		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the growing market for Google’s (GOOG) Android-based smartphones, Sprint Nextel Corporation (S) is adding another such device to its existing line of Android smartphones. The company launched ZTE Fury, an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone at $19.99 after a rebate of $50.00. The USP of the phone not only lies in having an Android operating system but also in its pricing which remains pocket friendly. All this while, Sprint primarily focused on introducing top-end devices, like including Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 4 and 4S in October last year. These devices have remained accretive for the carrier, generating solid margin gains. But their high subsidies, representing nearly 40% of the device’s cost continues to be a significant headwind going forward. As a result, we believe that company’s interest in marketing handsets like ]]></description>

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Given the massive demand for wireless data services thanks to Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, AT&#38;T Inc. (T) seems to be falling short of bandwidth. The company has formed a new policy of curtailing data speeds to better manage its data services on its network. For an unlimited plan user through AT&#38;T’s smartphone’s downloading data would now mean a struggle as the company has axed approximately 99% of the data speed in an attempt to limit the “unlimited” services. The company’s new act is expected to upset around 17 million of its customers under the unlimited plan. Complaints have already started pouring in for speed slowdown after using only 1 to 2 gigabytes by customers. However, on the legal front, the company is playing fair as it has not debarred the unlimited ]]></description>

Currently, the Telecom industry is focusing on the next-generation technology (i.e. fourth generation [4G]), which is based on Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE has become the life-blood for operators across the world. It is an evolution of GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) standards. Significance Introduced in mid-2009, LTE became a standard technology in the U.S. in 2011. It is the fastest wireless network technology and uses radio spectrum allowing more data transfers with the same bandwidth used by any 3G or other devices. LTE has the capability to handle larger traffic without incurring extra cost. It provides a downstream rate of at least 100 Mbps ]]></description>

Telecommunications is one of the few industries to have seen rapid technological improvement even during the last recession. Given the significance of the telecommunications industry as an infrastructure product, we expect the overall economic dynamics to shift in its favor. We also expect the telecommunications industry to grow faster in 2012 compared with 2011. Invention and Innovation The major thrust for the telecommunications sector is coming from nonstop network inventions by carriers. The introduction of super-fast networks such as HSPA+ and LTE has enabled handset developers and chipset manufacturers to develop innovative products that are compatible with the latest network technologies.

These companies are innovating products and services as well as enhancing the existing ones to grow market share. Telecom operators provide Voice Telephony, Data, Internet, Cable and Satellite Television services through either wireless or wireline networks. Future growth of the telecom industry depends on the wireless segment as subscribers are discontinuing landlines and moving quickly to wireless connections. We expect wireless services to grow at a larger pace and account for 46% of the industry&#8217;s revenues in 2013, up from the current 42%. The carriers are rapidly entering into the cloud computing business due to increased competition and changing consumer habits. Cloud computing is now a business prerequisite that is high in demand.

Verizon is moving quickly to acquire more spectrum licenses to support its video content and other data services in its rapidly growing smartphone market. The demand for Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone 4 and 4S is also gaining traction. We believe the purchase of new spectrum will boost Verizon’s capacity to offer services at a much-higher speed, thereby boosting data revenues. The swap deal would enable Verzion to acquire 23 PCS licenses and 13 Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) licenses across the U.S. for $204 million. The swap deal comes within a week of the announcement that Verizon will buy wireless spectrum from a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We believe that the wireless majors, AT&#38;T (T) and Verizon Communications (VZ) may be lulled by the proverbial calm before the possible storm. While these giants remain eminently solid, yet their outlook is opaque. Also, issues such as huge capital costs, uncertain returns on investment, high penetration rates and churn (customer switch) rates provide continued room for concern. Furthermore, the proposed $39 billion merger between AT&#38;T and T-Mobile USA to create the largest mobile phone entity shows increased chances of failure rather than success. The deal is under regulatory attack even as AT&#38;T is seeking to divest substantial assets to salvage the takeover. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), although much smaller than the majors, is capable of engaging in aggressive price warfare. Also, calling plans are being treated as commodities. One ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T Inc.‘s (T) proposed $39 billion purchase of Deutsche Telekom’s unit, T-Mobile USA, is facing another setback following opposition from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Earlier in August, the Department of Justice blocked the proposed merger and filed an antitrust lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Washington. The trial is expected to start on February 13. Now, the FCC is seeking to send the proposal to the administrative law judge for hearing, which is expected to start after the completion of the trial. According to the FCC, the combination of the second and fourth wireless operators will create America’s largest mobile phone company surpassing the present leader, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of  Verizon Communications Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a Bloomberg report, AT&#38;T Inc. (T) is seeking to sell some assets or spectrum to rival companies in order to salvage its ambitious $39 billion purchase of Deutsche Telekom’s unit, T-Mobile USA. Earlier in March, AT&#38;T was keen to bring T-Mobile under its fold in a deal that would to be the largest in the wireless industry since 2004. AT&#38;T affirmed that the sale of assets would minimize the merger concerns like unfair competition, higher prices, job losses, lower innovation and investments in the industry. The move would help the company to gain necessary approvals from the government. AT&#38;T’s effort to buy T-Mobile is facing a major roadblock, with the Department of Justice (DoJ) filing an antitrust lawsuit to block the deal a month ago. But it isn’t ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications (VZ) recently unveiled its first unlimited prepaid plan for $50.00 a month. The plan would include unlimited voice, text and internet services. Prepaid wireless services remain an emerging business for U.S. telecom carriers, accounting for approximately 20% of the nation’s total wireless subscribers. Over the years, this segment has registered significant growth owing to the economic downturn that has made users wary of long-term contracts and additional cost burdens. As a result, users are always looking forward to prepaid plans that allow maximum cost optimization against post-paid plans. The launch marks Verizon’s foray into unlimited no contract plans which have been largely dominated by rivals like TracFone Wireless, Sprint Nextel (S), MetroPCS Communications (PCS) and Leap Wireless (LEAP). These companies have gained substantial market share given the growing ]]></description>

However, the Dow and S&#38;P 500 recorded their steepest monthly fall since May 2010, even as indices extended their stay in the green for the fourth-straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) opened with gains and was trading substantively higher. However, the Dow lost some of those gains at a later stage to close at 11,613.53, up 0.5%.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the buyout of Qualcomm’s wireless spectrumin the lower 700 MHz frequency band and the ambitious $39 billion proposed mega-merger of AT&#38;T and T-Mobile USA hold the same regulatory concerns. Hence, the FCC has combined the investigation and review of both transactions, postponing the completion of the spectrum purchase to the first quarter of 2012 from the second half of the year. The FCC said that the Qualcomm deal as well as theT-Mobile purchase would give additional spectrum rights to AT&#38;T, boosting data services to customers. However, the Commission is concerned that AT&#38;T could create a monopoly in terms of spectrum (airwaves that carry signals for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The demand for smartphones is currently on the rise, leading to a growing requirement for wireless data services. Data usage has more than doubled over the last three years. Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) estimated that mobile traffic would grow 26 folds and total mobile video traffic will expand to 197 million gigabytes (GB) over the next four years. Given the surge in data traffic demand, mobile operators are revising their monthly data plans to attract more subscribers. Accordingly, the operators are switching to tiered-data pricing plans from the unlimited data plans. As per market rumors, the largest U.S. mobile service provider Verizon Communications (VZ) will release its new monthly data plans next month. The company is expected to offer three tiered-data plans without any tethering beginning July 7. Verizon would ]]></description>

(S), the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier was the first to raise a voice of protest. Now, MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS) and Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) have also joined the league of opposition. MetroPCS and Leap are the prepaid wireless service providers in the U.S. According to these companies, the combination of the second and fourth wireless operators will create America’s largest mobile phone company surpassing the present leader, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group Plc (VOD). The companies also fear that the collaboration will mellow down innovation and investments in the industry and eventually affect customers.

The stock price has fallen by more than 38% in the last one year and is trading at the low-end of its 52-week price range. We believe this low level of market valuation of the company is providing a downward cushion to the stock price. Leap Wireless declared mixed financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010. Aftera gap of two consecutive quarters, Leap Wireless generated net customer addition in the fourth quarter of 2010. This turnaround was mainly due to management’s strategy to introduce high-end smartphones, especially those running on Android operating system developed by Google Inc. (GOOG).

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, after market close, Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) declared severe net losses its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010. Service revenue increased significantly due to the introduction of the new smartphones based on Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android software. However, Leap Wireless had to spend much more than our expectation in order to attract new customers that, in turn, jeopardized its bottom line. In synergy with this poor performance, share price of Leap Wireless plunged 36 cents (2.74%) to $12.80 in the after market trade on NASDAQ. Quarterly total revenue was slightly above $708 million, up 13% year over year, significantly surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $537 million. Service revenue was $636.6 million, up 10.9% year over year. Equipment revenue was nearly $71.5 million, up 36.5% year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation on Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) to Underperform. In the last three consecutive quarters, the company suffered a net subscriber loss contrary to the consensus opinion of a net subscriber addition. Important operating metrics such as ARPU, churn rate, customer addition cost deteriorated significantly. Despite Leap Wireless&#8217; announcement of net customer addition in the fourth quarter of 2010, the extent of growth was way below the prior-year level. In fact the company lost 48,000 broadband customers in the last quarter. Leap Wireless is operating in an intensely competitive, domestic, low-cost prepaid wireless market. As the prepaid wireless market is heating up, the company’s peers like Metro PCS Communications Inc. (PCS), Boost Mobile, a subsidiary of Sprint Nextel Corp.

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on U.S. Cellular (USM) to Neutral from Underperform. Although the largest wireless Chicago-based carrier missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the recently concluded third quarter, the increased penetration of smartphones led to earnings growth from the year-ago level. Currently, the stock has a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). The company’s third quarter earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and reported a 7% year-over-year increase. On the other hand, revenues dipped 0.3% year over year. Growth in data revenue (31%) was fully offset by lower voice revenues and inbound roaming revenues resulting from Verizon Communication’s (VZ) acquisition of Alltel. U.S. Cellular registered a net loss of 41,000 customers during the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, U.S. Cellular’s cash balance reduced ]]></description>

(PCS), the sixth-largest prepaid wireless service operator in the U.S., launched its first 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband service and dual-mode smartphone (designed to run on LTE and CDMA networks) in Las Vegas.

Moreover, revenues dipped 1%.

		<description><![CDATA[First Quarter Flashback Leading unlimited wireless carrier MetroPCS Communications (PCS) reported first-quarter 2010 earnings per share of 6 cents matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, net income plunged 48% year-over-year to $22.7 million on account of a 30% year-over-year increase in operating expenses (attributable to high handset subsidies and costs related to the new rate plans), which offset the healthy revenue growth. Revenues soared 22% year-over-year on the back of healthy subscriber accretion and a 17.4% annualized increase in service revenue. ARPU (average revenue per user) fell year-over-year, hit by aggressive price promotions. However, churn declined significantly due to healthy customer adoption of the carrier’s new &#8220;Wireless for All&#8221; service plan and higher spending on handset subsidies to retain customers.

The net loss increased 35% year-over-year to $68 million on account of higher operating costs and interest expenses. The carrier posted a net loss of $47.4 million, or 74 cents a share a year ago. Revenue, OIBDA &#38; Expense Consolidated revenues increased 11.4% year-over-year to $654 million, edging past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $653 million. The annualized revenue growth was fuelled by a 13.8% increase in service revenues that reached $584.8 million.

Net profit rose 1.9% year-over-year to 16.9 billion pesos ($1.3 billion), helped by foreign exchange gains. However, higher tax liabilities (up 58% year-over-year) have dented bottom-line growth. Revenue &#38; EBITDA America Movil, which is controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, continues to register double-digit revenue growth as consolidated revenues for the quarter grew 9.8% year-over-year to 98.7 billion pesos ($7.7 billion). However, revenues came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8 billion. Revenue growth was fueled by healthy services revenues.

Nevertheless, we see a silver lining for the telecommunication industry in this challenging environment as the valuation level now reflects remedial conditions in the economy. Depressed stock prices may make investment entry points more favorable at this juncture, should stimulus plans improve worldwide economics. The industry encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. Besides the traditional local and long-distance wireline telephone services, telecommunications also include wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks, cable TV networks and satellite communications.

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for U.S. Cellular (USM), the wireless subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems (TDS), to Underperform following the lower-than-expected fourth quarter 2009 results. The carrier reported disappointing results in the quarter with earnings coming in below the Zacks Consensus Estimate on account of lofty impairment charges. U.S. Cellular remains challenged by the increasingly competitive domestic wireless market and intense pricing pressure which is affecting customer accretion. The company continues to be susceptible to aggressive pricing by its larger rivals. Most of the regional markets are extremely competitive, which has exacerbated following the consolidation among several larger rivals. Competition has intensified after the launch of exclusive premium wireless handsets by Tier-1 carriers. Moreover, U.S. Cellular’s service revenue remain under pressure due to lower inbound roaming revenues resulting from ]]></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[Unlimited prepaid wireless carrier Leap Wireless (LEAP) is reportedly exploring opportunities for a potential sale or merger with a rival operator. The company has hired Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) as advisors and formed a three-member special committee to evaluate strategic options and find a potential suitor for Leap. While the most likely partner for Leap is its archrival MetroPCS (PCS), other potential candidates are Tier-1 US carriers such as Verizon (VZ) and AT&#38;T (T). MetroPCS, which targets similar consumer demographics as Leap, had made a $5.5 billion all-stock acquisition bid in 2007, which was rebuffed by Leap as too low. A potential deal with MetroPCS makes sense as both operators have similar business model, which are exposed to aggressive price competition. However, the companies share a history ]]></description>
