		<description><![CDATA[The struggling mobile phone manufacturer Motorola Inc. (MOT) is all set to launch its latest touchscreen smartphone the ‘Motorola CHARM’ with MOTOBLUR enhancements. This device will likely hit the market by the third quarter of 2010, exclusively with T-Mobile USA, the U.S. division of Deutsche Telekom (DT). Motorola Charm is based on Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android 2.1 operating system, offering social networking facilities with a compact design. It also provides in-call noise cancellation, a facility found usually in high-end Smartphones such as, Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone and Google’s Nexus One.  It is compatible with Adobe Flash and has a trackpad just like the one available in AT&#38;T Inc.’s (T) Backflip. Motorola Charm is all geared up to compete with HTC Inc.’s Aria launched in June. During the first quarter of 2010, ]]></description>

The new price plans, which replace AT&#38;T’s current $30 monthly unlimited wireless data plan, however, do not affect the carrier’s existing subscribers who can continue with the benefits of unlimited usage. Nevertheless, existing smartphone users have the option to switch to the new plans without extending their service contracts. AT&#38;T’s announcement comes ahead of the introduction (likely June 7) of the next-generation iPhone by Apple (AAPL).

		<description><![CDATA[Germany’s recently concluded 4G mobile broadband spectrum (radio airwave) auction has fetched lower-than-expected revenues for the government. The multi-round auction which was initially expected to generate between €6 billion and €8 billion (US$7.5 billion and US$9.9 billion) eventually raked in €4.38 billion (US$5.5 billion). The results appear lackluster compared with the staggering €51 billion (US$63 billion) in revenues generated from the sale of 3G spectrum licenses ten year ago. The auction, which was the first of its kind in Europe, officially kicked off in Mainz, Germany, on April 12, 2010. The minimum bid price was set at €1.5 million (US$1.9 million) per 5 megahertz (MHz) frequency block compared to €25.57 million (US$32 million) set in the 3G auction. The German telecom regulator Bundesnetzagentur has auctioned the 4G radio spectrum in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad news for US iPhone users, as AT&#38;T (T) has reportedly raised Early Termination Fees (ETFs) for premium smartphones effective June 1, 2010. Ma Bell has bumped up the ETFs on such devices from the existing $175 to a whopping $325, making it much more costly for customers who break service contracts early. However, the carrier has pruned the ETFs for regular handsets from $175 to $150. Additionally, the ETFs owed will be reduced by $10 and $4 for smartphones and regular phones, respectively, for every month of service completion prior to cancellation. So if a smartphone customer leaves after six months under a two-year contract, ETF will be cut by $60 and he/she will be charged $265. The revised rates will only be applicable to new customers and those ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Germany’s 4G mobile broadband spectrum (radio airwave) auction is gaining momentum as the bidders have reportedly raised their offers for the most expensive and valuable 800 megahertz (MHz) frequency band. Bids totaled €3.73 billion (US$4.6 billion) after the hammer fell on May 18, 2010, with a few bids in the 800 MHz band exceeding €500 million (US$622 million). The auction, which is the first of its kind in Europe, officially kicked off in Mainz, Germany, on Apr 12, 2010. The minimum bid price has been set at €1.5 million (US$1.9 million) per 5 MHz frequency block compared to €25.57 million (US$32 million) set in the 3G auction, which was held way back in 2000.

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T (T) has announced a major advancement in its nationwide 3G mobile broadband network. The US telecom ace has decided to upgrade its HSPA 7.2 standard based 3G network to HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access Plus), which will double the existing network throughput. With this announcement, Ma Bell seems to have tweaked its previous plan of a direct upgrade from 3G to 4G. The HSPA+ upgrade will catapult network speeds to offer a maximum downstream speed of 14.4 megabits per second (Mbps), compared to 7.2 Mbps enabled by the HSPA 7.2 network. AT&#38;T plans to cover 250 million people with the advancement by fourth-quarter 2010, thereby expanding the reach of its high-speed network footprint. Deutsche Telekom’s (DT) US subsidiary T-Mobile USA is the only other major national carrier which has taken ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International telecom giant Vodafone Group Plc. (VOD) has announced fiscal 2010 results. The world’s largest wireless carrier by sales posted adjusted (excluding one-time items such as impairment charges) earnings per ADS of US$2.56, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of US$2.49. Net profit surged to £8.6 billion (US$13.7 billion) from £3.08 billion (US$4.9 billion) a year ago, boosted by higher sales, lower impairment losses and reduced tax expenses. The year-ago quarter’s profit was dented by a £5.9 billion ($9.4 billion) impairment charge on the carrier’s operations in Spain, Turkey and Ghana. Consolidated revenues leapt 8.4% year-over-year to reach £44.5 billion (US$71 billion) on the back of favorable exchange rate swings and healthy contribution from the operator’s Asia-Pacific and Middle East operation which offset weak performances in the key European markets. However, ]]></description>

Consolidated revenues grew 1.7% year over year to €13.93 billion (US$22.1 billion). Latin America contributed 40% of the group’s revenues followed by Spain at 33% and Europe at 25%.

		<description><![CDATA[Sprint Nextel (S) has reportedly abandoned its plan of selling Google’s (GOOG) so-called “Superphone&#8221; Nexus One. Instead, the third largest US wireless operator will focus on its forthcoming 4G smartphone HTC EVO 4G, which the carrier reckons is a better option for its subscribers. The move makes Sprint the second major national carrier to dump Nexus One after Verizon (VZ). This is bad news for Google as it disrupts the Internet giant’s marketing strategy for the device. Sprint announced in March 2010 that it will offer a CDMA version of Nexus One to its customers. However, the carrier has flipped its decision on the device in favor of EVO 4G, which is superior in terms of phone features and is being designed to run on a faster network.

		<description><![CDATA[RadioShack Corp. (RSH) has declared better-than-expected first quarter 2010 financial results. Comparable store sales for company-operated stores and kiosks (stores and kiosks opened at least a year) grew 4.7% year-over-year. This is a key retail performance indicator measuring growth from existing sales locations. As a result, in after-market trade on NYSE, the stock price of RadioShack was up 36 cents (2.36%) to $23.45. GAAP net income, in the first quarter, was $50.1 million or 39 cents per share compared to a net income of $43.1 million or 34 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. First quarter EPS of 39 cents was far ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 36 cents. Management’s strategy of emphasizing innovative mobile and technology products has helped RadioShack improve its bottom-line. Quarterly net revenue ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Europe’s first 4G mobile broadband spectrum (radio airwave) auction officially kicked off in Mainz, Germany, on April 12, 2010. The country’s telecom regulator Bundesnetzagentur has reportedly commenced auctioning the 4G radio spectrum, which will be used by the incumbent carriers to roll out mobile broadband services based on the emerging Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard. This represents the first wireless broadband spectrum auction in Germany in nearly a decade. The previous auction, which was held in 2000, allocated spectrum licenses to six operators to roll out 3G wireless broadband services. The 4G auction sets a benchmark for the other leading economies in Europe that are expected to hold spectrum auctions in 2010-2011. This time, Bundesnetzagentur has allowed four operators to bid in the 4G auction, namely, Telefonica (TEF), Deutsche Telekom (DT), ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our recommendation for Vodafone (VOD) to Outperform based on the company’s healthy operating results in the last quarter and management’s upbeat guidance. Our assessment also reflects improving business trends in the carrier’s key European markets and opportunities for sustainable growth across the emerging markets. Revenue growth in the most recent quarter was fuelled by the healthy contributions from the Asia-Pacific and Middle East operations. Moreover, subscriber growth was driven by continued healthy net additions in the company’s Indian operation. Vodafone is the world’s largest revenue generating wireless carrier and is only behind China Mobile (CHL) in terms of overall subscriber count among the cellular operators. The carrier’s globally diversified operation is a natural hedge that offsets price competition and currency exchange translation risk that may arise in ]]></description>

The carrier plans to introduce a tailor-made version of the popular Opera Mini 5 mobile browser that will offer web access to low-end mobile handsets running on 2G networks. This is great news for cell phone users in developing nations, especially for the low-to-mid income group who so far does not have the privilege of using a state-of-the-art mobile Internet browser. The move is also in parity with Vodafone’s recent launch of low-cost handsets across select developing nations.

The former chief executive of Orange UK will be the CEO of the integrated company while the former T-Mobile UK CEO has been designated as the Chief Financial Officer and deputy CEO.

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has outlined its goals for the “National Broadband Plan&#8221; (NBP), which the agency will deliver to the Congress on March 16, 2010. The regulator has drafted ambitious proposals that will revolutionize the US broadband industry and provide the necessary infrastructure to connect all the corners of the nation. As a reminder, the NBP is aimed at setting up strategies and appropriate regulatory framework to promote adoption, affordability and wider availability of broadband Internet in the US. Under the directives of Congress, the FCC has chalked out action plans to ensure far-reaching accessibility of broadband in the country. As expected, the FCC’s blueprint includes the previously announced &#8220;100 Squared&#8221; initiative. The agency expects Internet service providers to offer broadband speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) to ]]></description>

Reported earnings and revenue for the last quarter missed the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Deutsche Telekom continues to face a weak economy with further declines in Germany&#8217;s fixed-line telephony business due to intense competition. The company&#8217;s domestic and UK operations remain significantly challenged by regulatory pricing pressure. Moreover, the carrier&#8217;s US unit TMobile USA is struggling with declining sales as it contends with aggressive price competition. While Deutsche Telekom remains committed to its cost-cutting initiatives, we account for the increasing debt exposure and higher capital spending levels which may tighten future free cash flow.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading Deutsche Telekom (DT), the incumbent telecom carrier in Germany , to Underperform in light of the recent lower-than-expected operating results and management’s tepid outlook for 2010. Reported earnings and revenue for fourth quarter 2009 have missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Deutsche Telekom continues to face a sluggish economy with further declines in Germany’s fixed-line telephony business due to intense competition. The carrier lost a total of 2.1 million fixed voice lines in 2009, largely due to higher customer migration to all-IP lines. The lackluster performance can be attributed, in part, to general economic weakness. It also appears that Deutsche Telekom is losing share to other players in this market. The company’s domestic and UK operations remain significantly challenged by regulatory pricing pressure. Termination rate (inter-operator fees) cuts ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street seems obsessed with pigs these days. PIIGS, that is – Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain – the smaller economies in Europe. Many people worry whether these countries can honor their sovereign debt because of high, already-existing debt levels. And the U.S. Senate might even investigate Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) for allegedly hiding Greek debt from European regulators… Talk about locking the barn door after the Trojan horse has already bolted. Also foolishly, investors have vilified every single company in those countries. Fears have spread that neighboring economies are suspect as well, by association. And in response, investors have either backed away from that region altogether or full-out shorted related stocks. Either way, they don’t know what they’re missing out on. But not to worry. That very panic ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to spend lavishly on expanding broadband access in the U.S. The FCC’s forthcoming National Broadband Plan (NBP) will propose up to $25 billion in new federal spending to Congress to expand nationwide broadband lines and build a wireless Internet network. The estimate includes $12 billion to $16 billion to be spent over the next 10 years to construct a wireless broadband network for police and firefighters (emergency public safety broadband system). The FCC plans to offset the hefty spending on NBP with the revenue generated through a spectrum auction and other measures. The agency aims to auction a portion of the public-safety spectrum (airwave) called the “D-block&#8221; in 2011 to fund the spending plan. The FCC is expected to submit the NBP to Congress ]]></description>

The 3G WCDMA spectrum auction was recently deferred to August-September 2010 due to lack of available spectrum. India’s Department of Telecommunications (“DoT&#8221;) has been in a prolonged negotiation with the country’s Ministry of Defence as India’s armed forces had to vacate specific 3G spectrum required for the auction. As per the information provided by the DoT on Feb 25, 2010, the last date for submission of applications for the operators is March 19, 2010. Mock auctions will be held on April 5 and 6, followed by 3G auction on April 9, 2010. The DoT will auction 3-4 slots of 3G wireless spectrum ]]></description>

Net income fell 26% year-over-year to €3 billion (US$4.18 billion), largely due to a €964 million (US$1.3 billion) charge stemming from a dispute with EU competition authorities related to an illegal tax exemption received by the carrier prior to 2003. The bottom-line was also hit by lower mobile termination rates (inter-operator fees) in key markets.

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Neutral, due to our concern regarding future sales potential of the company’s non-wireless product categories. RadioShack’s fourth quarter 2009 financial results were mostly in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimates. But that was mainly due to significant growth of the wireless businesses. In the fourth quarter, sales of its TV Converter box was just $13.1 million compared to $54.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Accessory sales were down 19.6% due to a huge sales decline in digital-to-analog TV converter boxes, imaging accessories and video game accessories. Modern Homes sales declined 8.8%, Personal Electronics sales decline 12.4%, Power sales declined 11.2%, and Technical sales declined 4%.

		<description><![CDATA[German telecom behemoth Deutsche Telekom (DT) has announced fourth-quarter results with adjusted (excluding impairment charges) earnings per ADS of 31 cents missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. Adjusted net profit of €905 million (US$1.3 billion) represents a 5% annualized improvement. However, on a reported basis, the carrier registered a net loss of €3 million (US$4 million) in the fourth quarter as it was hit by impairment charges of €500 million (US$738 million) in its Southern and Eastern Europe segments, primarily in Greece which is suffering from a severe financial crisis. Reported net loss for the quarter, however, was much lower than the net loss of €730 million (US$963 million) registered in the year-ago quarter when results were dragged down by impairment charges and one-time costs related to job ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RadioShack Corp. (RSH) declared fourth quarter 2009 financial results yesterday after the closing bell. Overall the company performed well as both its top-line and bottom-line increased over the prior-year quarter. However, serious concerns remain regarding RadioShack’s non-wireless product categories and RadioShack Kiosks sales. GAAP net income, in the fourth quarter, was $75.7 million or 60 cents per share, compared to a net income of $60.1 million or 48 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Fourth quarter earnings of 60 cents per share barely topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 59 cents. Quarterly net revenue was $1,318.2 million, up 4.7% year-over-year. However, this was slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,325 million. The year-over-year increase in sales is primarily due to a 6.1% rise in comparable same-store sales for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proposed merger of the UK units of European telecom giants Deutsche Telekom (DT) and France Telecom (FTE) in a 50-50 joint venture faces the possibility of an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), the UK antitrust watchdog. OFT is of the opinion that the merger deal could significantly subdue competition in the UK wireless market. The companies had announced their merger plan in September 2009 and filed their appeals to the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union (EU), for approval of the deal in January 2010. The commission is expected to provide a ruling on the case by March 1, 2010. If approved, Deutsche Telekom’s British subsidiary T-mobile UK will combine with France Telecom’s Orange UK in a historic merger. OFT has reportedly sought ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom (DT) is mulling over spinning off its U.S. arm, T-Mobile USA. Alternatively, the German operator may launch an initial public offering (IPO) for the US wireless unit, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Deutsche Telekom has negotiated with banks including Deutsche Bank (DB) to manage the IPO. A decision is expected in the next few months. However, company officials declined to comment on the issue. With roughly 33.4 million customers, T-mobile USA is the fourth-largest carrier in the U.S. It has the distinction of being the first operator to adopt Google’s (GOOG) Android platform in the country, and is currently the sole carrier in the U.S. to offer the Internet giant’s Nexus One “superphone.&#8221; Moreover, T-Mobile USA has joined the high-speed hoopla in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama’s budget proposal on February 1, 2010, indicated that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the US telecom regulator, could get an estimated $6.4 billion boost from the use of spectrum (radio airwaves) over the next ten years. In his fiscal 2011 budget proposal, the US president proposed the extension of FCC’s authority to auction spectrum, which is slated to expire on September 30, 2012. This would bring in at least $1.6 billion by way of revenue for the US government from auctioned licensed spectrum through 2020. The move is aimed at fostering a widespread accessibility of broadband and associated technologies in the country and boost adoption in urban regions. Moreover, President Obama has proposed new user fees for unauctioned spectrum, which could garner another $4.8 billion. The budget ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More bad news for telecom operators and 3G hopefuls in India as the country’s much-delayed 3G spectrum (radio airwaves) auction has been postponed again and is not likely to commence until August-September 2010. This represents the fourth postponement over the last year. The 3G WCDMA spectrum auction (scheduled for January 14, 2010) was deferred to mid-February 2010 in late 2009 due to lack of available spectrum. India’s Department of Telecommunications (“DoT&#8221;) is working closely with the country’s Ministry of Defence as India’s armed forces have to vacate specific 3G spectrum required for the auction. The Mininstry of Defence cannot vacate the spectrum until a fiber-optic cable network is built to connect key defence locations, a process which may continue till mid-2010. DoT cannot start the auction unless specific frequencies are ]]></description>

The agency has asked the US wireless carriers to justify the hefty ETFs they charge their contract customers. This brings top-tier incumbent wireless operators Verizon (VZ), AT&#38;T (T), Sprint Nextel (S) and Deutsche Telekom’s (DT) US arm T-mobile USA under the agency’s probe. Moreover, search engine giant Google (GOOG), which is selling Nexus One Android phone, has also been brought under the FCC scanner. Google is charging extra cancellation fees on top of the ETFs levied by T-mobile USA, which offers Nexus One under a two-year service contract. As such, consumers end up paying roughly $550 in aggregate on early cancellations. ETFs are charges/penalties levied by ]]></description>

The mobile carrier, which was once the wireless arm of BT Group (BT), aims at complementing its existing wireless and broadband Internet services with wireline voice. BT Group (formerly British Telecom) is the incumbent fixed-line telephone service provider in the UK. By entering the residential wireline telephony market, O2 UK will compete with its former parent company BT. O2 UK, which currently markets fixed voice services to business customers, will offer two wireline voice packages for residential customers, namely, “Evening and Weekend&#8221; and “Anytime&#8221;. At a monthly cost of $15.45, the Evening and Weekend plan offers unlimited calls to UK homes ]]></description>

The international telecom giant officially unveiled the iconic smartphone on January 14, 2010, thereby becoming the third carrier to sell the device in the UK. Vodafone UK, along with its peer, France Telecom’s (FTE) Orange UK, sealed marketing rights to iPhones in September 2009, which effectively ended Telefonica (TEF) O2 UK’s two-year exclusivity on the device in the UK. O2, which will continue selling iPhone, has already sold more than a million units (including 8,000 units on the first day) since the device’s debut in 2007. However, the ]]></description>

The European Commission will review the merger proposal and is expected to provide an initial ruling in February 2010. If eventually approved, Deutsche Telekom’s British subsidiary T-mobile UK will combine with France Telecom’s Orange UK in a historic merger (expected to conclude by mid 2010). Moreover, the UK competition authorities are currently considering a potential investigation of the said merger as consumer groups are increasingly concerned about the impact of the deal on the competitive scenario in the UK mobile market.

This device has its keypad at the back, which can fold out rather than slide out. BACKFLIP will combine the social networking and personalization of MOTOBLUR software with the multitasking performance. Motorola will start shipment of this mobile phone in the current quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[The year 2010 promises to be the year of super-fast wireless networks. T-Mobile USA, the US subsidiary of German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom (DT), has joined the high-speed hoopla in the US as it has reportedly upgraded its nationwide 3G mobile broadband network to the HSPA 7.2 standard. HSPA 7.2 offers peak theoretical download speeds of 7.2 megabits per second (Mbps), which has effectively doubled network throughput from the existing 3.6 Mbps. However, as the available bandwidth will be split among many users, speeds may differ in practical settings. Although T-mobile USA’s 3G network is the smallest among the four big carriers in the US, it has already covered a population of 200 million.
