Sprint Nextel and Partners – Is Pumping Another $1.5B into Clearwire Wise?
November 10, 2009
Sprint, Partners to Pump $1.5 Billion Into Clearwire | online.wsj.com
I am a supporter of Clearwire. I like the concept. However, a year ago I had expressed my doubts about Sprint Nextel and its Partners’ ability to find the cash in 2009 to build the network unless Clearwire could demonstrate it had a plan it could execute to.

Nokia – Getting Hammered By The Recession – Are It's Actions Correct?
November 10, 2009
UPDATE 4-Nokia Siemens to cut 5,800 jobs, save $1.5 bln | www.reuters.com
Last year, 2008, I had noted that the telecom manufacturers would get slammed and hammered by the recession. It is going to get worse before it gets better. Even if you assume that 2010 will be the end of the recession, the end will not result in instant sales of handsets. If anything there will be a consumer delay. People will be employed with new jobs, pay old bills, pay current bills, and then focus on the things like fancy new costly handsets.

Windstream Buys Another Rural Carrier | online.wsj.com
I give Windstream’s recent rollup efforts a thumbs up. The company is currently performing its own version of a rural telecom carrier consolidation. Up until recently, Windstream had purchased Lexcom and D&E Communications. Now it has just agreed to buy NuVox.
