		<description><![CDATA[Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) declared weak financial results for the first quarter of 2012, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimates. In the previous quarter, the company’s customer churn rate was 3.3% compared with 3.1% in the prior-year quarter. Even worse is management&#8217;s prediction that the second quarter churn rate will be much higher at 4.2% (at par with the second quarter of 2011). The major concern for Leap Wireless is the growing competition in the U.S. low-cost prepaid wireless phone market. Traditionally, the company competes with MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS), Boost Mobile, the prepaid subsidiary of Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), and Tracfone, the prepaid subsidiary of America Movil S.A.B. (AMX). Recently, the two largest nationwide carriers, Verizon Wireless and AT&#38;T Inc. (T) entered the wireless prepaid phone market after the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS) – one of the lowest cost wireless service providers in the U.S. – has announced price raises for its unlimited plan. Subscribers will now have to pay $70.00 per month instead of $60.00 for its unlimited 4G LTE data plan. Further, the carrier has also announced bandwidth throttling to three of its 4G LTE plans and slowed down speed to the 3G level after the usage of 250MB, 2.5GB or 5GB depending upon the plan in order to manage network traffic and reduce bandwidth congestion. Given the massive demand for wireless data services, MetroPCS is practicing bandwidth throttling like many other carriers. In February, AT&#38;T Inc. (T) came up with similar policies as it was falling short of bandwidth. For an unlimited plan, the company axed ]]></description>

This takes the company’s total customer base to 205.97 million. The company’s GSM subscriber base rose to 160.073 million with the net addition of 0.250 million customers, while its 3G subscriber base increased to 45.894 million with the net addition of 2.83 million in January. China Unicom added more 3G subscribers in February compared to 2.05 million last month. The company’s 3G business is performing well and the momentum is expected to continue well into the future. 3G remains a compelling opportunity and represents the single biggest driver of the company’s long-term growth.

		<description><![CDATA[Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) posted mixed financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011. Though EPS managed to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates, revenue significantly fell below it. During 2011, Leap wireless restructured its business model through which it is emphasizing on the high ARPU generating smartphone customers, while shedding less profitable wireless broadband subscribers as these users generally place huge load on its network. Management is hopeful regarding its business strategy for future subscriber growth. Nevertheless, precipitous economic volatility in the U.S. is a major concern since the company is primarily dependent on the low-income customers, who are very much susceptible to economic downtrend. Meanwhile, competition in the low-end prepaid wireless services market has become intensely competitive. We therefore reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

(S) plans to raise $2 billion in debt offering to address the growing costs of network upgrade, iPhone subsidies, debt maturities and a possible funding for its partner Clearwire Corporation (CLWR). With a 54% economic stake in Clearwire, Sprint offers high-speed data to its subscribers through the latter’s 4G WiMax (a wireless broadband technology) networks. Sprint will sell notes due in 2017 and 2020 through a private placement, expected to completed by March 1. This sale of notes is in addition to the $4 billion raised in November last year.

Major operators are entering into M2M services as their voice and data service markets reach a saturation point. M2M refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wireline systems to communicate with other devices of the same capacity. In this regard, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) cut a deal with France Telecom’s (FTE) Orange Business Services to offer machine-to-machine (M2M) data services outside the U.S. Along with Sprint’s current domestic and global M2M services, the latest M2M service is expected to reach 180 countries in sectors such as automotive telematics, smart grid and metering, healthcare, ]]></description>

NII Holdings reported dismal financial results for the third quarter of 2011. Both the top line and bottom line were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Management has slashed its fiscal 2011 financial outlook, mainly driven by the volatile macro-economic condition coupled with significant depreciation of several Latin American currencies in comparison with U.S. dollars. Moreover, stiff competitive scenarios in Latin American markets are other impediments for such a reduced outlook. We believe intensifying competition and increased promotional expenses may reduce the company&#8217;s near-term growth opportunities. We do not find any immediate catalysts and expect NII Holdings to report weak financial results for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) entered a new network-sharing deal with Clearwire Corporation (CLWR). The new deal, worth $1.6 billion, is an extension of the existing one that was to expire by the end of next year. Sprint buys WiMax wireless capacity from Clearwire and then resells services to its own customers. As per the terms of the new deal, Sprint, which owns a hefty 54% stake in Clearwire, would pay $926 million to use the unlimited WiMax network of the latter for its 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) services over the next two years (i.e. 2012 and 2013). The third-largest U.S. wireless carrier would also make prepayments of $350 million for LTE capacity, provided Clearwire meets certain build-out targets by June 2013. Moreover, Sprint would provide additional funding of $347 million, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The third-largest U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) deployed its first multi-mode base station in Branchburg, New Jersey. This marks a milestone move in the company’s Network Vision strategy, which serves as a major catalyst in its growth plan. Under the Network Vision strategy announced last year, Sprint will consolidate multiple incompatible networks (CDMA and iDEN) into one platform, supporting multiple technologies (3G and 4G) and spectrum bands (800 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 1.6 GHz and 2.5 GHz). The company expects the full Network Vision deployment to be over by year-end 2013. Moreover, Sprint Nextel would terminate its iDEN network in mid-2013. Further, the company is replacing its iDEN network on CDMA-based phones with a new version of Nextel&#8217;s &#8220;push-to-talk&#8221; feature from Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). The Sprint Direct Connect push-to-talk ]]></description>

The company will now charge $50 a month for 6 gigabytes (GB) compared to its previous offer (launched in November 1) of $60 a month for 5 GB. The discounted offer does not cover smartphone users but counts data downloads on tablets, mobile hotspots and laptops. The strategic decision to cut wireless data prices will help Sprint garner market traction as well as compete head to head with market Czars like AT&#38;T (T) and Verizon (VZ) as both offer $50 per month for 5 GB.  Additionally, Sprint&#8217;s new offer is aimed at wooing more customers and driving revenues during the peek holiday season.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) to Underperform, primarily due to the complexity in Indian operations and tough conditions across Southern European markets. Fiscal 2011 earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but improved year over year on the back of higher revenues and the ongoing share repurchase plan. Vodafone continues to face declines in service revenue and subscriber count, particularly in Southern Europe, due to weakness in the economy, regulatory pressure and stiff competition. Aggressive price competition in India and reductions in mobile termination rates would limit the upside potential of the stock. Hence, we rate the stock Underperform with the price target of $26, based on 10.4x our fiscal 2012 EPADS estimate.

China&#8217;s second largest mobile operator’s 3G business is performing well and reached 27 million subscribers at August end. The growth was primarily driven by Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone sales. With this, China Unicom has achieved its target of expanding its user base beyond 25 million by this year-end. Further additions would indicate growth prospects in China Unicom’s mobile 3G business, and will subsequently result in higher average revenue per user. We believe China Unicom continues to make significant progress in expanding economies of scale in 3G, broadband and other businesses that will likely improve its overall revenue and profitability. The company is also poised to benefit from the stabilization in ]]></description>

China Unicom is confident of expanding its 3G user base beyond its expected 25 million by the end of the year. We believe this target has already been achieved.

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on Telephone and Data Systems Inc. (TDS). The stock retains a Zacks # 2 (Buy) Rank for the short term. The company is a diversified telecom service provider offering wireless services through its subsidiary U.S. Cellular Corp. (USM) and wireline services through TDS Telecom. Telephone and Data Systems is pursuing several initiatives to reinvigorate growth including expansion of its 3G network, handset offerings and potential adoption of 4G Long-Term Evolution technology in the wireless business. The company is also aggressively deploying Triple-Play bundled wireline services through Dish Network Corp.’s (DISH) TV services. However, these positives are curbed by significant challenges in the wireless business as well as stiff competition from cable operators and Internet-based service providers in the wireline space.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on US Cellular (USM) to Underperform as the company faces many challenges. Most of the regional markets are extremely competitive and this has become more evident following the consolidations among several large carriers. The integration of Dobson Cellular/Cingular/AT&#38;T Wireless, Sprint/Nextel merger, consolidation of Verizon Wireless/Alltel in January 2009 and AT&#38;T s acquisition of Centennial Communications have resulted in Tier-1 carrier expansion into sparser geographical markets. As a result, U.S. Cellular continues to be susceptible to aggressive pricing by larger rivals. Moreover, the company&#8217;s high-margin roaming revenues remain under pressure, which is particularly troublesome given its strong reliance on roaming fees. Our price target is $42.00, based on 28.4x our 2011 earnings estimate. US CELLULAR (USM): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

The Polkomtel sale is the fourth initiative in Vodafone’s strategy, announced last year, to exit minority holdings. Vodafone, the largest revenue generating international wireless carrier, will use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down debt. The deal is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to approval from Polish authorities. As part of the same strategy, the company sold its 44% stake in the French joint venture, SFR, to Vivendi for €7.95 billion ($11.3 billion).

		<description><![CDATA[Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) anticipates dividends from Verizon Wireless, its joint venture with Verizon Communications (VZ). Vodafone owns 45% of Verizon Wireless and Verizon owns the remaining 55%. With the majority holding, Verizon has a right to approve a resumption of dividend payment that was suspended during the last 7 years due to the high debt levels at Verizon Wireless. Accordingly, the company has sustained its focus on maximizing free cash flow, maintaining a strong balance sheet and reducing debt. Aided by its balance sheet repair work, Verizon Wireless succeeded in significantly reducing its net debt to $9.6 billion on March 31, 2011 from $22.4 billion on March 31, 2010. In addition, Verizon Wireless generated free cash flow of about $12 billion last year, representing 45% of Vodafone’s share. Vodafone ]]></description>

(S) has announced that it will offer Fourth Generation (4G) Enterprise Wide Area Network (WAN) to its corporate customers. The 4G Enterprise WAN is a fixed wireless access that promises faster, better and secure service on the Sprint Global Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. Sprints’ Enterprise 4G WAN will encourage its customers to shift from the traditional wireline access. The service addresses significant issues related to enterprise communication like network security, reliability, higher bandwidth, cost effectiveness and flexible deployment. Consequently, Sprint 4G Enterprise WAN substitutes traditional wireline networks to far-flung areas where the installation of traditional wireline is cumbersome. The company is also focusing on gaining ground in the corporate telecommunication market. It plans to enter the Managed Telepresence platform, which is ]]></description>

On the other hand, Telesp&#8217;s fixed-line operation is struggling with disappointing first quarter net income, which was down 13% year over year.

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. Cellular Corporation (USM), the sixth largest wireless telecom operator in the U.S., continues to expand its advanced data services by incorporating fast, high-quality 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology. Additionally, the booming smartphone market has encouraged the company to diversify its related offerings work on the introduction of a 4G enabled smartphone. However, competitive pricing, which resulted in subscriber loss, has taken a major toll on the company’s earnings. As a result, first quarter earnings fell 26% from the year-ago level. Further, U.S. Cellular’s capital intensive nature of business and various regulatory issues lead to our cautious outlook. Over the years, U.S. Cellular has successfully acquired wireless licenses in areas adjacent to already established coverage regions. These enable the company to build contiguous operating markets, which in turn provide extended ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China&#8217;s second largest mobile operator China Unicom (CHU) added 2.33 million subscribers in May, up 1.32% from the prior month. This takes the company’s total customer base to 179.34 million. The company’s GSM subscriber base expanded to 157.25 million with the net addition of 0.59 million customers, while its 3G subscriber base increased to 22.09 million with the net addition of 1.74 million in May. However, China Unicom added fewer 3G subscribers in May compared to 1.817 million 3G subscribers in the last month. Despite the slowdown in new 3G users, the company is confident of expanding its 3G user base beyond its 25 million target for fiscal 2011. The company’s 3G business is performing well and is expected to sustain the momentum well into the future. 3G remains a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) has finally struck the much talked about deal with LightSquared Inc., as reported by Bloomberg. The 15-year deal, worth $20 billion, will be a big help in Sprint&#8217;s deployment of high-speed 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks. Currently, Sprint&#8217;s 4G services rely on a wholesale agreement with Clearwire Corp. (CLWR). The company owns a 49.9% stake in Clearwire and offers speedy data services to customers via 4G WiMax (a wireless broadband technology) in collaboration with the latter. Sprint’s 4G services covered 71 U.S. markets and reached 120 million people at year-end 2010. The coverage is likely to touch 130 million by the end of 2011. The LightSquared deal would provide a new source of revenue for Sprint as it would provide the latter with a new ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We believe MetroPCS Communications (PCS), one of the leading providers of unlimited prepaid wireless service in the U.S., remains well positioned to gain from the successful launch and execution of “Wireless for All” service plans. Further, growing demand for Android smartphones and the company’s entry into fourth-generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) wireless broadband services ensure opportunities for long term growth. However, we remain concerned about the company’s highly leveraged balance sheet, which may limit its ability to invest in growth initiatives going forward. Moreover, higher promotional expenses to roll out new service plans, new smartphones offerings, a competitive market and regulatory issues keep us on the sidelines. MetroPCS continues to benefit from the successful launch and execution of Wireless for All. During the first quarter, the company recorded subscriber net ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. Cellular (USM), the leading telecom service provider has launched its HTC 7 Pro smartphone. This also marks U.S. Cellular’s debut into the Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 7 platform. The smartphone will cost around $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and features a 3.6-inch screen, slide-out Qwerty keyboard, 1 GHz Qualcomm (QCOM) Snapdragon processor and a 5-megapixel camera. Last month, U.S. Cellular had introduced HTC Merge, based on Google’s (GOOG) Android 2.2 (also called Froyo) operating system. Now, HTC 7 Pro is expected to expand the company’s footprint into the Windows’ smartphones arena, which is dominated by companies like AT&#38;T (T) and T-Mobile. AT&#38;T was among the first to use Windows7 through smartphones like Samsung Focus, HTC Surround and LQ Quantum followed by T-mobile, which launched HTC HD7 last year. This ]]></description>
