why cook your lunch or dinner when you can get them for lower cost?

the same idea – why grow and manage the current company when buying a new company is cheaper with borrow money ? find low or Interest free loans !

when the banks, insurance and law companies are in the buying process the deal is near to the end or completed!

But even under the new management, things do not seem to be going well. In your blog you raise many interesting points: Just where is NT headed? Here are some general comments of mine. The 20% market share was supposed to be a target, not a standard. In selling the UMTS Access business, NT must have concluded it could not reasonably attain that target. Why is it that NT thinks the UMTS Core business is worth keeping? Aren't these products related? NT is passing along its UMTS Access customers to Alcatel. If Alcatel thinks it can succeed in that market why can't NT? More importantly, when Alcatel customers are ready for 4G, why should they retun to NT? Although NT hopes to be a leader in 4G, they have lost Sprint Nextel to Samsung. And Sprint Nextel is an existing customer of NT. By the way, Sprint Nextel expects to be up and running by 2008. Elsewhere I read that the spectrum auction for 4G is not taking place until 2008. Somehow, Samsung is making do with existing spectrum for its 4G. Although a number of analysts think that NT needs to get smaller to succeeed, others think it needs to bulk up. I think NT needs to be successful, and if it is it will naturally get bigger. Thakns for the opportunity to commnet. As someone born and raised in Toronto, I’d like to see NT revitalized. But even under the new management, things do not seem to be going well.
