I had a chat to a wicked chap was doing a piece for the Financial Times the other week. So I was looking today to see if there was any reference in the FT.com online today. Not yet, however, I came across this piece that I didn’t see from way back in March.

The site went on to suggest that Sarin was “supervising over a period of abject failure for Vodafone – ‘failure’ in the context of making billions and still being one of the biggest mobile companies in the world.”
