November 10, 2009
Analysis by: P.J. Louis, President,Sprint, Partners to Pump $1.5 Billion Into Clearwire | online.wsj.com
I am a supporter of Clearwire. I like the concept. However, a year ago I had expressed my doubts about Sprint Nextel and its Partners’ ability to find the cash in 2009 to build the network unless Clearwire could demonstrate it had a plan it could execute to.

Nokia – Getting Hammered By The Recession – Are It's Actions Correct?
November 10, 2009
Analysis by: P.J. Louis, President,UPDATE 4-Nokia Siemens to cut 5,800 jobs, save $1.5 bln | www.reuters.com
Last year, 2008, I had noted that the telecom manufacturers would get slammed and hammered by the recession. It is going to get worse before it gets better. Even if you assume that 2010 will be the end of the recession, the end will not result in instant sales of handsets. If anything there will be a consumer delay. People will be employed with new jobs, pay old bills, pay current bills, and then focus on the things like fancy new costly handsets.
