A new book about how one man took on the AT&T monopoly to build a highway for computers. Later he and his brother sold their Sterling Software and Sterling Commerce businesses for $8 billion (yes, billion).

That man - Sam Wyly, a LA Tech graduate.

Of course I had heard of Charles and Sam Wyly but after seeing the ad for Sam's new book in the WSJ I googled them - it is amazing all they have achieved.
