said by fAcEtIOUs:Looks like the GigaOM news tip that Comcast is starting up a Wireless division is based purely on the fact that they hired an executive with wireless experience. It doesn't look like it is based on any other info. Looks like GigaOM has MODIFIED their story from that originally posted:
»gigaom.com/2008/04/23/comcast-is···ireless/
Hot on the heels of a report that Comcast will no longer offer Sprint’s wireless service through Pivot, GigaOM has learned that the cable company is creating its own wireless division and has hired the former CTO of Telefonica O2 Europe, Dave Williams, as the unit’s CTO SVP of wireless and technology strategy to “explore wireless options” for Comcast, according to the company. Williams apparently took on the role earlier this month, although no announcement has been made to that effect and Comcast has not responded to a request for comment.
A WiMAX joint venture, a buyout of Sprint or T-Mobile, or perhaps some crazy satellite scheme could justify the creation of wireless division at Comcast be some of the “options” Comcast is exploring.

With the stocks doing as WELL  as they are, did anyone entertain the thought of people make these "claims" just to see if they can "manipulate" the price? Look at big oil. When the prices don't seem to be going the direction of up.. someone "invents" a reason and up they go. When experts were saying the u.s. had PLENTY of fuel, all refineries were churning away, the price drops a couple of pennies at the pump. When experts say, there will be less demand due to less driving this spring/summer season, price stays level. Someone comes out and "speculates" there might NOW be more demand and BAM.. up it goes. No data to back it up, just speculation. So, investors here what they want to hear, as long as it's more money, faster, in their pockets. |
