He’s been with the company so long, he witnessed the 1982 breakup of “ma bell” and watched as the telecom giant slowly but surely reconstituted itself. He even still has a Pacific Bell email address—despite the brand being discontinued in 2002. > This week, frustrated by AT&T’s longstanding failure to upgrade his sluggish DSL line, Epstein took out a quarter-page ad in the Wall Street Journal—just to give AT&T CEO John Stankey a piece of his mind.
