GLG NewsSMAnalyses by this Study Group's Experts(?)
AT&T first terminating DirecTV and now Dish might not be intended to drop satellite-television from bundled marketing, but instead to adopt mutual-selling roles in the relationship.
Verizon Wireless’s announced agreement with Brightpoint to support handsets for indirect retail channels appears to be an attempt to separate company-owned direct distribution.
Virgin Mobile USA’s acquisition of Helio is favorable for platform efficiencies, handset inventories and cash infusion, but the saturated teen market trends are questionable for retention and growth.
The strong initial sales of the $130 Samsung Instinct indicate that Sprint Nextel can thwart churn with handset upgrades and that there could be a price war of smartphones and unlimited data.
Different from healthcare dictation and call center IVRs, Nuance faces the challenge of the fragmented mobile market of device manufacturers, mobile carriers and application developers.
