Ixia Shows Testing Not a Bad Place to be

November 13, 2010

The tech and communications markets have been generally stable and if anything a beacon of light in the turbulent waters of the general global economy. Specifically though the testing market is doing fairly well – if you are in the right segments of course. Let’s just say circuit switched testing isn’t going to be a hotbed of growth anytime soon.

One of the players in the market Ixia, has been aggressively consolidating the space and looking to become very well-rounded in the last few years acquiring the Catapult and Agilent N2X Data Line.

Tehrani on Future of Broadband

November 2, 2010

Thank you all for coming to hear my keynote speech at Broadband Expo 2010 in Dallas, Texas. I really enjoyed the dialogue during and after the presentation.

One point which has come up frequently in my writings in the past and was more clear than ever in my conversations - is that content is still king - in fact after the Fox Vs. Cablevision war we witnessed this past month - it seems obvious that content is now emperor.

Here is a PDF of the presentation.

Alcatel-Lucent: Mobile Data to be Sold at a Loss

October 27, 2010

Alcatel-Lucent has a dire warning for wireless carriers and investors… You just aren’t going to make money from wireless broadband. The timing couldn’t be better <sarcasm> to get the news as global carriers are pouring billions into their 4G networks.

What leads the company to this conclusion? The challenge is operators are starting to tier their pricing which means users can get on broadband networks less expensively – moreover, voice revenue is paying much of the carrier bill and as it declines in lockstep with the cost of data plans – carriers could be losing money for years to come.
