock where, and to whom, their hard-earned dollars went."
?Charles Dubow, Executive Editor, Forbes.com
"Om Malik has the courage to write that instead of reporting EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), the CEOs he calls broadbandits reported their own style of EBITDA (Earnings Before Irregularities, Tampering, and Dubious Accounting). His pen is as wicked as Mark Twain's."
?Blaise Zerega, Managing Editor, Wired magazine
"Rare for a book in its field, Broadbandits is an attractive, stodge-free read. Accessible, even mischievous, it should prove instructive not merely to geeks, (disgruntled) venture capitalists, and bankrupt telecom tycoons, but also to that species most neglected of all?the lay reader."
?Tunku Varadarajan, Editorial Features Editor, The Wall Street Journal
"Broadbandits is a fast-paced tale of the key players responsible for inflating the telecom bubble. Many were fools, many others rogues, some managed to escape with riches, some were ruined. With an unforgettable cast, Broadbandits is a sobering account of monumental financial waste and the derailment of hundreds of thousands of lives."
?Andrew Odlyzko, Director, Digital Technology Center and Assistant Vice President for Research, University of Minnesota
