Grupo Televisa S.A. (TV) has decided to explore the wireless communications market. Televisa is the largest media company in Mexico as well as in the Spanish-speaking world. Its cable TV subsidiary Cablevision will start providing mobile phone services in Mexico from the first quarter of 2010. Televisa has already started its own telecom business. On May 9, 2007, the Mexican Ministry of Communication and Transportation granted Cablevision permission to offer fixed telephony services through its network. As of now, Cablevision offers digital cable television services, broadband Internet connection, high-definition television services and video-on-demand products.   Televisa is a dominant force in the Mexican media business. The company is almost a monopoly with around 70% of the Mexican open television market. Televisa has a stable customer base in many different areas, including television broadcasting, pay television network, publishing, and radio. Cablevision will try to leverage this long-established customer base ...

Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) yesterday reported revenues of $1.254 billion in the third quarter, down 3.4% year over year but up 20.6% sequentially and surpassed its previously provided guidance of sequential revenue growth in the range of 7% – 14%.

Product revenues came in at $1.19 billion, down 4.7% year over year but up 24% sequentially. License revenue came in at $59.5 million, up 33.9% year over year. The sequential growth in revenues was broad- based driven by a return to normal order patterns from customers and a number of new product ramps. In terms of end markets, growth in broadband communications was driven by growth in the broadband modems and digital set-top box end-markets. In the digital TV market, revenues were adversely impacted by one large customer losing market share in North America and some share loss with other customers.

In mobile and wireless targeted end markets, the company experienced revenue

Yesterday, Crown Castle International Corp. (CCI), a leading wireless tower operator in the U.S. and Australia , raised its third quarter fiscal 2009 financial outlook. Management stated that its Site rental revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will beat the company’s prior estimate. Earlier, Crown Castle predicted that the Site rental revenue during the third quarter will approximate within a range of $385 million-$390 million. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted in the $246 million-$251 million range. The company will report third quarter 2009 financial results on Nov 3.  We believe the primary reason for this upward revision of financial estimate is the increasing deployments of 3G/4G high-speed mobile voice, data, and video technology. It has become imperative for carriers to improve network quality, and coverage, in order to minimize customer churn. Increased wireless coverage, by using more tower space, is one of the major initiatives that carriers take to improve transmission quality. ...
