Sky Dayton, founder and chairman of the phantasmagorical Helio, has announced that he’s stepping down as CEO to become president of the last-man-standing MVNO. Dayton will be replacing Jinwoo So, president of global business at SK Telecom (which shares ownership of the company with Earthlink), and Dayton himself will be replaced by Wonhee Sull, formerly the company’s president and COO. “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. It’s possible that with the recent influx of cash (and increased ownership) from SK Telecom, and the dwindling marketshare of MVNOs, Sky’s taking the opportunity to get a little more control of his baby… and who can blame him?

It’s possible that with the recent influx of cash (and increased ownership) from from its Korean parents and the dwindling marketshare of MVNOs meant that SK felt it was time to step in and get things on track.
