HP's Ethical IcebergRobert Faletra looks at the unfolding HP scandal and forsees a regulatory backlash against executives who couldn't find their moral compass. "The HP scandal may be top of mind right now, but there are a lot of other things going on. At some point, the politicians will see an opportunity to pounce on this purely for political reasons, and high tech will be faced with more and more regulatory issues as a result."
"Many in the media have long suspected tech titans of such snooping... Some reporters won't call key sources from known phone numbers or contact them at all at work. This was standard operating procedure for the very paranoid but now seems like plain ol' common sense. " Posted by Joe Caponi at 11:12 AM, October 2, 2006 This is a public forum.
