 Vodophone 30 million losses in UK are a reminder that Telcoms can lose money
Vodophone 30 million losses in UK are a reminder that Telcoms can lose money also so Telcoms isnt for the faint hearted and is no sure bet and betting on Meteor mobile phones as a forever cash cow might be a mistake history shows the rapid changes wiped out the stuck in the muds telegraph companies of past era's
The change from telegraph with individual operators charging an arm and a leg for two sentence telegram through Voip and skyping all for hours at extremly low prices every day shows the Telcoms are in for turbulant future and bunkering down with the dog in the manger methods we have seen so far will lead to the total demise of Eicom from the planet unless somebody with a ability to actualy have vision foresight and suitable entepernuaral skills comes forth to run Eircom
As to if the way to solve the tecknical problems is to go totaly or partially fibre optics or wireless or some mix of these solutions and any newwer solutuions in the pipe line is for the Telcoms to figure out but as Eircom is still the dominant player it has abilty to set the pace for the next few years means that this can impact the total economy in that a broadband less and Telcom infrastructureless country could lose its economic edge and lose its overall wealth rapidly as the economic players investors exit stage left if the other countries supply much more better Telcoms services
Smart show some signs of become Eircoms replacement if Eircom opts to continue in its drifting rudderless policy seeing as BT with its nose a bit bloodied seems to have decided to exit the market for better picking in India or elsewhere
I personaly dont give a rats monkeys what the natonality or other tripe that goes with Babcock & Brown even having to listen to Aussie twang whatever it takes to see the Telcoms situation go from its present dark ages backward bordering on rug rats smoke signals and Tom Tom drums communications to a decent communications as at best the communications probably are less than 1% of the overall economy but with a bad communications we could lose half the economy overnight so its vital that either Eircom or Smart or BT or any other player would do the job correctly
Eircom seems the best placed but is standing on the edge of a cliff it has largly built with the last few years inefectual managment style and serious lack of vision or any misssion policy other than sell Eircom sell Eircom sell Eircom at the best price only logic
We might be lucky Babcock & Brown are set to the job correctly but we might not so time will tell but futher continued aimlesss drifting risks the entire economy if the Smarts and or BT and or similar competitors cant fill the VOID and for me the chances that BT a company thats has a even worse drifting policy in the UK could do the job here in Ireland properly dosnt seem likely to me
