“This is a fascinating, informative biography of one of the pioneers in the cable TV industry. It's essential reading for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of cablecos, their competitive environment, their video and equipment supply chains, their regulatory environment, relevant technology trends, the industry's financial backers, and the movers and shakers in the industry.“

“Awesome book. The complex machinations of Malone's dealmaking is simply fascinating & inspiring. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good business story. Also, there is much to be learned from a financial engineering and M&A basis and there are a ton of ideas for entrepreneurs to use in their own businesses.“

“The book is a hit, period! …I believe Cable Cowboy is the most thorough chronicling of the rise of one of the most important media segments of our time… Brilliant and ruthless by turns, he is capture as more than just a cartoon, one-dimensional figure. In other words, the author has greatly distanced himself from the approach that most journalists have taken in reporting on Malone. Robichaux wrote a timeless book, and its enduring relevancy is borne out by Malone's continuing presence in today's business headlines. I'd recommend this book to any and all who appreciate (or should appreciate) the power of the media business.“

“This book provides an incredibly clear and well written insight into the early cable world. It's a world built by alliances and deals that still exist to this day. Cable Cowboy provides a great context into the cable world that we look at today. Net neutrality, media mergers, and cable deals can be better understood by those who read this book and understand the true underpinnings of the industry that it's all built on.“

“I never knew the story of cable, TCI, or John Malone and I started reading and couldnt put it down. John Malone is a fascinating character and the growth and turns of the cable industry are well travelled in this tale that is TCI Centric but gives you more then just that.”
