Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics
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.

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.

Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics
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.
