Review: Get into fixed and play the IP space? How's this diff from the current proposed strategy? Sell VZW and buy BT to get into fixed? Doesn't BT have its own prob? Wouldn't this be trading down? Trading a winner for a loser, I mean. Buy T-mobile in US? Hmmm, maybe you own DT stocks. Trying to dump a loser, eh? Current strategy sounds fine to me, but I understand that shareholders are impatient because of the wild spending in the past. They want their money back. I'm a shareholder myself, but would disagree with all the suggetions thus far. I'd prefer to give the current strategy sufficient chance to play itself out. Then pull the trigger appropriately. If shareholders just want their money now, then I suggest seriously selling off everything. Then the only analysis that needs to be done is what is the most profitable way of selling...as one big chuck or small pieces.

Review: It is a mangement problem folks. Get real. It is a failed attempt at controlling everything from Newbury and taking away local responsibility. Local CEO's are supposed to lose sleep at night when market shares are falling, not on the plane in and out of UK discussing product No. 973 and a useless global promotion. Want evidence? Check market share development since 2002 in all of Vodafone's markets. As for Dean Bubley and all the other IP-freaks (EuroTelcoBlog, Anglero,etc): Get a job, you have been wrong for 10 years and will be wrong for the next 10, too.

Review: Vodafone must sell vz and return the money to the shareholders who have taken the brunt of it for the past 10 years. Leave the vz wireless to the U.S.and cocentrate on their own UK firms. Get it right this time.
