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

November 20, 2009

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.

The Fair Value Debate - The Political Imperative - A Exercise in Futility?

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.

Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics

West Virginia protests Frontier's Verizon acquisition | www.fiercetelecom.com

The gloves are coming off one final time between Verizon and West Virginia.  The state is probably going to be so relieved to get Verizon out that it will likely play ball with Frontier.  It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that the relationship over the years between the two parties has been...

Hardball 11/17/09: AT&T's Version of Keystone Cops

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...
