You’ve probably heard about China’s colossal $600-billion stimulus package intended to jump-start its economy. But chances are you didn’t hear about the new $40-billion initiative by China’s wireless carriers to modernize the national network…

Relationship marketing is nothing new to the world of advertisers and marketers. Finding and developing a close tie with the targeted consumer is one of the easiest ways to build long term sales and loyalty.

The high-tech market is essentially divided into two sectors: commercial and consumer. One of them provides customers with an enlightened path to the meaning of life, while the other helps companies make money.

As our world becomes more obsessed with self-expression, I’ll stake my money on the meaning-of-life segment.

When it comes to tech, finding the meaning of life takes several paths. The ideal path is one of pure research into religious and ethical questions that help people define their goals, personality and place in the universe.

Then there’s the other path: adults and precocious kids with crib-bound minds afraid to be

NII Holdings, Inc. (NIHD), formerly known as Nextel International, is licensed to provide wireless services in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Peru.

The company reported stronger than expected results in the recent quarter which were highlighted by improvement in profitability driven by robust subscriber growth. NIHD announced intentions of higher capital spending in 2008 to expand the geographic coverage of its iDEN network. Overall demand for wireless services in Latin America remains strong and key growth markets, including Brazil and Mexico, offer financial growth opportunities.

Ongoing consolidation activities and aggressive deployments of next generation wireless services by competitors may foster higher customer churn moving forward. We take a conservative approach to valuation, maintaining our Hold recommendation until we are convinced with the sustainability of NIHDÂ’s earnings and overall financial momentum.
