Tata Acquires Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford

July 26, 2007

A major passion of mine is automobiles but I rarely write about the subject. I a just learned India’s Tata will purchase Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford. This is pretty big news as it puts an Indian company behind a few important luxury brands. Jaguar has been struggling a great deal lately and it will be interesting to see how this acquisition plays out. This could also be a great distribution move for Tata as with this acquisition it gets dealers around the world which could theoretically help the company sell other Indian car brands as well.

Update: Thanks to commenter “annoyed visitor” for pointing out this news is not confirmed by Tata. My source did indicate this was a done deal but further research shows this may not be the case. My sincere apologies for any confusion this blog entry may have caused. However, it is worth pointing out this news may just be early, not inaccurate.

TMCnet Goes Twitter

July 4, 2007

It seems like if you are under 18 you spend a good deal of time twittering on well – Twitter. Since my typical reader is above 18 you may not be aware that Twitter is a service allowing you to send and receive messages via SMS on cell phones. People spend hours letting their friends know (in excruciating detail sometimes) about all aspects of their life. “I am going to have lunch.” “I am having a snack.” “I am sick,” are some of the things you may see while twittering. But if you get sick of twittering with friends and are interested in using Twitter to keep up with the latest (and best of course) communications and technology news and analysis, be sure to check twitter.com/tmcnet.

Sitting on the Tarmac -- NXTComm

June 19, 2007

Chicago weather has struck again and I am enjoying the hospitality of the American Airlines flight crew as we wait for the weather to improve. So far the delay is estimated to be 30 minutes. I hope to get to NXTComm eventually. Oh, and here are the details on the party.

On My Way to Meetings

June 12, 2007

This morning I chose to spend some time cleaning about 1,000 e-mails up and as such didn’t really have time to add color or commentary to anything happening in the industry. Yesterday, while driving I went through a few thousand more. It is just amazing how fast e-mail piles up when you are at trade shows. Tom Keating sent an e-mail recently about declaring e-mail bankruptcy which is what happens when you give up an e-mail account because you can’t deal with the influx of spam. Tom recently declared e-mail bankruptcy and switched e-mail addresses. Now I am on the way to my first meeting. More to come later.

Where is Rich Tehrani June 11, 2007?

June 11, 2007

Rich is traveling today and his fellow team members are nice enough to be driving while Rich types away in the back seat at a feverish pace. Currently Rich is on 95 south and has seen much of New Jersey already. He hopes to see another state or two before the trip is over. Traffic has been good except for about 30 minutes of rubber necking on the NJ Turnpike because of an absolutely horrific accident on the other side of the highway.

Traveling to New England

May 31, 2007

I must enjoy driving as I am at it again. This time in New England through a few states. One thing is for sure; whatever direction you go in there is pollen everywhere. We need some rain to clean up the air. This seems to be a record allergy season with many people who didn’t think they are allergic acting more lethargic and sneezing more than usual.

AA 366 Takes Off Again

May 24, 2007

I am on the new plane now after the ordeal we went through a few hours back. This flight has also been dubbed 366 and hopefully we will land in New York’s LaGuardia Airport safe and sound. One thing which seemed amazing about our last flight was after we landed my fellow passengers in the exit row said they wouldn’t have any idea what to do in an emergency. I explained that the flight attendants tell us before take off but we (myself included) are all sending e-mail while this takes place. Update: The crew decided not to join us on this new flight.
