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.

November 19, 2009
Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics
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.

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...

Samuel Greenholtz, Principal, Telecom Pragmatics
Infinera Named Second Fastest-Growing Tech Company in North America | money.cnn.com
Infinera’s statements continue to make it very easy to hit them out of the park. It would be much better off if it was really forthcoming about its business. While there are some executives that have appeared to have been truly kept in the dark on the company’s execution, it is the high-level people...
