Bell Canada, the subsidiary of incumbent Canadian telecom carrier BCE Inc. (BCE), has reportedly accelerated the deployment process of its next-generation high-speed wireless network. The Canadian operator will begin commercial launch of the much anticipated 3G high speed packet access (“HSPA") network in November, ahead of the originally scheduled launch in February 2010.     The 3G HSPA network represents an upgrade to Bell Canada’s existing CDMA based wireless network and is set to emerge as the largest HSPA network in Canada . The company has collaborated with its Canadian peer Telus Corp. (TU) for sharing the expenditures (estimated to be US$1.05 billion) related to this advancement which will support a vast range of next-generation smartphones (including iPhone). Moreover, Bell Canada has signed a North American roaming agreement with AT&T (T).   Bell Canada is expediting the HSPA network launch as the company targets to leverage ...

For Immediate Release

Chicago, IL – August 6, 2009 – Zacks Equity Research highlights DIRECTV (DTV) as the Bull of the Day and BJ's Restaurants, Inc. (BJRI) the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), Tata Teleservices (TCL) and NTT DoCoMo (DCM).

Full analysis of all these stocks is available at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2676

Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:

Bull of the Day:

DIRECTV (DTV) is set to continue generating healthy free cash flow and earnings growth, with reduced cap ex requirements, healthy ARPU and vigorous growth in its U.S. and Latin American operations. The company's HD lead should defend its market share, bolster ARPU and help stem decelerating subscriber growth.

We think the HD roll-out with the RBOCs as partners will defend DTV's market share against cable's ability to offer video,

DIRECTV (DTV) is set to continue generating healthy free cash flow and earnings growth, with reduced cap ex requirements, healthy ARPU and vigorous growth in its U.S. and Latin American operations. The company's HD lead should defend its market share, bolster ARPU and help stem decelerating subscriber growth.

We think the HD roll-out with the RBOCs as partners will defend DTV's market share against cable's ability to offer video, voice and data ("triple play"), which together with recently tightened credit standards have been impeding subscriber growth. Longer term, we view the IP-TV roll-outs by AT&T and Verizon as serious threats, but those that won't be fully realized for several years.

Near-term, we expect satellite and cable TV will be relatively defensive recession investments, suffering less subscriber attrition in the recession than other forms of entertainment, and DIRECTV in particular should benefit from its recent efforts to weed out its lower-end customers

Maintain Positive Outlook (Changed from Neutral March 2009)

Based on extreme industry weakness in late 2008 and early 2009, we believe valuation levels now reflect remedial conditions in the economy. Depressed stock prices foster more favorable entry points at this juncture as government stimulus plans and restricted operating expenses may drive opportunities for improved earnings.

Telecom companies are starting to report minimal financial improvements in terms of revenue and earnings levels. In addition, economic stimulus plans throughout the world, including the U.S. broadband infrastructure development program -- and similar structural subsidies in China and India -- may be a boon for selected service providers and equipment manufacturers.

Telecom carriers and equipment providers that offer the most attractive opportunities are focused on third-generation (3G) wireless, broadband (DSL) and fiber-to-the-home/node networking. There are also a few market leaders that have proven able to survive the sometimes turbulent opportunity swings in the industry.

It is our belief
