Cable Cowboy, first published in 2002, tells the story of John Malone's early and unpredictable rise to become the leader of the cable-TV industry. Born in a small town in Connecticut, he climbed his way through Yale, the legendary Bell Labs, McKinsey & Co., then befriended a deep-in-debt cowboy who would become his best friend and business partner. Told in a lively style with exclusive details, the story shows how an unassuming strand of copper coaxial cable wire started as a backwoods antenna service and became the digital nervous system of the U.S., an evolution that gave U.S. consumers television, telephone and the fastest route to the Internet.
