Hardball 11/20/09/13:00 GMT: NSN Likely for NT’s Optical Assets– Infinera Entry?

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.

November 19, 2009
Nitish Grover, FCA, AICPA Intl Associate, Principal, Owner, Nitish Grover and Associates
Accounting Rules:Divided and Overruled | www.economist.com
Fair value has been in the news for sometime. Also banks are now complaining and so are regulators and politicians.

November 17, 2009
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. AT&T apparently even has trouble settling on a unified public relations/marketing response. The service provider just did not want the world to know about the disparity in 3G coverage...
