Telecom Turns Tempting
from the telecom's-not-dead;-it's-only-resting dept
Well, well, well. Venture capitalists who haven't returned all their money have to invest it somewhere, and these days, telecom companies are apparently starting to look good again. Of course, that's after billions and billions of dollars were flushed down the drain the past couple of years, but really, that just "cleared out the competition". It's also done something else important: made plenty of valuable infrastructure available for pennies on the dollar. Call it the salvage-shop method of investing. Find the industries where everything is cheap from the last collapse.
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
