Like Sprint Nextel’s voluntary separation program, AT&T and Verizon might face job reductions for mobile services in realizing Nokia’s assessment of reduced consumer spending.
Nokia talking about responding to the market conditions has the implications of more focused selling, cost cutting, and a trimmer product portfolio.
Sprint Nextel’s voluntary separation could reduce eventual layoff expenses, but could adversely affect the talent resource management for future projects in emerging technology.
Despite reporting that the iPhone brought high value customers of 160% ARPU, AT&T is still focusing on basic mobile communications with four new messaging handsets priced under $100.
The scenario of South Lake Tahoe, AT&T and Charter is an example of the major US telcos directing their CAPEX for copper upgrades and fiber to the markets of highest ROI and competition.
