Forrester Research has named Cingular Wireless the “frontrunner” in each of its three key areas of evaluation: current offering, market presence and strategy. Which sounds good, but I’m concerned about this statement: “Cingular Wireless was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its Forrester Wave(TM) report.” A brief search on the Forrester website didn’t yield any obvious candidates for the research mentioned, so I couldn’t find which other “select companies” were used in the research.
In Italy, Ericsson has signed an exclusive managed services contract with Hutchison’s H3G Italy, which will involve the transfer of around 750 employees from H3G Italy to Ericsson. In 2003 the Australian arms of Hutchison and Ericsson made a similar deal, which seemed to work well.
