Former AltaVista UK Head Claims He Was A Scapegoat
from the sure-you-were dept
The former head of AltaVista UK who lead the launch of their unmetered service that never actually launched is now claiming that he was a scapegoat. It wasn't really his fault. He was just in charge. TheRegister takes a look at some more details of the scam. If you're the guy in charge it's really tough to claim that you're a scapegoat... You certainly can be a completely incompetent leader who has no idea what's going on, or a lying bastard who hides what's really going on, but I don't see how you can be a scapegoat.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
