U.S. Telecom and Cable Credit Profiles to Weaken in 2009
Debt ratings agency, Fitch has issued a report where it says it believes that growing event risk associated with economic, competitive and regulatory pressures will weaken the credit profile of most operators within the U.S. telecommunications and cable sector in 2009. Growing unemployment, continuing home foreclosures, the acceleration of cord-cutting, evolution of wireless smart-phone-based data services, and a changing regulatory environment with a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) make-up and key regulatory programs up for reform represent some of the challenges to the industry in 2009. more

Alltel: Ahead of the market - and Verizon Wireless
The United StatesĂ' fifth largest wireless carrier, alltel, has outpaced the market for the second successive quarter in Q2 2008, registering customer growth of 2.4%, up from 1.5% in 2007. At first glance the result might appear to be true as a sole result of Sprint NextelĂ's worsening fortunes, as the US number three recorded its fourth successive net loss of connections in the three month period to June. However, whilst this is a factor, none of the other three large operators came up to scratch in Q2 as far as alltel was concerned, with Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile only managing growth of 2.2% and AT&T 2.1%. The total base ended Q2 08 at 13.49m. more
