Were not expecting any miracle soon.
Fred Sears
We're going to see the same thing happen in technology and telecom. Balance sheet constraints and problems are going to drive a lot of consolidation.
John Orrico
Our advice is to go with sectors and areas where there are tangible variables for people to see. Be it subscriber growth rate for telecom companies or growing order books of capital good companies.
Ratnesh Kumar
Of all the names in telecom, only one has the history of AT&T. AT&T was the name of the phone company since we were kids, and in fact since our parents and our grandparents were kids. It would have been sad and a waste of all that historic brand value.
Jeff Kagan
There's a heavy flow to some telecom shares that are seen as cheap compared with other sectors.

Jason James
I realize that the best telecom portfolio Vodafone can buy is the Mannesmann portfolio, ... However, we at Mannesmann have another constituency -- to the Mannesmann shareholder. Our shareholders don't want (Vodafone's combination of) low-growth and minority participation in the United States.
Klaus Esser
When BT entered the Japanese market in 1985, our ambition was to become a strong force in the world's second largest telecommunications market, which is worth about $100 billion a year. This deal will allow Japan Telecom to become the number one challenger in Japan.
Sir Peter Bonfield
Competition is going to rear its ugly head as companies cross over into each other's territory, ... Price has always been the key focus for telecom. It's a commodity business.

Timm Bechter
They supply almost all the largest telecom companies in the world with some of the backbone products for voice messaging and things of that nature, ... This stock has surprised analysts -- met or exceeded analyst expectations for 20 straight quarters.
Tony Dwyer
China Telecom is suffering selling pressure this morning, but otherwise selling is not too strong.
Dennis Leung
The telecom equipment sector, and wireless communications, in particular, has very huge swings in relative valuation, depending on the comfort level that investors have in a company. The pace at which we believe the margin improvement will occur in mobile phones is not at the level that we had anticipated. On the infrastructure side of the business, we are still optimistic.
Alex Cena
The difficulty will be in monetizing wireless technology. For the telecom companies it's great because it's more minutes being spent on the phone, but for the content providers it becomes harder to get people to part with their money.
Rajeev Gupta
From a financial model these companies look a lot like a telecom.
Brooks Dexter
I don't believe that had any impact at all, ... Tiger was famously 'anti' the technology, media and telecom sectors -- and the [tech] sector was marked down today, while the traditional sectors were marked up.
Jerry Lucas
[The Republican victory last week probably did not alter the outlook much for either side.] The giants in the industry are matched up against the giants in the telecom community, ... It's a fair fight.
Adam Thierer
Fund managers are asserting that a slowdown in telecom spending is here for foreseeable future. As far as investors needing a dedicated technology fund in their portfolio, it's not essential because many growth funds will give the exposure and diversification they need, without the risk.
Catherine Benz
On Saturday, we were broken into groups and each group was taken to a different place, so there would be a few waiting to see the judges, a few with RTÉ rehearsing for the talent piece and different girls on different photo shoots. I went to Smart Telecom to the hot-air balloon for mine and then to the French Market. I had a lovely morning and then my interview was in the afternoon.
Aoibhinn Ni Shúilleabháin
The telecom sector was back in reckoning this year with consolidation in full swing. The top three deals of the year, accounting for 20 percent of total deal value, were all from the telecom sector.
Sridar Swamy
LignUp is one of the players in an industry value chain that increasingly differs from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century.

Jeff Pulver

People may chase telecom and energy shares that suffered the most due to the controversy.
Rakpong Chaisuparakul
If technologically and economically feasible, it is unlikely that providers will only offer high-speed Internet access. Most telecom revenues are derived from voice and data-centric providers who ignored voice have had a hard time of making ends meet.
Lisa Pierce
I think (telecom exposure) is an issue that's going to be with us for a while, but I think the stocks are discounting the expectations.
Murray Leith Jr
It's hard to find someone with a more extensive resume than Dave Dorman in telecom.
Blair Levin
These bids have not been driven by an overarching vision or an attempt to foster innovation in the industry. They have been largely driven by attempts to leverage the cash flow of European telecom operators.
Lars Godell
It's very difficult to track. They don't have one place for all their telecom inventory, so there are lots of Post-it notes and manual processes, and it's virtually impossible for them to audit the bills because they barely keep up with them, much less make sure they're accurate.
Vincent Brennan
What you are seeing is a shift away from e-commerce and back to the plumbing of the Internet. The telecom sector and software are doing quite well as are DSL, broadband and fiber optics. Most of them are retooling to enter the fiber optic age.
Tracy Lefteroff
I think it's fair to say that this project is going to revolutionize the telecom market in Sierra Leone. It will also put the country at the forefront of broadband. They will be able to offer world-class service, at very high speed.
Moshe Levin
Today's telecom operators no longer need to build a brand new network for each new application. What they do need immediately is to develop an IP-based next-generation network, or IP NGN, which can adapt to present and future applications. Cisco CRS-1 is helping operators advance the development of IP NGN, so that all current and future applications can be integrated on one network.
Thomas Lam
CFOs understand it's a large expense, and they say it's a top-five expense for [them]. But most banks will readily admit and acknowledge that telecom expense is complex, it's dynamic, and it's changing all the time. And they don't have their arms around it.
Vincent Brennan
The [telecom] companies simply are just not spending on networks right now because they're short of cash.
Richard Windsor
There's a panicky feeling that the telecom weakness could spread across tech in general.
Tim Heekin
We're in close cooperation with China Telecom and China Netcom in preparing for 3G. We're also in development of service networks for China Telecom.
Mats Olsson

John Abel
If you take Telecom out of the equation, the next highest volume would be Sky City, which is coming in for some pretty strong demand at the moment.
Grant Williamson
There is a need to reduce telecom competition but there are greater opportunities in wireless than long-distance.

Renato Vercesi
There have been important changes in the telecom industry in the last two years and it is not realistic to expect that a regulatory instrument signed two years ago include these changes, ... I am open to studying those measures that are necessary after the (Antimonopoly) Commission rules.
Carlos Cruz
The emerging opportunity for DECT-based technology in North America was a key factor in our acquisition of KIRK telecom.

Dan's highly successful track record in sales leadership with world-class enterprise software companies is impressive, ... With Dan on the team, we are confident that his sales execution strategies will help increase our market share in the growing telecom expense management space.
Mark Logan
Long term, they've built a great business model and there's a lot of verticals they can go into, including financial services, telecom, and they have international opportunities, so there's a lot of growth opportunity and huge markets for the company.
Michael Legg
So I rang up British Telecom, I said 'I want to report a nuisance caller', he said 'Not you again'.
Frank Carson
The telecom industry in general and Nortel in particular are facing an enduring prospect of low growth.
Duncan Stewart
There is probably not going to be a recovery until 2003. I expect the suffering to continue and impact most of the telecom stocks.
Pip Coburn
I accepted the challenge that the Chinese market was not going to be wide open, and I knew the telecom industry was a monopoly, but I believed that I understood the system and background of China better than other overseas investors.
James Shen
Positive news flow from Cisco's carrier business surfaced last week with two wins from China Telecom and Global Crossing. We believe the company is beginning to regain momentum in the core router business. In our view, Cisco can stabilize this business over the next several quarters.
Christopher Stix
Most of what I own in telecom is not traditional telecom.
Henry Hewitt
Major overseas telecom players are increasingly looking beyond their home markets in the face of flat growth.
Kobita Desai
We are grateful to Hawaiian Telecom for providing us this unique opportunity to commemorate our centennial while showcasing the talent of our university community.

Theresa Wise
They've taken some of these stocks down to really low valuation levels in tech and telecom and the leaders are going to come out ahead of the game, ... This is an opportunistic environment for any of those companies that have cash and are looking to acquire technology.
Tony Dwyer
Telecom, coupled with buoyant global markets has seen buying re-enter the New Zealand market.
Murray Rutherford

In the midst of a severe telecom industry re-set that is leaving no participant unscathed, Alcatel has thus far been able to maintain revenue growth and deliver positive income from operations.
Serge Tchuruk
3Com has not been immune to the trends affecting the telecom sector, ... However, we believe this sector has substantial long-term growth opportunities and we are investing accordingly. In addition, our Commercial and Consumer Networks business posted a second consecutive quarter of sequential sales growth.
Bruce Claflin
We are pleased to welcome American Telecom Services to the American Stock Exchange. An initial public offering is an important step for any company to take, and we are pleased American Telecom has opted for the specialized services we at the Amex offer to emerging companies.
John Mcgonegal
Telecom operators in China have developed a clear business model for streaming mobile video services over a 2.5G or 3G network. But unclear regulations need to be straightened out so responsibilities and value chain positioning can be settled; otherwise, market development will be inhibited.
Anty Zheng
It definitely signals that it's having a significant impact on the (telecom) market.
Clayton Moran
The market's a bit higher on China Telecom again because investors are quite bullish on the acquisition but I doubt the market will continue to rise because many people are sidelined, awaiting the FOMC decision.
George Chan
This is a fair listing keeping in mind the Reliance pedigree. It is a strong option for investors in the telecom space.
Rajesh Jain
We have some very positive points at Alcatel, such as in fast Internet access and optical gear, ... I keep hearing that the European market is going to slow down in telecom and the like and, frankly, I don't believe it.
Serge Tchuruk
The problem with telecom is not only that it's going through the same economic issues as the rest of the market, but that it's also an industry in transition. Five years ago, AT&T's primary competitors were MCI and Sprint, and now it's the Bells and cable companies. Investors aren't sure what the industry is going to look like and which horse to put their $2 bet on.
Jeff Kagan
There's nothing in this statement that we didn't already know, ... Telecom operators have not been spending and six months ago we thought Marconi would go bust. Its priority is to cut debt.
Mark Tinker
I don't really see a recovery in the service providers that would be doing the buying of telecom equipment for quite some time. They need to consolidate and address their pricing structure. They might not be healthy until 2004.
Jaye Morency
We're not merging these companies against France Telecom.
Ron Sommer
The telecom industry is not special. There's nothing that needs to be specially built.
Keith Willetts
We were one of the early investors in the Indian telecom sector and have enjoyed a very fruitful association with Hutchison.
Uday Kotak
It is a unique opportunity for France Telecom to participate in the development of innovative and convergent services combining telephony, digital TV and the Internet with one of the largest alternative telecom companies in the UK.
Michel Bon
China Telecom is weaker because attention is on Unicom. Overall the market is still consolidating because there is still no clear direction.
Dennis Leung
It's clear that Voice over IP ... now competes on a more equal footing with traditional telecom services.
Alan Balutis
It has been more stable than most stocks out there, but in the telecom environment -- as it develops with rapidly increasing regulatory and rapidly increasing technology changes -- AT&T will definitely be less stable than it's been.
Richard Klugman
The telecom market overall has been strong and a lot of the traditional carriers have been showing solid growth, ... We think that will continue.
Richard Klugman
The wireless telecom sector is facing a difficult transition right now, ... The competitive advantages of a year ago have become less meaningful.
Fred Moran
From a practical perspective, any telecom manufacturer has to have a big position in China.
Nick Ingelbrecht
Network security and the ability to operate in the face of disaster are some of the top concerns for integrated communications providers. In today's converged telecom market, security solutions are more critical than ever before and Telecom NEXT is the only place to see the latest advances in network security.
John Abel
The rally this morning couldn't hold up because there's just no conviction. There's some selling pressure there, but it's more that buyers have no religion. Tech and telecom are this huge drag on the market. People are buying very defensively in health care, chemicals, consumer products and pharmaceuticals.
Tim Heekin
Telecom service providers worldwide are following Asia's lead in preparing their networks for Voice over IP, and they are clearly picking up the pace of deployment. The most notable acceleration has come from European service providers. They have stimulated tremendous demand for broadband access over the past year or two, and now they are preparing for the next step of Voice-over-Broadband.
Steve Raab
This turns the entire telecom industry picture on its head.
Jeff Pulver
I don't know Deutsche Telecom very well, but in discussions with our European analysts, it appears Sprint is a better fit.
Jeffrey Hines
This was an extremely difficult decision, but necessary in light of the very challenging telecom environment and our need to operate as cost-effectively as possible.
Greg Maffei
The giants in the industry are matched up against the giants in the telecom community. It's a fair fight.
Adam Thierer

Paul Gallant
If you look at the structure of the telecom industry, this is the natural next step.
Perry Kamel
This is a real landmark in the history of China's telecom industry.
Francis Cheung
Poor disclosure laws in nearly half the states, including Utah, make it difficult to get a true picture of all [telecom] industry spending. But this survey still provides a pretty good snapshot of what is taking place.
John Dunbar
The big blue chips like China Telecom and Hutchison have been oversold in the past few days so they're attracting bargain hunting.
George Chan
It's so rare for anything in the telecom sector to show any kind of growth, but they're taking it away from AT&T and MCI and the Baby Bells.
Donna Jaegers
Is it going to change the world of telecom immediately or over the next three years? No. But it is an indication that the cable operators will be serious competitors in the telecom market.
Michael Paxton
France Telecom has to reassure the markets that it didn't overpay for Orange and show investors it is serious about reducing its debt.
Nigel Hawkins
There is no way Olivetti is going to get [Telecom Italia] at the current price. They will have to pay 15 to 20 percent more.
Jonathan Shantry
People are getting out of telecom equipment and seeking out more defensive areas. Chip and software stocks are seeing some interest but very, very selective buying as the recovery there is fragile.
John Hatherly
We would certainly like to see telecom companies train their service people to be better at solving problems instead of being better salespeople.
John Breyault
The combination would be phenomenal. MCI WorldCom has every global service offering of telecom service except for one -- wireless.
Jim Friedland
He has a real conviction as to how the telecom market and technology are going to evolve, and a real conviction on what his company needs to do to remain competitive.
Roger Altman
Considering the current economic environment and tightening of capital within the telecom sector, we are projecting growth in revenues and earnings per share from operations in 2001 over 2000 of 30 percent.
Frank Dunn
Although other companies have reduced guidance in the past several days as well, WorldCom has nearly 100 percent exposure to the long-distance industry, which is experiencing the brunt of the severe difficulty in the telecom industry.
Anthony Ferrugia
I believe this is tied to a recession, maybe a mild recession, but a recession in that the amount of revenue reported by telecom suppliers and dot.com companies will be lower.
William Schrader
IMS technology will play a big role in determining how communications service providers develop and deploy next-generation networks. The IDC Shoot Out on the Telecom NEXT exhibit floor will be a great place to compare the latest IMS products from some of the world's leading technology companies.
John Abel
It is about the boundaries between telecom, IT (information technology) and video breaking down ... because video is absolutely fundamental to all these companies ... so what Cisco did makes a huge amount of sense to me.
Frank Dangeard
By integrating these operations under a single management structure, we are bringing the strengths and capabilities of each of our four operating companies into a single, one-stop-shop operator. Together with this, Jordan Telecom Group will expand its portfolio of services in Jordan and also throughout the Middle East region.
Laurent Mialet
We want to become a long-term player leading the transformation of the industry with sufficient scale to challenge BT (British Telecom).
Francesco Caio
This turns the entire telecom industry picture on its head, and demonstrates that voice, presence, text messaging and other IP-based applications will be essential for the company of the future.
Jeff Pulver
Both stocks are still clouded by this uncertainty over China's plan to change telecom service charges.
David Williamson
It's a potentially huge market, but it's not a developed market. Telecom companies [in the U.S.] are bullish on China. They've been ahead of schedule for equipment manufacturing. But I don't know about the near term. China is still laying down phone lines.
Aydin Tuncer
Having a wireless play has been essential for anyone who wants to be a full-service telecom player. Sprint is not going to have any problems finding a buyer if this deals falls through.
Graham Finnie
Michael brings them recognition, ... There is virtually no telecom or business leader in the world that won't take his call.
John Stanton
Investors are optimistic about the Hong Kong and China story with the recent news on new initial public offerings and restructuring in the telecom sector.
David Williamson
Telecom infrastructure got beat up so much after 2000 and now going forward, there's some stabilization and near-term demand. It shows you there are cycles.
Ren Zamora
The directories business is not going away. But everything telecom related is in a state of flux.
Jeff Kagan
This will give service providers and users a consistent interface, with the same look and feel, across multiple devices. We're excited about working with HP on this because of its experience in the telecom sector.
