Analysis of:Nortel Patent Auction Benefits LTE Market | www.isuppli.com

We analyzed the essentiality of Nortel's 4G patent portfolio that are crucial to deriving premium royalty rates. We have conducted multiple patent searches at several patent databases. We then compare Nortel's IPR position against its peers and the corresponding royalty rates that Nortel’s peers are expecting to charge. We obtained the reasonable royalty rates for Nortel over a lifespan of 15 years for LTE. We then calculate the valuation of Nortel's patents.

July 22, 2010

Due to the World Fair, FIFA World Cup events in Q2, Wall Street may be expecting a fantastic quarter for Soho due to increased online advertisement revenue. However, from our measurement data, the impact from the FIFA event on Sohu's online advertisement revenue is far short of our expectations. FIFA's impact on the month of June applies to Sina and other online advertisement firms as well.

July 22, 2010

Analysis of:Harbinger forges $7B LTE pact with Nokia Siemens | www.fiercewireless.com

A nationwide, wholesale, terrestrial-satellite, mobile broadband network – one that uses a globally endorsed LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology. A vision - imbued with an inherent openness and possibilities - unencumbered by walled-gardens and the status quo. The twin motivating factors of high-speed, and high-capacity, coupled with mobility are significant pillars in the inexorable demand for connectivity to multimedia services, in the information age.

3G Handsets and LTE

July 13, 2010

By May, China had 20 million 3G customers, according to data from operators. China Mobile held 9.3 million while China Unicom saw the largest monthly increase for WCDMA with more than 1 million. In part growth is propelled by handset selection, price cut and subsidies. If the momentum can hold, there is a possibility 3G users will reach 35 million by year’s end. During the past two years, 3G projection has been scaled down from 120 million to a subdued 50 million and downward as June passed.

Telecom Pragmatics' Hardball: What Market Recovery?

June 27, 2010

While both AT&T and Verizon have indicated that their CAPEX budgets are flexible (translate that to mean cuts) they have tried to remain active in building out wireline networks, according to Telecom Pragmatics.   However, it has become increasingly clear that the recovery forecasted for this year is not happening in any substantial manner.  The latest blow to both companies came with the announcement that the secondary housing market lost ground in the last month.

Anxiety over network convergence (NC) is finally settled. After a long wait in more than a decade and turf wrestling for a month, NC in China is seeing some light at the end of the tunnel but its outlook is far from clear.

Telecom Pragmatics’ Hardball: Infinera’s Choice

June 12, 2010

To continue to pursue 40G on a PIC would not allow Infinera to make the statement that “this change is neutral to OpEx in 2010, and we intend to continue to bring R&D as a percent of revenue down year over year assuming moderate revenue growth.”  At the same time, there will be a price to pay in terms of customers’ confidence in the future development of the chip.   On the positive side, Infinera continues to offer novel solutions for problems from the engineers’ perspective.

Winners of New TD-SCDMA Bid

June 9, 2010

China Mobile (CMC) reportedly will begin extended trials of TD-LTE, commonly called 4G, after the World Expo. However, it would be mistaken to assume the operator is abandoning TD-SCDMA, a Chinese version of 3G which remains sluggish after nearly two and half years. The market is growing but not at the pace CMC had hoped to see. By the end of April, the latest figure available, CMC added 713,000 new TD-SCDMA customers to a total 8.4 million.

Telecom Pragmatics’ Hardball: Intel $ Directly Tied to Clearwire City Turn-Ups?

June 4, 2010

It seems that how much money Clearwire gets from Intel depends on how many cities it turns up at a particular time, according to Telecom Pragmatics.   Evidently, the wireless carrier has a clear incentive to penetrate more cities rather than fewer. Therefore, there could be an increased chance of Clearwire overextending itself in the market.

May 30, 2010

The first 25 to 30 4G cities are expected to be operating by second quarter of 2011 for Verizon Wireless, according to Telecom Pragmatics.  Mainly the FiOS cities, including those outside of its incumbent landline territory, will be targeted.   In the past, we have written about the long-term strategic importance of Verizon ultimately tying its LTE network with FiOS.
