Its not as easy as it looks
Analysis of: NBC launching 24/7 local news channel | www.rbr.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
This is a risky venture with limited upside. This was proven with the expensive demise of a similar venture in Orange county Calif. The basis for success is emphasis on sales rather than programming.

Yahoo's Pain is Micosoft's (and of course Google's) Gain
Analysis of: Yahoo under pressure after deal collapse | www.ft.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting
Sure, Google gets the best out of the deal with a weakened Yahoo and a non-strengthened Microsoft, but I'm not sure if this deal would have been good for Microsoft anyway.  They showed a lack of brutish eagerness that has hurt Yahoo, near fatally, and that hurt could help Microsoft climb up the...

What a Mess! Deutsche Telekom ponders Sprint Nextel and a Wireless Wasteland
Analysis of: Deutsche Telekom May Bid for Sprint Nextel | online.wsj.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting
Buyers beware is an understatement with Sprint Nextel.  They have so many gashes in their underbelly that I have difficulty seeing how they could be a worthwhile acquisition, unless the price drops much further.  T-Mobile is not in a powerful position in the market, and combining the two seems...

Employees posting full profiles at work certainly poses dangers to employees, should they be arrogantly drawn and rudely sketched. But this and other elements of the Social Web allow for benefits to both employee and employer.  More importantly, this two-way conversation is inevitable, so it is...

WiMax Winners (Google) and Losers (Sprint, Comcast, Time Warner)
Analysis of: Sprint joins with Clearwire, Google, Comcast, Intel and others to create new $14.5 billion WiMax company | sprintconnection.kansascity.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting
In the short-term, Sprint has salvaged their WiMax opportunity, but a quick look back shows you how much they have really lost.  On the other hand, sly Google had another ace up its sleeve, and their wireless strategy is becoming clearer by the day.
