		<description><![CDATA[Satellite pay-TV service provider DISN Network Corp. (DISH) recently received a shot on its arm as Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services (S&#38;P) raised its outlook on the company from Stable to Positive. The reason for this upgrade was the proposed wireless network strategy of DISH Network. At present, S&#38;P rates DISH Network at BB-, which is still three notches below the investment grade territory of the rating agency. Earlier this year, DISH Network acquired 40 MHz S-band wireless spectrum through acquisitions of TerreStar Networks Inc. and DBSD North America Inc. Additionally, the company itself owns a slot of in-high-demand 700 MHz wireless frequency. DISH network has decided to deploy a nationwide ground based 4G LTE wireless network using the satellite airwaves. According, management applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, DISH Network Corp. (DISH) received a favorable ruling from department of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use its existing satellite spectrum of 40MHz for setting up terrestrial wireless network. Such a move initiated by the FCC will benefit DISH Network to deploy mobile broadband network, which in turn, will support smartphone and tablet usage, hence avoiding other inconvenient devices. Moreover, the company will able to offer triple play services (voice, video and internet), which they lacked in their product portfolio. The acquisition of DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. for  $2.9 billion has given DISH Network 40 MHz of satellite spectrum. Such massive satellite spectrum portfolio has encouraged them to appeal to the FCC for a waiver in order to set up terrestrial wireless network in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The present wireless market is ready for the incipient boom in the wireless data space with expanding broadband services. Data traffic is growing in leaps and bounds and has more than doubled over the last three years. As a result, U.S. carriers are finding it increasingly difficult to manage rising mobile data traffic. The situation becomes even worse with the growing popularity of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone and Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android smartphones. Stiff competitive pressure and limited wireless spectrum licenses add to the difficulties. The carriers are in need of additional airwaves to expand their high-speed services and support 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband services. As a result, the wireless industry in 2012 is intent on tapping unused spectrum to expand their capacity. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), which ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications’ (VZ) proposed $3.9 billion purchase of wireless spectrum is facing a major setback. T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, is urging Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to block the deal citing unfair competition. T-Mobile as a strong foe stated that the purchase would lead to concentration of excess spectrum in the hands of Verizon, which is already the largest U.S. mobile service provider with the maximum number of licenses. The deal would also allow the cross selling of each other’s products and services, and raise concerns among some politicians and consumer advocacy groups. In December last year, Verizon proposed to buy wireless spectrum from a group of cable companies, including Comcast (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Bright House Networks for $3.6 billion, and radio-spectrum licenses from the privately ]]></description>

(CSTR) to launch nationwide video rental and online streaming services comparable to those of its rival Netflix Inc. (NFLX). The venture would combine Coinstar&#8217;s Redbox new release DVDs and Blu-ray disc rentals with an on-demand streaming and download service from Verizon. The service is slated to be introduced in the second half of the year. While the financial terms were not disclosed, Verizon will hold a majority 65% stake in the venture while Coinstar own the remaining 35%. The success of both Verizon and Coinstar will depend on the pricing of the video streaming services and the quality offered in the booming subscription video service market.

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. Products like Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone, iPADS, ]]></description>

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.

The deal is awaiting approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Verizon is progressing fast to acquire more spectrum licenses in order to support its video content and other data services in the 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 driving data revenues. Verizon would acquire the 20 MHz Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) licenses covering 28 million Americans in cities including Boston, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Florida, Phoenix, San Diego and Las Vegas for $315 million.

The company is currently providing metro Ethernet services in 20 major U.S. markets and is expected to offer the services in most of its point-of-presences by the end of 2011. The U.S. telecom giants are gradually expanding their fiber-optic pay-TV services. Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) with FiOS network and AT&#38;T Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Competition sometimes creates strange bed fellows. Last week, this proverb was proved when Verizon Wireless entered into a spectrum purchase and products resell deal with SpectrumCo. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communicatons Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group plc. (VOD), and SpectrumCo, a consortium of U.S cable giants Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), and Bright House Networks, are arch rivals. But most importantly, does this deal has the ability to transform the U.S. telecom market structure into a duopoly, especially when FCC and Department of Justice are raising several questions regarding the proposed merger of AT&#38;T Inc. (T) with T-Mobile USA. A Duopoly in Disguise   Major concern for the U.S. regulators regarding the proposed AT&#38;T and T-Mobile merger is that this deal may ultimately result ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The largest U.S. mobile service provider Verizon Communications (VZ) has entered into a deal to swap its wireless airwaves with the low-cost wireless service provider Leap Wireless (LEAP). 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[The largest U.S. mobile service provider Verizon Communications (VZ) has agreed to buy wireless spectrum from a group of cable companies, including Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Bright House Networks. Verizon will acquire 122 radio (or Advanced Wireless Service) spectrum licenses covering 259 million Americans for $3.6 billion. The company will buy $2.3 billion wireless spectrum from the country’s largest cable provider, $1.1 billion from Time Warner Cable and $0.2 billion from Bright House. Nevertheless, the acquisition is currently under review by the Hart-Scott Rodino Act. It is also pending customary clearances from the Federal Communications Commission. The deal is expected to close in the middle of the next year. If approved, Verizon and cable operators would be able to market and sell each other’s products and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DIRECTV (DTV), the largest satellite TV operator in the U.S., reported excellent third quarter 2011 financial results, where both earnings per share (EPS) and total revenue beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates. The solid result was mainly attributable to double-digit growth in the top line, significant margin expansion and record net customer additions. DIRECTV continues to add new customers compared to other large pay-TV operators like Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC), and Cablevision Systems Corporation (CVC), who are sequentially losing basic video customers. Such consistent performance from DIRECTV is mainly attributable to customer screening, target marketing, innovative product developments, avoiding disputes with content manufacturers and most importantly the popularity of its NFL Sunday Ticket promotion, which drove subscriber addition of 327,000 in the U.S. during the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) delivered disappointing third quarter 2011 results. The company suffered huge video subscriber losses, which in turn affected the company’s performance in the reported quarter. Third Quarter Highlights Total revenue in the third quarter of 2011 came in at $14,339 million, up 51.1% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14,220 million. Both Cable Communications and NBC Universal segments contributed to the solid revenue growth. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $908 million or 33 cents per share compared with $867 million or 31 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. However, quarterly EPS of 33 cents was significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents. This was primarily attributable to higher interest charges and taxes along with a ]]></description>

These solid results were the combined effect of a double-digit growth of the top line and solid margin and ARPU expansion. The company is reaping the benefits of affluent quality subscribers, who are willing to pay for DIRECTV’s premium services and programs, which are pricier.  DIRECTV remains one of the few pay-TV service providers that are still generating video subscriber growth. However, net subscriber growth rate suffered a major setback in the U.S. in the recent times. This was primarily attributable to ongoing U.S. economic volatility and increasing competitive threat from telecom giants, who entered into the pay-TV services supported by their strong fiber-based network. Meanwhile, the Latin American operation continues to flourish and will remain strong in ]]></description>

(CBB) has reported second quarter adjusted earnings of 7 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and deteriorating 4 cents from the year-ago earnings. Revenues grew 8.5% year over year to $367.5 million in the reported quarter but was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $357 million. The increase in revenue was driven by higher Data Center Colocation as well as IT Services and Hardware revenues, partially offset by declines across Wireline and Wireless segments. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.8% from the year-ago quarter to $137.2 million and represents the highest first half EBITDA since 2002. Segment Results Wireline revenue dipped 1% year over year to $185.2 million. Lower voice revenue (down 10%) was partially offset by higher revenues from entertainment ]]></description>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) jumped 213 points or 1.9% to settle at 11,482.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P500) gained 2.2% and closed the day at 1,204.49.

		<description><![CDATA[The mobile Wi-Fi hotspot market is expected to become a multi-billion USD opportunity within the next few years. Wi-Fi connectivity is likely to become a huge opportunity for communications service providers. Several industry sources predicted that Wi-Fi enabled wireless devices like phone, computer, and consumer electronics may cross one billion by 2012. In addition to retail consumers, the business enterprises are likely to become major contributor for the growth of mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. The mobile Wi-Fi hotspot becomes widely acceptable in the market once Novatel Wireless Inc. (NVTL) launched its legendary MiFi line of Intelligent Mobile Hotspots in December 2008. MiFi is an ultra-portable wireless device, creating an environment of high-speed internet connectivity that can be easily shared by multiple users using up to five Wi-Fi devices.

(CVC) regarding the streaming of cable TV shows on iPad. It all started earlier this year when Time Warner Cable (TWC) launched a new application that allows live cable television viewing for its subscribers on the iPad while at home. But Viacom along with few other media entertainment companies objected to this application and demanded extra fees from the company. According to these media companies, Time Warner Cable is apparently violating the programme distribution rights by streaming their channels on iPads. In April 7, 2011,Viacom became the first media company to file a lawsuit against Time Warner Cable, thus ushering in a new media war. In response to ]]></description>

(CBB) is entering into a new business arena that allows it to offer energy services to its residential customers through its new subsidiary Cincinnati Bell Energy. Cincinnati Bell inked a partnership deal with Connecticut-based renewable energy supplier, Viridian Energy, to provide electric services at discounted energy rates unlike local utilities’ companies. The energy rate will be 30% less than Duke Energy Corporation’s (DUK) regulated price of 8.24 cents per kw hour and offered initially in the southwest territory. The retail energy market is growing day-by-day. After entering the managed hosting and cloud services business, the telecom industry is now moving to the green energy solution business.

From last March, the entertainment industry is witnessing a new legal battle between cable operators and cable channels once Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) introduced a new application to stream TV programs on the Apple Inc. (AAPL) developed iPADs. Therefore, any subscriber can watch the TV programs just by downloading the application on iPAD. As soon as Time Warner Cable introduced this innovative application, Viacom Inc. (VIA.B) was the first among several content developers to protest. The company argued that it has given right to Time Warner Cable to air its program on television and not to watch from any other devices. Viacom filed a lawsuit in April 7, 2011 claiming that Time Warner Cable broke its existing agreement and violated ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. after Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), is planning to acquire cable operation from NewWave Communications. The transaction is expected to cost Time Warner $260 million and will be closed by the end of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals. The acquisition will help the company in two ways. First, it will allow Time Warner to expand its footprint to non-urban areas where NewWave mainly operates. Second, Time Warner will cumulate 70,000 basic cable customers, 42,000 Internet users and 26,000 telecom subscribers of NewWave Communications. The urban areas are becoming highly competitive as big telecom giants like Verizon Wireless Communication (VZ) and AT&#38;T, Inc (T) are offering cable services through Fiber to the Node (FTTN) or Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) communications ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on DIRECTV (DTV). The company declared excellent financial results for the first quarter of 2011. These solid results were the combined effect of a double-digit growth of the top line, significant margin and ARPU expansion, and better-than-expected net customer addition. Management’s strategy to target high-end customers paid-off nicely as the demand for the company’s HD channels and digital-video recording services sky rocketed in the reported quarter. DIRECTV remains one of the few pay-TV service providers that are still generating commendable video subscriber growth. DIRECTV is reaping the benefit of affluent quality subscribers, who are willing to pay for the company’s costly premium services and programs with low churn rate.In the first quarter of 2011, DIRECTV added 184,000 net subscribers in the U.S. and 427,000 ]]></description>

We have already seen how frequently mobile devices developers and network infrastructure solutions providers are suing each other for patent infringement. Legal spat between video broadcasters and content developers over royalty fee has become very common that resulted in several channel blackouts on several broadcasters. A new set of litigation issues recently emerged between cable TV service providers and media companies over offerings of content on tablets. Tablets are the new latest outcome of the highly innovative telecommunications field. These are pocket-sized notebooks offering cameras and other application-rich features.

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Inc. (DISH) declared fourth quarter of 2010 financial results today that outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Quarterly GAAP net income was $252 million or 56 cents per share compared with a net income of $179 million or 40 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. EPS of 56 cents in the fourth quarter of 2010 was well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents. Quarterly total revenue increased 8.2% to $3,210 million, from $2,960 million in the year-ago period. This was mainly due to an increase in subscriber related revenue. This was also above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,193 million. However, DISH Network lost 156,000 net subscribers during the reported quarter, which reduced its total subscriber base to 14.133 million at the end of 2010. This ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, February 15, 2011 Hollywood’s traditional business model is in a state of flux. That much is evident in the closed, and closing, stores of bankrupt Blockbuster (PINK: BLOAQ). The DVD rental chain used to pay movie studios hundreds of millions of dollars a year for their films. But that source of revenue is now gone with the wind thanks to Blockbuster’s inability to adapt. Other companies have stepped in to do what it refused to though. And they’re doing rather well for themselves these days. These companies offer different ways to rent or buy movies that Blockbuster couldn’t or wouldn’t. And now it’s open season to see which company will go the distance. The Netflix Model Several different models have emerged over the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) recently entered into a tentative agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. (SBGI) to ensure uninterrupted services of Sinclair local TV station affiliates such as FOX and ABC channels to about 4 million Time Warner Cable video customers. The dispute over the retransmission fees is temporarily solved; however, Time Warner Cable announced that it will enter into a final deal with Sinclair within a week. Dispute over transmission fees between cable operators and broadcast TV channel owners has become a major problem in the U.S media and pay-TV industry. According to Bloomberg, during 2010, TV channel blackouts due to fee disputes took place seven times, the highest in the whole decade. Notable among them is the dispute between FOX networks and Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC) when ]]></description>

Windstream’s ongoing acquisitions to expand its coverage markets and subscriber count are vital for its survival in an industry that is consolidating. We believe acquisitions will spur the company’s growth going forward as Windstream focuses on growing within broadband and business services. Windstream continues to acquire smaller rural carriers to expand its customer base.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our long-term recommendation on Windstream Communication (WIN), the fifth largest local telephone carrier in the U.S, to Underperform from Neutral on account of highly leverage balance sheet. Currently, the stock has a Zacks Rank # 3 (Hold), which signifies that for the short term (1-3 months), we are currently maintaining our Hold rating. Windstream’s ongoing acquisitions to expand its coverage markets and subscriber count are vital for its survival in an industry that is consolidating. These acquisitions have strained the balance sheet as the company is predominantly funding most of them with debt. Windstream had roughly $6.6 billion in total debt at the end of the third quarter (up from $6.3 billion at the end of 2009).

		<description><![CDATA[Competition some time results in strange business agreements. The two fierce rivals of the U.S. commercial satellite TV market, DIRECTV (DTV) and DISH Network Corp. (DISH) are on the verge of entering a joint deal with a media buyer through which interactive advertisements will flow to both DIRECTV and DISH subscribers. In April 2010, these two companies formed a joint venture called ‘Advanced Satellite Advertising Platform’ to offer a combined interactive advertisement platform to media buyers. We believe the primary reason for this business cooperation is the massive competitive pressure that the satellite TV companies are facing from cable MSOs, fiber-based networks of telecom operators, and the newly developed Internet video streaming service providers. By agreeing to shake hands, both DIRECTV and DISH will get necessary economies of scale, a ]]></description>

SDV technology distributes digital video content through cable network in a cost-effective manner so that additional uses can be made using the free bandwidth. It can also be helpful for IP video services and more targeted advertising. Industry sources have predicted that SDV deployment may cross 65 million homes in the U.S. at the end of 2010, compared to just 35 million at the end of 2009. This figure may exceed 90 million by the end of 2012. Cable MSOs are opting to deliver IP-based and cross-platform video services, and support more targeted advertising.

Comcast’s existing Xfinity Internet subscribers will be able to access all indoor and outdoor WiFi hotspots installed by it without any additional charge. Xfinity WiFi will support download speeds of 6 Mbps – 8 Mbps. Cable MSOs throughout the U.S. are facing increasing competition from both telecom service providers and satellite TV providers.

(TWC), the second largest cable MSO in the U.S. may enter into an agreement with privately-held cable operator Cox Communications, for mutual co-operation of their respective cable systems in California . The cable systems are roughly worth $2 billion and will help both the companies reduce their operating costs such as customer servicing costs. The agreement may also expand to cover more geographic locations. However, it is also rumored that Time Warner Cable may also acquire the entire cable business of Cox Communications if the Cox Family, the owner of the company decides to quit.

		<description><![CDATA[Sprint Nextel (S) is arguing whether to let its rival operator, T-Mobile USA, to invest in Clearwire Corp. (CLWR). Sprint is well aware that the investment will give lead to cutthroat competition and may even challenge its leading position in the deployment of 4G services. Sprint offers speedy data services to customers via 4G network in collaboration with Clearwire. The expansion of 4G services is vital to Sprint’s survival in the U.S. wireless market, given its continued market share erosion. Sprint merged its wireless broadband unit with Clearwire in 2008 and currently owns 54% of the stake. Clearwire needs new funding by the end of the year and is in talks with new and existing customers about an expansion of its footprint in the U.S. If T-Mobile, a unit of Germany ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The largest cable MSO (Multiple System Operator) in the U.S., Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) is all set to deploy switched digital video (SDV) in its hometown, Philadelphia, using Motorola Inc. (MOT) devices. Earlier in June, Comcast stated in a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing that it will abide by the agency’s SDV policy and will start rolling-out SDV from the second half of 2010 and more aggressively in 2011. SDV technology distributes digital video content through cable network in a cost-effective manner so that additional activities can be performed using the free bandwidth. SDV will enable Comcast to send a multicast stream of a 3DTV channel when a customer in a given service group select it for viewing. Comcast is aggressively reclaiming 40 to 50 of its existing analog channels to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications (VZ) plans to launch a software application for mobile devices that will enable the FiOS TV customers to watch live television shows and movies on Apple Inc.&#8216;s (AAPL) iPad. FiOS TV customers can watch one program through Verizon&#8217;s set-top box on a traditional TV and another program on the iPad with an in-home Wi-Fi connection.
