‘The Apple Way’ for public facing employees isn’t just for press
From The San Francisco Examiner:
“It was very underwhelming,†[San Francisco DA George Gascón] said about the hourlong talk with Apple’s government liaison, Michael Foulkes. “He did most of the talking. It was incredible. He would just go on and on, one subject to the next. It was hard to follow. It was almost like someone who’s been trained in the art of doing a lot of talking and saying nothing.â€
As an aside, this issue about kill-switches on mobile phones in the US, do American networks not have a master list of IMEI numbers that are blocked, in the same way as the UK networks manage to do?
I liken that to the movie ‘Frost/Nixon’ – where he’s trained specifically to talk endlessly just to run the clock down.
As an aside, no, the U.S. carriers don’t maintain such a list. I believe Sprint started to, but no one really cares on this side of the pond.
