The downward spiral of Rolm definitely began with IBM. Computer geeks at IBM thought they knew more about how telephones worked than the actual Rolm engineers did.

This appears to be what has led to today's downward spiral of the industry as a whole. Far too many decision makers have fallen for the "just call Albert the IT guy. He can figure it out". And here we are today, standing with our hands out while a 140+ year-old industry was swept right out from under us. It's quite sad when you think about it.
