Facebook IPO : Is mobile a significant risk factor?

February 3, 2012

Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

Analysis of:FaceBook, Inc. Registration Statement, Form S-1 | www.sec.gov

In its S-1 Facebook identifies use on mobile devices as a risk factor for future business. More broadly, Facebook’s future performance hinges on the evolution of the broadband access market and whether this market becomes an operator-controlled “walled garden” or duopolistic “walled gardens”. That outcome is likely in the U.S. if the Verizon/Cable MSO transactions are approved and AT&T follows suit.

What do the Verizon/cable MSO transactions mean for Sprint-Nextel?

February 1, 2012

Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

I believe Verizon’s initiatives with four major cable MSOs (multiple system operators) - three of whom have been partners with Sprint and Clearwire – are the result of yet another example of Sprint management’s ineffable ability to set the wrong priorities for itself, and make harmful strategic and tactical moves that waste the potential of its assets, from spectrum to partners. Verizon’s spectrum transactions and accompanying commercial arrangements with cable MSOs place Sprint’s path to establishing a competitive mobile broadband network (its Network Vision) in peril, while strengthening Verizon’s already formidable position against Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile.

SOPA and the wisdom of Yogi Berra

January 19, 2012

Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

“Déjà vu all over again.” The bitter brawl over the Stop Online Piracy Act, featuring blackouts by notable Internet sites and services, is eerily reminiscent of the battle 15 years ago over the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If the outcome can be the same – a negotiated compromise that protects copyrights, but does not endanger the fundamentally free nature of communications online – content providers, the information technology community, and the public will all be better off.
