It ’s a non - executive place , but knowingthe stateof thebeleaguered company(I’ve always wanted to compose “ beleaguered ” ) and what he did at AT&T , he may work a large , razor - sharp axe with him .

Dorman took over as chief operating officer of AT&T from Mike Armstrong — who remained Chairman of the company . He then re - unionize AT&T into four divisions . One of them was AT&T Wireless , which became Cingular ( and lately , AT&T again . ) Another one was AT&T Broadband , which was later sold to Comcast ( his pal Armstrong left AT&T to become CEO of Comcast then . ) Given that story , it will be interesting to see what influence he has in the current survival race at Motorola .
