AT&T/ Cingular will host a smallbusiness conference in Fayetteville in late July. The midday conference includes lunch, and the invitation says, “You and a guest are invited to a special event exclusively for Small Business to show you the latest wireless solutions on our Blackberry, Palm, and HTC devices.”
(Bear with me. The punch line’s coming. I promise.)
The invitation adds “Come see the latest solutions in action and learn more about how we can help grow your business!”
Attendees will learn how to “benefit from our broad range of scalable solutions for voice, e-mail and mobile Internet access.”
The featured guest speaker? University of Arkansas at Fayetteville head football coach Houston Nutt.
Yes. The same Houston Nutt who made a lot of unwanted headlines after sending Donna Bragg (a news anchor in Fort Smith) a whopping 1,063 text messages in a period of less than two months — between Nov. 30 of last year and Jan. 11 of this year.
The irony of it all astounds ....
