Hardball 11/20/09/13:00 GMT: NSN Likely for NT’s Optical Assets– Infinera Entry?

November 20, 2009

Analysis by:Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics

Analysis of: One at a time, please: Nortel delays one auction because of another | localtechwire.com

Nokia Siemens Networks desperately needs to establish a sizable public network presence in North America. Even if Ericsson places a bid, NSN appears to be the favorite to get Nortel’s optical assets. There has been speculation about Infinera entering the fray.

Hardball 11/19/09: Kiss of Death for Clearwire?

November 19, 2009

Analysis by:Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics

Analysis of: Clearwire: 'Google Believes in Us' | www.unstrung.com

Google’s lack of investment in the last round speaks volumes. As we have said in the past, no company does as much agonizing cost analysis as the search engine provider. We still believe that if Clearwire does survive, it will be with a far less ambitious, targeted metro approach.

Hardball 11/18/09: One Last Kick in Pants from WV to VZ Before Parting

November 18, 2009

Analysis by:Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics

Analysis of: West Virginia protests Frontier's Verizon acquisition | www.fiercetelecom.com

It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that the relationship over the years between the two parties has been...

Hardball 11/17/09: AT&T's Version of Keystone Cops

November 17, 2009

Analysis by:Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics

Analysis of: AT&T Rebuts Verizon Ads, Again | blogs.wsj.com

Nothing illustrates more the state of disarray at AT&T than this bungled attempt to dispute Verizon Wireless’ claims. AT&T apparently even has trouble settling on a unified public relations/marketing response. The service provider just did not want the world to know about the disparity in 3G coverage...

What the wireless carriers can learn from small business

November 16, 2009

Analysis by:GLG Expert Contributor

Analysis of: It can't hurt to ask for a rent reduction | realestate.msn.com

Nearly two-thirds of apartment landlords have had their tenants ask to have their rents reduced, and half of them granted the request. Wireless carriers are the best tenants building owners have. They pay much higher per square foot rates, always pay on time, and clean up after themselves. Yet some...
