They listen to the stockholders?

The problem with turning phone and cable companies from public utilities to unregulated de facto monopolies is that now they really don't have to listen to anyone but their own stockholders.

Company policies are set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Just about all policies are the direct result of the criteria used in determining executive bonuses paid.


These measures become the priorities, and all accepted methods of manipulating the designated numbers in the necessary direction are followed.

Therefore, when the Compensation Committee makes its determinations, the members are setting the course for the company for the foreseeable future.

Most companies are run by part-timers.
