Europe's big telcos and their spear-carriers (some large consultancies, industry organisations, lobbyists etc) appear to have won a crucial argument. Consolidation, rather than competition, looks likely to be favoured through the next phase of European telecoms infrastructure development. Does this mean that European telcos will become as gouging and uncompetitive as their highly profitable counterparts in the US. By I. D. Scales. (0)

The nub of the new CEO's new plan for Alcatel-Lucent is to husband dwindling cash reserves whist re-orienting the company as a "multi-specialist" organisation. The question then is how will it prevent itself from mutating back into a re-iteration of what it used to be: a generalist? By Martyn Warwick. (3)

The CEO of mobile phones manufacturer Nokia is aping Britain's discredited economic austerity policy by declaring that the only way is his way and that there if no Plan B for the foundering Finnish company. Angry investors are voicing increasing doubts about the man whose bath time pleasure is to rearrange the tiny deckchairs on his battered and soapy model of the Titanic. By Martyn Warwick. (0)

Strong, undenied rumours have it that this summer (should the UK and the US ever see such a season again), Vodafone will either sell its 45 per cent holding in Verizon Communications or merge with the US carrier. Both Verizon's and Vodafone's share prices are rising, and, in Vodafone's case anyway, it's high time it was. Martyn Warwick reports. (1)

A juicy dream perhaps but, in the hard light of day, an over-egged, sloppy, suety mess larded in cold-custard and garnished with envy. By Martyn Warwick (2)

And then there was one... what a farce! Fujitsu, knowing that it highly unlikely to win anything but a booby prize, has decided not to bother to bid for any of the UK taxpayer money available to bring broadband to benighted swathes of rural Blighty. Instead the incumbent telco, BT, will now get what remains of the £530 million that is still left on the table, always provided it can be bothered to turn up to claim the cash. Isn't competition wonderful? By Martyn Warwick. (1)

"It's capitalism Jim, but not as we know it". What a turn up for the books! The telecoms regulator in the Czech Republic, the CTU, has stopped the country's runaway mobile spectrum auction in its tracks - because it adjudges the bids as being TOO HIGH! By Martyn Warwick. (0)

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. It is with the most profound and deepest regret that TelecomTV has to report to a weeping world that Stephen Elop, the CEO of the floundering Finnish handset maker Nokia, was forced to take a 45 per cent wage cut in 2012. Martyn Warwick wonders how he managed to make ends meet on a mere €4.33 million. (0)

The FCC is keen to increase the amount of public WiFi spectrum (doubtless to make up for the lack of wireless competition in the US) and has given notice that it's going to 'unleash' another 196 megahertz. By I.D. Scales. (0)

Britain's beleaguered Finance Minister, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer and all round financial genius, having very publicly counted his chickens before they hatched, is left this morning with more than a billion pounds worth of egg on his face after the UK's "4G" spectrum auction raised much less than he had been expecting. It's the market, stupid! By Martyn Warwick. (0)

EE, the UK "4G" operator stitched together from Orange and T-Mobile, has released its results for 2012. They show that pre-tax losses (at £249 million) were more than double the 2011 loss of £113 million. Revenues were down by 1.9 per cent year on year while fewer subscribers signed up than they did in 2011. Yet this is presented as "solid commercial momentum" Martyn Warwick reports. (1)
