These days the carriers are making their money on wireless and business services. So I think that that is where they will allocate their spending. You are already seeing these trends affect in the Telecom trade show space: http://blog.pr-vantage.com/?p=374.

The consumer side is more defensive versus the cable guys. But that may force them to allocate some resources to IPTV and video.

Looking at the photo of Ralph de la Vega I was struck with a feeling of deja vu. Then I remembered where I had seen him before. He looks just like the character “Higgins” (played by John Hillerman) in the Magnum P.I. TV series with Tom Selleck.

It’s actually uncanny how much they seem to look alike.
