Hardball 11/21/09: Calix’s IPO in Order to Buy Cyan?
November 21, 2009
Analysis by: Samuel Greenholtz, Principal,Calix Files IPO. Will Cyan Be Mike Hatfield's Next Big Hit? | www.businessweek.com
In a 2005 BusinessWeek article, Calix’ CEO was quoted as saying: "The only thing that would cause me to go public is if we wanted to go do an acquisition. I don't know why else I'd do it." It was clear to us earlier this year that he had evidently not changed his stance in justifying an IPO.

Hardball 11/19/09: Kiss of Death for Clearwire?
November 19, 2009
Analysis by: Samuel Greenholtz, Principal,Clearwire: 'Google Believes in Us' | www.unstrung.com
Google’s lack of investment in the last round speaks volumes. As we have said in the past, no company does as much agonizing cost analysis as the search engine provider. We still believe that if Clearwire does survive, it will be with a far less ambitious, targeted metro approach.

Network and Tower Operations Center (NTOC) – An Optimizer for Network Opex
November 19, 2009
The Operations of Telecom Networks and Data Centers Need a Paradigm Shift to Become Green, Reduce Global Warming and Optimize Total Cost of Operations (TCO) | councils.glgroup.com
Telecom network operations are most opex intensive. Some innovative steps taken to optimize these costs are to share network infrastructure between multiple operators and managed services of network operations. However, with the emergence of tower companies who create and maintain the passive infrastructure in which even active network elements reside, there is a possibility of achieving greater synergy for the NOC and field operations thereby further reducing the costs.

Hardball 11/18/09: One Last Kick in Pants from WV to VZ Before Parting
November 18, 2009
Analysis by: Samuel Greenholtz, Principal,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 acrimonious.
