LTE is going to win WiMax | 06-20-2008
Analysis of: Nortel, Alvarion in wireless pact | biz.yahoo.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

LTE is going to win WiMax because LTE is a part of the 3GPP. WiMax is mainly supported by Intel that has never been successful in the wireless industry. Practically, I don’t see a mobile user, with 2 or 4 or even 4 inch screen, using more than 10Mbps on his device. Given that most of the fancy devices...

What a Mess! Deutsche Telekom ponders Sprint Nextel and a Wireless Wasteland | 05-12-2008
Analysis of: Deutsche Telekom May Bid for Sprint Nextel | online.wsj.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, CEO & Founder, Cosmebar

Buyers beware is an understatement with Sprint Nextel.  They have so many gashes in their underbelly that I have difficulty seeing how they could be a worthwhile acquisition, unless the price drops much further.  T-Mobile is not in a powerful position in the market, and combining the two seems...

Yahoo's Glue is a Good Move, but the User Experience will Determine Success | 05-12-2008
Analysis of: Yahoo! India launches Glue Pages Beta | www.business-standard.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, CEO & Founder, Cosmebar

Yahoo's move into Yahoo Glue is a smart concession in the basic textual search world and a desire to innovate the search experience.  Good for them.  But this is a complicated delivery in a world dominated by simple user experiences, and that is what Yahoo must concentrate on in order to succeed....
