Here is Sprint’s customer story that I took right  from their Q1 2009 Report - For the quarter, total wireless customers declined by approximately 182,000, including net losses of 1.25 million post-paid customers – comprising 531,000 CDMA and 719,000 iDEN( read NexTel) customers (including a net 94,000 customers who transferred from the iDEN network to the CDMA network). The company also lost

Verizon continues to shed its rural assets. In a deal announced earlier last month, they have decided to divest their assets in 14 states – predominantly in rural markets. This is definitely a part of the strategy that Verizon is carefully executing since last 5-6 years – first with the divestment of Hawaiian assets to Carlyle Group and then they sold off  Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire access

Well I mean  Cloud Computing! Verizon decided to join already crowded space of cloud computing service providers along with IBM, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard and Amazon as well as their main rival AT&T. In today's economy, most of the companies are very reluctant to make major capital investments and they are actively considering the cloud computing model which could provide them the

Technorati Tags: Bing,Google,Yahoo,Acer,Android You might not had a chance to experience the latest search engine from Microsoft.  I have been using it for nearly a week now and I am pleasantly surprised with the search results and user experience. Microsoft describes Bing as a decision engine – much more than a typical search engine. Here is my run down on the new service and what this means

In the current economic environment, most of the IT Managers are finding themselves in a very difficult positions – they are asked to reduce the IT spend and at the same time demand for the IT services are growing. It is quite understandable that other functional areas within the organization will need more IT services to reduce their cost. For example, Supply Chain group in one of my client’s

Time Warner decided to finally spin-off AOL as a separate publically traded company. I’ve been following this transaction for a while now and it feels like both parties missed the opportunity. Some of you may remember couple of years back, a python tried to swallow an alligator in Florida. Both died in the process! AOL bought Time Warner in 2001 in a $147B deal. Within 2 years, Time Warner took

Reducing the IT cost was on top of the agenda for most of the CIOs even before the current economic melt down. So no one is really surprised with the renewed interest in finding innovative ways to reduce or manage the cost of the IT. Traditionally IT is always perceived as a cost center and this contributes to the way we try to manage the  cost. This is essentially one sided approach which
