Vodafone updates internet portal services with Vodafone 360 | www.telecompaper.com
The launch of Vodafone360 is the latest indicator of Peter Knook's influence on Vodafone since his joining from Microsoft 18 months ago. Vodafone Internet Services are now trying to present a consumer face for Vodafone that sees it capable of utilising investment in 3G and 3.5G Mobile Broadband.The interesting element is that this will be the first two handsets in Europe that use the LiMo standard. One from Samsung and one from Huawei.

Is Ericsson the Hope for Nortel's MEN? | www.lightreading.com
As Nortel disposes of its business units, gaining market share via acquisition will be an way for vendors in the optical space to give the top two players (Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent) ar run for the money. This article examines the potential suitors for the Nortel MEN unit and their likelihood to bid on these assets, in addition to key considerations for each vendor. The list includes Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Huawei, Infinera, Juniper, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and Tellabs.

Orange and even O2 may bid against Vodafone for T-Mobile UK | www.rethink-wireless.com
Whilst the UK has two more mobile networks than it needs the big three all know that they would be helping it's closest rivals in removing the two small players. If T-Mobile were to be sold to a rival the actions of the Regulator are not know at this time but some action is expected. The best case is that the new owner would be expected to return the 3G license and spectrum the worse is that both 2 & 3G spectrum is handed over. Has T-Mobile put the business up for sale? The present book value for the business is some €3B following the write down at the start of the year. Since that time T-Mobile has seen a decline in revenues in the UK and a loss of business caused by the fact that they have been working without a CEO or CMO and so have been following the German strategy. This has further lowered the value of the business.

Nortel selling wireless unit to Nokia Siemens | finance.yahoo.com
Wireless assets acquired by NSN from Nortel include the CDMA business and LTE IP (Intellectual Property). NSN gets relationships with operators such as Bell Mobility, VerizonWireless, Sprint Nextel, KDDI, China Telecom. CDMA is still profitable and will have a long tail. NSN also expands its footprint in North America, which represents only ~ 5% of its revenues and this acquisiton will certainly better position the company to tackle one of its Achilles heels. NSN gets Nortel's IP on LTE including SON (Self-Organizing Networks) and ongoing LTE relationships (NT had won KDDI tender and was carrying out a trial at T-Mobile AG); 400/2,500 employees that NSN is getting from Nortel were working on LTE, other 2,100 on CDMA. Who will fill in the void in terms of R&D spend in Canada? NSN will open up a lab and there are rumors that Huawei will expand its presence, but look for more from other entrepreneurs such as Sir Terry Matthews. It will be tough to match Nortel's R&D budget.
