Good summary. I thought it was generally excellent. My only criticism was that Barber's occasionally wrote in a way that made it seem like he was being paid by the word.
I can't give the quote verbatim, but at one point he talks about a meeting Masa has in a Californian town. Instead of just saying he had a meeting with X, he says it was at a particular hotel, in a particular town, the hotel sits in the shadows of certain mountains and has been there for so many years and has a bunch of famous people over the years as guests. Utterly irrelevant
I was thinking, get to the point Lionel.
But as I say, generally very good and interesting. Certainly didn't make me want to invest in Softbank!

Same here. Made my to stay away from the Softbank shares as far as possible ;-)
