T-Mobile's John Legere: The most dangerous man in wireless
John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile, had the room with his first F-bomb.
The event was last January's Consumer Electronics Show, and scores of reporters, bloggers, and photographers had come to hear what Legere had to say in one of his first public appearances since his appointment as CEO in September. Expectations weren't high. The audience, gathered in the typical Las Vegas convention center room showered in pink lights, had expected to hear the same "challenger" strategy that his predecessor had put forth the year before.
Instead, Legere (pronounced like "ledger") delivered a profanity-laden talk that seemed more fitting for a comedy club than a corporate press event. He called AT&T's network in New York City "crap" and quipped that capped data plans put a crimp on watching porn on phones.
