Helio's Sky Dayton steps down as CEO
Sky Dayton, founder and chairman of the phantasmagorical Helio, has announced that he's stepping down as CEO to become chairman of the board of the last-man-standing MVNO. Helio's new CEO will be Wonhee Sull, formerly the company's president and COO, and obviously a direct conduit to co-owner SK Telecom. "Helio has reached a point in its development where I feel the timing is right for this change... As we have for the past three years, the two of us will continue to define Helio's direction and future," said Dayton. Whether Sky's really ready to move on or not we'll never know, but it's certainly possible that the recent influx of cash (and increased ownership) from from its Korean parents and dwindling marketshare of US MVNOs led SK to step in and get things on track.

I have Helio and LOVE my service, coverage, and data connectivity. I am VERY happy Earthlink is relinquishing as much control as they have had. I hope SK brings in their world class customer service practices, their opened Movie, Music, and TV network over the data connection, as well as some revolutionary CDMA phones that make some of the Smart GSM phones look like toys.
Im even more happy that its not predominantly Scientologist (call me a hater and prejudice, my dad is a Scientologist), but those people FREAK ME OUT!

would getting the company "on track" include offering one year contracts (instead of two) and closing the call center staffed by 14 year old girls?
