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.

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), a leading provider of broadband cable television and Direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services in the U.S and Canada, based on strong third quarter 2011 results where both the top line and bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Shaw Communications acquired a 100% stake in the over-the-air and specialty television businesses of Canwest Global Communications Corp. (“Canwest”) for approximately $2 billion. The inclusion of such a popular broadcasting network is expected to position Shaw Communications as one of the leading entertainment and communications companies in the Canadian broadcasting industry. Moreover, with the acquisition of Canwest, the company intends to diversify its operations, which in turn will provide better future growth prospect.

		<description><![CDATA[Telecommunications is one of the very few industries that witnessed massive technological improvement during the recession. An unprecedented growth of high-speed mobile Internet traffic, particularly for wireless data and video, has transformed this industry into the most evolving, inventive and keenly contested industry. The telecommunications industry is identified as a major driver of the global economic recovery. The world economy is currently going through a recovery phase. The momentum is expected to remain strong in 2011. Several industry researchers have predicted that 2011 may witness telecommunications spending even more than the pre-recession periods. In the last few years, capital spending constraints among telecom operators due to severe recessionary conditions were the main hindrance to growth of this industry. However, with the economic recovery underway, large telecom service providers are gradually ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the 10-year T-note yielding only 3.06%, those investors interested in getting income from their investments are in sort of a tough place. Dividend-paying stocks are a very good place to look for a replacement. One thing you know for sure is that the coupon payment on a 10-year note is not going to rise. A yield of 3.06% does not offer much of a cushion against inflation. What is inflation likely to average over the next 10 years? I have no idea, but based on the spread between the regular 10-year note, and the 10-year TIPS, the market is implicitly expecting a rate of about 2.50%, which is pretty much in line with the historical experience (Headline CPI) over the last 20 years of 2.57%. While core inflation is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second largest Canadian telecommunications company, Telus Corporation (TU) reported first quarter 2011 adjusted earnings per ADS of 98 cents (97 Canadian cents per share), outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Adjusted earnings increased 14% year over year. The earnings uptick can be attributed to strong smartphone demand. Adjusted earnings exclude a gain of 4 cents from the acquisition of a contact centre business. Total revenue increased 6.5% year over year to C$2.531 billion ($2.567 billion), striding ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.490 billion. The year-over-year increase was attributable to higher revenues from wireless and wireline data services partially offset by declines in traditional voice revenues. Adjusted EBITDA upped 2.9% year over year to C$970 million ($983 million). The improved revenue was partially offset by high ]]></description>

Although the company maintains its previously given financial outlook for fiscal 2011, it now anticipates that growing competition in the Canadian telecom market may result in lower than expected revenue. Meanwhile, Shaw Communications also stated that ongoing cost cutting measures will enable the company to attain its targeted free cash flow in fiscal 2011. In the reported quarter, the company retrenched 550 employees of which 150 were in the managerial positions. Though this business restructuring process will cost between $25.6 million to $30.7 million, it will result in early cost savings of approximately $51 million.

		<description><![CDATA[The second-largest Canadian telecommunication company Telus Corporation (TU) plans to launch the fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology in early 2012 following the advancements in its 3G wireless network. It will provide higher Internet speeds relative to its 3G network. Telus had upgraded its existing CDMA-based wireless network to the 3G high speed packet access plus (HSPA+) technology in late 2009 that offers downlink speeds of up to 21 (Mbps). HSPA+ wireless network covers more than 95% of the Canadian population. Further, the company is expected to launch HSPA+ Dual Cell technology in the first half of this year. HSPA+ Dual Cell technology will double the download speeds to 42 Mbps on its 3G network by combining two wireless data carriers into a single carrier. Telus rolled out these ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world economy is currently going through a recovery phase. The momentum is expected to remain strong in 2011. The Telecommunications Industry is identified as a major driver of the global economic recovery. Capital spending constraints among telecom operators due to severe recessionary conditions were the main hindrance to the growth of this industry. However, with the economic recovery in full swing, large telecom service providers are gradually expanding their network coverage on the back of significant subscriber growth. The telecommunications industry encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. Besides the legacy local and long-distance wireline phone services, telecommunications industry also includes wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks, cable TV networks and commercial satellite communications. Key Attribute We believe that the overall economic dynamics may shift in favor of telecommunications ]]></description>

Earnings slipped 2.4% from 84 Canadian cents in the year-ago quarter due to higher income tax expense partially offset by favorable impacts of higher EBITDA, lower interest and reduced restructuring and other expenses. Consolidated revenue inched up 1.3% year over year to C$4.52 billion ($4.36 billion). Higher revenue from Bell Wireless was partially offset by lower revenue at Bell Aliant and Bell Wireline.

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation for Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), which means the stock will perform mostly in line with the broader market. Shaw Communications is a leading cable and satellite MSO of Canada operating mainly in the western part of the country. Shaw Communications has entered into agreements to acquire 100% of the over-the-air and specialty television businesses of Canwest Global Communications Corp. for approximately $2.0 billion. Canwest has restructured itself as a pure-play Canadian broadcaster. This transaction is expected to position Shaw Communications as one of the leading entertainment and communications companies in Canada with effective control of a premier broadcaster and content owner in the Canadian broadcasting industry. We believe the recent venture in super-fast FTTH networks and on-demand online services will sustain Shaw Communications’ future ]]></description>

Adjusted earnings exclude $17 million in restructuring charges and C$125 million (US$120 million) in net gains on investments, mainly arising from the sale of BCE’s stake in satellite service operator SkyTerra Communications. Net income surged 61% year-over-year to C$608 million (US$584 million) or 79 Canadian cents per share (US76 cents per ADS) as revenue grew on the back of strong results from the carrier’s wireless operation, boosted by aggressive promotion and a newly-launched high-speed network.

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our recommendation for BCE Inc. (BCE) to “Outperform&#8221; based on the operator’s favorable outlook for fiscal 2010, which reflects encouraging prospects across its wireless and wireline broadband businesses. BCE Inc. is Canada’s largest telecom carrier offering local and long-distance land-line phone service to roughly 70% of the Canadian population. The carrier’s wholly owned subsidiary Bell Canada operates its core wireline and wireless businesses as well as the direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television TV operation. Reported earnings in the last quarter beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Healthy data revenue driven by expanded smartphone penetration coupled with contributions from the recent acquisitions has boosted revenue in the wireless segment. Moreover, growth in video and broadband Internet subscriber base continues to offset the declines in traditional wireline voice accesses. Bell Canada’s ]]></description>

The carrier aims to spend $650 million in 2010 for expansion and upgrade of its wireline and mobile broadband networks in that key market. Telus expects its wireless and wireline broadband businesses to deliver healthy results in 2010 boosted by the significant investment made in 2009. Growth in broadband is helping the carrier to partly offset the sustained declines across local and long-distance voice businesses. Major portion of the projected 2010 capital expenditure will be devoted to the ADSL2+ wireline broadband network deployments and advancement to VDSL2 network. Telus expects to complete the deployment of its ADSL2+ network in the current year, with a target of achieving ]]></description>

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 Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR) to Neutral, which means the stock will perform in line with the broader market. The company’s first quarter fiscal 2010 financial results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, an unexpected drop in basic cable subscribers is a major concern. Shaw Communications is facing severe challenges from new entrants in the Canadian cable TV market. The company is yet to come out with any concrete date line for the implementation of its much hyped wireless network. Shaw Communications’ cable operation is currently facing increased competition. Telus Corp’s (TU) entry into cable TV services has increased competitive pressure and may, in our view, shave Shaw’s market share and cap margin expansion. Furthermore, industry predicted that the company’s arch rival Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI) to Neutral as a result of increased competition in the Canadian wireless market. Canadian wireless rates are among the highest in the world. In a bid to improve service and prices through competition, the Canadian federal government has licensed four new operators. Out of the four, Globalive, which will use the Wind Mobile brand, intends to offer its services in most of the country. The regulatory authority of Canada has proposed the imposition of a TV-tax which may increase the monthly bill of cable TV subscribers to a large extent. This may result in a significant drop in the number of cable TV customers and impact the entire broadcasting industry. Rogers’ cable operations are currently facing increased competition.

		<description><![CDATA[Telus Corp (TU), Canada’s second largest telecom carrier, has released financial targets for 2010 while lowering its forecasts for the current year. The revised target for 2009 reflects the impact of a sluggish Canadian economy on the company’s wireline business, launch of the new wireless network, cost associated with the launch of new smartphones (including the iPhone) and increase in restructuring cost in the fourth quarter. The company now expects overall revenue for 2009 to reach C$9.6 billion (US$9.06 billion), at the lower-end of its previously forecasted range of C$9.6–C$9.7 billion (US$9.06–US$9.15 billion). Revised EBITDA target of C$3.475 billion (US$3.28 billion) for 2009 also represents the lower-end of the earlier guidance of C$3.475–C$3.575 billion (US$3.28–US$3.37 billion). However, EPS guidance remains unchanged at C$3.10–C$3.30 (US$2.92–US$3.11). Capital expenditure (CapEx) target for 2009 ]]></description>

Since July 2008, Rogers Communication has been the sole Canadian carrier to market iPhone in the country as the device is compatible with the company’s GSM and HSPA (high speed packet access) based wireless networks. In contrast, both Telus and Bell Canada currently operates CDMA based networks which does not support the revolutionary smartphone.
