- Charles Garrett "Garry" Betty was President and CEO of EarthLink, a large American Internet service provider, from 1996 until his death. Betty was born in Huntsville, Alabama and grew up in Columbus, Georgia. He attended the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia where he received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1979. After that he worked for IBM, and received the IBM President's award in 1982 for his work on the original IBM PC. Betty subsequently became president and CEO of Digital Communications Associates and for some time he was the New York Stock Exchange's youngest listed CEO. Betty also received Young Alumnus of the Year honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993 and was inducted into the Georgia Technology Hall of Fame in 2005. EarthLink reported in a press release on 21 November 2006 (also reported by major news agencies like the Wall Street Journal) that Betty had been diagnosed with a serious form of cancer which required him to take an undetermined leave of absence. The company announced that the Board of Directors named Mike Lunsford, Vice-President of Voice and Access, as interim CEO. EarthLink announced on 3 January 2007 that Betty had died at the age of 49 from complications of adrenal cortical cancer. Prior to his death, Betty set up The Garry Betty Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research into the genetic mutations that may lead to cancer.
- Charles "Garry" Betty az Earthlink, egy nagy amerikai internetszolgáltató elnök-vezérigazgatója volt. 1979-ben alapfokú vegyészmérnöki diplomát szerzett a Georgia Institute of Technologyn. Ezután az IBM-nél dolgozott, és 1982-ben az IBM PC kifejlesztésében elért eredményeiért elnöki kitüntetésben részesült. Mielőtt 1996-ban az EarthLink-hez csatlakozott, Betty az adatkommunikációra specializálódott Digital Communications Associates (DCA) vezérigazgatója volt, és abban az időben ő volt a legfiatalabb, a New York-i Értéktőzsdén jegyzett vállalatok vezérei közül. A gyors változások folyama arra késztette az EarthLinket, hogy a szélessávú szolgáltatás egy új csatornáját találják meg. Betty azt ajánlotta, hogy az ország legnagyobb városaiban az egész városra kiterjedő Wi-Fi szolgáltatást építsenek ki. Többek között San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans és a kaliforniai Anaheim szerepelt a tervek között. 2006-ban ezekből több is megvalósult. Bettynél veserákot diagnosztizáltak, s 2006 novemberében bejelentették, hogy orvosi tanácsra abba kell hagynia addigi munkáját. A poszton Michael Lunsford követte. „Garry” Bettyt 1993-ban az Év Hallgatója címre jelölték, s 2005-ben felkerült iskolájának dicsőséglistájára.
