Reading List of Interesting Businesses

A reading list of companies with ties to broadband.

	Big Blues: The Unmaking of IBM By: Paul Carroll My Take: Everything you wanted to know about how the personal computer came into being. IBM was so large it had to make not one but several colossal blunders to go down. The stories of the missed opportunities as well as the rising stars within the company are fascinating.

	Netscape Time: The Making of the Billion-Dollar Startup that Took on Microsoft By: Jim Clark & Owen Edwards My Take: An amazing chain of events navigated by Jim Clark to recognize the opportunity, find unbelievable talent, fight a university, go public, and then hang tough with the giant! It gives you some perspective on the kind of idea, persistence, talent, and luck you need to make a startup successful.
