AT&T, Verizon and Sprint Tell Different Truths

Which wireless provider is doing the best job? Listening to them gets confusing. It's like me saying that I am the slimmest, healthiest and best-looking wireless analyst on this airplane (I'm flying to the west coast to give a speech). Now that line has as much truth in it as a load of horse manure -- but technically, since I am the only wireless analyst on this plane, I guess it is true. Listening to the major wireless providers strut their stuff is much like that -- and that is the problem we have to solve.

Riding the Wave to Success

As I travel and speak at meetings around the country, one of the key topics that has been capturing a lot of attention is something I call "the Wave." This seems to be as interesting to the audience as it is to the executives who invited me to speak. In fact, I am often invited back to spend some one-on-one time with company leaders to discuss it further. I have been speaking for 25 years, and this seems to have hit a chord. Everyone wants to hear more. So what is the Wave to success all about? Let me give you a brief introduction.

However, we always see companies either doing well or struggling because they just don't get it. A look at a few of today's winners and losers may reveal why this is so.

A Whiff of Trouble Brewing at Verizon

Verizon has shown solid growth in recent years, but there could be signs of weakness in its quarterly numbers. I saw this a few months ago and decided to keep my eye on it. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this is nothing. Maybe it is a temporary blip that won't keep repeating itself -- but something doesn't seem right. Verizon seems to be having some problems, especially compared with AT&T. So what is happening, and should we be getting worried? ...
