Mike hired me and he is never wrong, i love him. I am the most brilliant person I know. All you naysayers will see when our stock gets to $50 after we dump MEN and Partner on LTE.

and point to note is Roese thinks 4G cannot be done on the present 3G infrastrcuture. duh! who do you think is going to rip out all that investment for shining knght in armor Nortel to come in with a 4G solution. it will be slow before it happens and if it does it will be the exisitng incumbents.

just license the technology. sell of CDMA as well. give it all to the Hackney guys. heck, maybe you little devils have already thought of doing that now.

read what he has to stay. blah blah. though he stole some words out of Cisco's playbook. Cisco started a marketing campaign on its website on collaboation, communication etc. for its human network pitch.

its a wonder how this guy comes with exactly the same pitch. no originality.

exnt,

Thanks for your comment. Metaphorically speaking perhaps they already are in jail. I have never seen as mush arrogance/pompousness in the Telco sector (from vendors) as I have in the last few years including unearned arrogance from Nortel’s CTO. Doesn’t pride goeth before the fall? Always does! –bb

broadbandbill,

Don't get too worked up. I see lots of arrogant/stupid/talkative/pompous telecom execs every month. If being arrogant/stupid/talkative/pompous was a crime, the whole telecom industry top level would be in jail.

Hey…..I'm from Italy. and I can tell you John Roese is right. In Italy, 2 mobiles (and contracts) per person is the norm. I might tell ya that, looking at kids, this might be even understimating the situation. Of course, this does not mean that every phone is generating a huge cash flow….but mobile companies in italy are the only business (with banks) with a 2 digits growt, in a country that is talking about recession.
