Tom Moore Steps Down as CEO of Wildblue Communications

In a surprising move today, Tom Moore stepped down as the CEO of Wildblue Communications. The rollout of Wildblue has been very slow and many have said a bit too bumpy. There are only about 5-6,000 customers on the books since the first customer was brought on board in early June.
Here is what Tom Moore had to say: "My contribution has always been in formulating ambitious dreams and starting things from scratch...WildBlue now needs a world-class operating CEO to drive the company to the next level of success."

Here is what Bob Phillips, President of the NRTC (big investor in Wildblue) had to say: "I interviewed and voted for David Leonard for the position of chief executive officer. Leonard’s forte is business operations, and I am confident that he will provide the focus necessary for successful operation of the company."

Here's what I have to say: "The boys at Liberty Media (Another big investor in Wildblue) and the NRTC got together and decided the Wildblue Internet rollout was chaotic at best and a near disaster at worst. They wanted to try to stop Direcway from cleaning their clock with the DW 7000 and knew a change needed to be made quickly to get the momentum going again. David Leonard was a top executive of Liberty Media.

Stay tuned.....it's getting more interesting each week!
