Rafat,
Great Interview. I get Peter Adderton’s challenges. Its a good road map for anyone   that is in this new media space. Is small better? Very telling. Are big ideas out sized by infrastructure?

Why didn’t you ask him anything about the former Amp’d customers?

More specifically, like where they should go (other than Prexar now)?
Also, was wasn’t the Motorola E816 issue resolved earlier?

What happened to Britt Hume’s incisive and scathing comments on the Adderton interview?  Adderton’s a snake and he conned you guys royally…to the point that you have to practice censorship on your blog!  Bring back Britt Hume—at least he calls a snake a snake…

If you want to get personal, get your own soapbox and do it…we’ll keep thing relatively meaningful here.

Point taken, no harm no foul.  I shall swear off any further gratuitous ad hominem criticisms of individuals but please, Mr. Game Warden, I am not a disgruntled former Adderton employee nor do I have an axe to grind with Amp’d.  I just demand accountability and honesty from business leaders—just like Wall Street does.  Will anyone be fired for their investment decision in this clean-up in aisle 3?  I doubt it, but questions need to be asked.

Some other real questions that would have been worth asking:
Why were rebates RARELY received?
Why do people have to pay their finals bills through August for no service?
Even if Adderton didn’t know the answers, I’m sure you could have found the person at Amp’d who does (if you can contact Adderton).

What about the Billing till 8/16 or asking why people are still being billed after proting their numbers and cancelling service.  what about the threats of affecting peoples credit if they do not pay the bills that they are billing for when they stopped providing service or you took your number to another carrier.

he still is flying his helicopter while the average folk that subscribed to Ampd are going to reap the ill affects of being threatened with having their credit ratings tarnished if they do not pay bills that are not correct.

And how is the high credit rating customers not being billed anyones fault but ampd mobiles?

I wrote a review on my own personal Amp’d mobile experience a year and a half ago while working for Organic. It’s amazing that the review’s thread still has people commenting - all of which are visceral in nature.

My personal take from the first time I stepped into the world of telecom services, is that if you peel away all the telco layers, at the end of the day, they’re fancy billing companies. If their billing infrastructure isn’t up to snuff linear to their CRM infrastructure, then the carrier is going to crash and burn. No MVNO is as great a poster child than Amp’d for how things can go wrong if you can’t bill and collect correctly.

I got a phone call yesterday from Amp’d threatening my credit if I will not pay for SERVICE till mid August. I always paid my bill on time and disconnected my service on July 24 after they sent a text that service might be interrupted. Now, how the hell can these bastards force to pay for services they never provides. This is the ripoff of the century. Is there something that I can do about this.

I bought an Amp’d phone and submitted my rebate with ALL of the required materials. I practically sent the entire box with my submission. Instead of getting my $100 rebate, Amp’d returned to me a postcard falsely accusing me of not including a UPC. When they went under, I lost the $60+ dollars I had on my account.

Amp’d STOLE my money.

We tried to do a JV with Amp’ed in the fall on 2006 but found it very hard to get any movement on their side.  I even met Peter briefly at CES Jan. ‘07, but by then I think they were struggling.

I really think a User Generated Content initiative (which is what we do) would have helped AMP’d greatly.

In addition, look what our games have done in the iPhone world.

Good luck in the next venture.

Peter
Why were you so dishonest with your distributers? I lost everything because i beleived in you and your cronies who lied to me. I was number 11 on your list of the top 20 people to be screwed by ampd. But in the end i should never have listened to a blowhard idiot like you. you didnt know what you were doing and you still dont…
