Peter Black was originally the Networks Director, then he became CTO. He was the ultimate empire builder and expanded the Networks division into a bloated behemoth about 7 times the size it is now. It was unworkable and as soon as Wood left and Carter came in he was gone.

Leigh Bennet took over on a temporary basis and the current Networks Director is Steve Upton.

I also met Tom de la Rocco in '94. He was a big guy and was into the construction side of things but he went back to the states very soon after.

the original Cabletel yank clique of Barclay, Leigh Wood, Tom and Alfredo and Dinni Jain.

There was also another guy who once tried motivate us by quoting Yoda from Empire Strikes Back. - Weird.

I have no axe to grind with any of them, they're just part of the companies history.
