Things Will Get Worse Before They Get Better
A new survey of 39 senior telecom executives concludes that wireless infrastracture spending will be down 11% in 2002 from 2001. Things should pick up by 2003 when we can expect a 2% bump over 2002. If I recall, it's the senior telecom executives who killed the telecom sector in the first place with their unrealistic growth projections. So let's just add a year or two to their prediction and cut it in half.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
