I recently spoke at a Windstream meeting and helped them think about the changing industry and what's coming next. Preparing for that speech opened my eyes to how fast this company -- and, in fact, the entire industry sector -- is changing. ...
Will Stephen Elop, the new Nokia CEO, be able to turn the company around? That is the question. It all depends on what he does -- this is a big job. He has to focus on transforming not only the technology, but also the brand. He has to reinvent Nokia's image in the mind of the customer. Will it work? Will Nokia be able to re-energize with new leadership, or is it in the process of passing the torch to the next generation of competitors? ...
"The G2 is not as revolutionary as the G1," said Jeff Kagan, an independent wireless telecom industry analyst. "I don't think it's going to rock the world. This will be a winner, but it won't be a breakthrough device." A Google Phone...
I love smartphones, but I have not found the perfect one yet. I have tried countless devices for years. I come close, but I've never settled on the perfect phone -- and trust me, I have tried many. The good news is there are many great features to choose from. The bad news is they are all on different devices. Trying to find one device with all the features you love seems to be an impossible task.
Intel has focused solely on the computer business for so long, we forget it can pursue other avenues of growth as well. Tomorrow, all our devices will be connected and talk to each other and share information. In that new world, Intel has been looking around for another business to acquire to help expand its reach. ...
This is one of the times of the year that wireless and telecom CEOs invite me to speak at an upcoming meeting of directors or executives or employees or customers. Over the years, I have learned they have one of the toughest jobs. First, they have to accurately see the changing industry. Second, they have to understand how their company must change. Third, they must bring everyone else up to speed.
About 15 years ago, I had an office next door to Barry Green. At the time, our businesses had nothing in common. I was a wireless analyst and he was in healthcare. I recently got a call out of the blue from Barry asking for my help in evaluating an opportunity. When I took a look at what he was doing, I realized the world has changed dramatically. Suddenly, our previously unrelated businesses of wireless and healthcare were crashing together.
Indeed, "this was supposed to be the device that allowed RIM to punch their way back onto the relevance map, but instead it looks like it is turning into a better version of the same old tired device," telecom and wireless analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times 'Not Enou...
After giving a speech, I was asked a question that got me thinking. Many of you may be wondering about this too. AT&T and Comcast have two of the strongest brand names in the business -- so why in the world are they both suddenly changing them? What are we, as customers and investors, not aware of? ...

"I really think this proposal is just a starting point," said telecom analyst Jeff Kagan. "The FCC has tried to make this work between the two sides and didn't get anywhere," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Having Google and Verizon come together might be what does the trick."
"The line has been drawn in the sand," telecom and wireless analyst Jeff Kagan told TechNewsWorld. "RIM, which never had to answer to anyone, now has to answer to this government if they want to continue doing business over there." RIM is "a strong company with many happy cust...
Before dismissing either a deal between Google and Verizon or an FCC-led consensus out of hand, it would be wise to at least see what they offer, telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times "Net neutrality has been discussed and hit back and forth like a tennis ball d...
New use cases will continue to emerge, pushing handset manufacturers to provide more capable hardware, observed independent telecom industry analyst Jeff Kagan "We're going to see more and more of these really hot ideas that require a very fast network," he told TechNewsWorld....
Research In Motion held an unusual meeting in New York City on Tuesday. What was unusual was that it held the meeting. This is very unlike RIM. It introduced a new device called the "BlackBerry Torch 9800" and a new operating system. ...
It is a confusing situation, telecom and wireless analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times "Perhaps this is about a government's worry about too much freedom of information in the hands of the people and what that could possibly mean for their way of governing," Kagan sugg...
With the Android Market "exploding" in popularity, "these are exciting times for users, but it can also be like the wild, wild west," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told LinuxInsider "It is exciting, and you can find apps to do most anything, but that does not mean these apps are ...
AT&T Mobility and Apple iPhone have been successful together, but every coin has two sides. The other side has been a wireless data logjam. Could that problem finally be getting under control? ...
