07/14/2005: "Spokane's Hot Zone provider melts down"

This just in:

OneEighty Networks, the network provider for the Spokane Hot Zone, has just experienced complete melt down.

180's principal owner, Greg Green, (who runs around with a morphine pump implanted under his skin), has apparently driven the company to financial ruin, despite its low expenses and large customer base. I'm told that all of the top management, including Chad Skidmore, the brains of the network and the overall operation, have deserted.

Chad is pictured on the left and Greg on the right at http://www.go180.net/

OneEighty's Spokane operation is down from 12 employees to four and it is not clear to me how they are going to continue their current level of service. In my view, OneEighty Networks is either now on the chopping block, or soon will be, having already sold all of its Oregon operations and customers.
