Brief overview:
1) David Pogue wrote a critique of the American cell phone industry – State of the Art: The Irksome Cellphone Industry.
2) The CEO of Verizon wrote a letter to the publisher of the New York Times.
3) Pogue published the letter today, in a blog post called “The Cell Phone Industry Strikes Back”, but it has mysteriously disappeared from the New York Times website. I assume under legal threat from Verizon.
Link (non-functioning) for the disappeared piece.
I found the text of the disappeared letter on this blog:Intomobile – “Verizon Wireless CEO responds to David Pogue’s article on the American mobile industry”.
