Editor's Corner: 2013 Wireless industry nightmares Also Noted: Fierce Innovation Awards 2013: Telecom Edition Spotlight On... European operators see LTE Broadcast in their future Sprint wary of Verizon Wireless' proposal to narrow anti-collusion rules; Sony's mobile sales jump and much more... They said what??!? Top wireless executive quotes of 2013 It's no secret that the vast majority of what wireless executives say in public is not surprising. Usually it's a recitation of phrases, talking points and ideas they have made in the past that they are simply reinforcing. However, every once in a while, in an interview or unguarded moment, wireless executives can let loose a whopper: Special report Follow us News From Across the Wireless Industry: 1. AT&T, Cisco and others to demo live Next Generation Hotspot Wi-Fi network 2. Sprint sparks Nokia's network resurgence 3. Intel ships multimode LTE modem, unveils LTE module 2013 Wireless industry nightmares Today is Halloween, so it's time to pull out your costumes, light up your jack-o-lanterns, turn on a horror movie or two--and of course, go trick-or-treating (either by yourself or… with your kids). It's also time to take a light-hearted break from the third-quarter earnings season rush: Just like we did in 2012 and 2011, FierceWireless in 2013 has taken a look inside the minds of some of the industry's top executives to see what really scares them. These nightmares are scenarios that could plausibly come to pass within the next year. Looking back at our nightmares from 2012, some of our imagined nightmares decidedly did not come to life. Leap Wireless (NASDAQ:LEAP) did indeed find a buyer in AT&T (NYSE:T). On the other hand, our nightmare scenario for BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) CEO Thorsten Heins was that carriers would choose Windows Phone 8 over BlackBerry 10--something that appeared to be borne out in the second quarter. So read on to find out this year's batch of executive nightmares. And take note of the number of jack-o-lanterns--the more pumpkins, the more nightmarish the scenario. Also, to be clear, we are not predicting that these scenarios will happen, only that they could happen. Some are certainly more plausible than others. These are worst-case scenarios--hence, they are nightmares. And feel free to comment with your own wireless nightmares. --Phil Read more about: Wireless nightmares, BlackBerry back to top | | Today's Top News 1. Sprint Spark to combine LTE in 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz and 2.5 GHz, will offer 50-60 Mbps peak speeds Sprint (NYSE:S) announced it will brand its forthcoming tri-mode LTE service as "Sprint Spark," and said it will bring the service to the top 100 U.S. markets during the next three years with speeds capable of reaching 50-60 Mbps and perhaps faster. | Sprint's first tri-band LTE devices will be the HTC One max, LG G2, Samsung Galaxy Mega and Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. | The company made the announcement after holding a media event at its innovation center in Burlingame, Calif., where it demonstrated 1 Gbps over-the-air speed in its labs. Sprint said Spark is essentially wireless service that will work via the combination of its 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz and 2.5 GHz LTE spectrum. The technology will combine Sprint's FDD-LTE network in its 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz spectrum and its planned TD-LTE network in its 2.5 GHz spectrum. Sprint also said it would use carrier aggregation technology in the 2.5 GHz band to implement Spark. The HTC One max, LG G2, Samsung Galaxy Mega and Samsung Galaxy S4 mini will be Sprint's first tri-band phones. The carrier said it will release all but the One max on Nov. 8; Sprint said the HTC gadget will be released soon thereafter. The first markets with limited availability of Sprint Spark will be Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Tampa. Sprint spokeswoman Kelly Schlageter told FierceWireless that customers in these markets who use Sprint tri-band LTE devices can expect real-world peak speeds of 50-60 Mbps, though it's unclear how widely available the service will be. She said that over time, depending on the market, peak speeds could be increased beyond that if Sprint uses multiple instances of carrier aggregation to create wider spectrum channels. In interviews with reporters, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse made clear that with Sprint Spark will allow Sprint to continue to offer unlimited data plans. He also said the company does not have plans to charge customers different rates based on speed--yet. "Right now the answer is we're not planning to segment based upon speed," Hesse said, according to The Verge. However, Hesse left the door open for such pricing, noting "we may and there are regulatory issues in doing that as well, but it's possible we could." Hesse also said that Sprint is open to the idea of toll-free data plans, including the idea of certain applications not counting toward a customer's data bucket. As for whether that might run up against net neutrality rules, Hesse said: "[Wireless spectrum] it is a finite resource... but again I'm a carrier guy so it's hard for me to even understand, it truly is and I've been looking at 'net neutrality' for a long time. It's actually a hard concept for me to get my head around. It's like telling the airlines you can't sell first class seats." The vendors that will roll out Sprint Spark are Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU), Samsung and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) Solutions and Networks. Noticeably absent from the list is Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), which is Sprint's managed services vendor for its entire network and also a key vendor for its Network Vision network upgrade program. Alcatel-Lucent, NSN and Samsung wasted no time touting the contract win. In an interview with FierceWireless at Ericsson's Business Innovation Forum in Tokyo, Ericsson CTO Ulf Ewaldsson said the company was not part of the Sprint Spark announcement but will "continue to compete for the operator's business." In addition he said that Ericsson will continue to be part of "Sprint's strategic network blueprint and will support and manage the network and services." Sprint said the vendors will provide 2.5 GHz radio heads to enable Sprint Spark, and that each company will service approximately one-third of Sprint's deployment markets, much as Network Vision's deployment has been split among Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Samsung. The 2.5 GHz radios are expected to have capabilities for 8 Transmitters 8 Receivers (8T8R), which Sprint said will be a first deployment of its kind in North America. The carrier boasted that the radios will be capable of improved coverage, capacity and speeds when compared to the more traditional 2T2R or 4T4R radios used by competitors. As part of its Network Vision network modernization effort, launched last year, Sprint expects to cover 200 million POPs with LTE on its 1.9 GHz spectrum by the end of 2013, and will expand that to 250 million POPs by mid-2014. The company has also started deploying LTE on its 800 MHz spectrum, which was freed up from the closure of its Nextel iDEN network. That deployment will continue into 2014. As for its 2.5 GHz spectrum, Sprint plans to have 5,000 2.5 GHz TD-LTE sites on air by the end of 2013, a goal in line with Clearwire's previous buildout plans. Sprint expects to cover 100 million POPs with 2.5 GHz LTE by the end of 2014. Sprint controls 120 MHz of 2.5 GHz spectrum in 90 of the top 100 U.S. markets thanks to its acquisition of Clearwire earlier this year. Today Sprint counts a total of 55,000 macro cell sites, a level Sprint expects staying at for the next few years. The company also will use small cells to augment capacity, coverage and speed. Small cell deployments are expected to begin in 2014, continuing into 2015 and beyond. Sprint did not say exactly how many small cells it plans to deploy. AT&T (NYSE:T), by contrast, plans to roll out more than 40,000 small cells by the end of 2015. Sprint hopes that its LTE speed and capacity via Spark will give it an advantage over its competitors, but in terms of coverage Sprint is still playing catch-up. Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) now covers 301 million POPs with LTE and has started deploying LTE on its AWS spectrum to augment capacity. By the end of the year, AT&T plans to cover 270 million POPs with LTE and then 300 million by mid-2014. T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) now covers 202 million POPs with LTE and expects to expand beyond that. "We continue to believe Sprint will take share with a compelling network advantage when they have deployed 2.5 GHz spectrum," wrote New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin in a research note. "The advantage will unfold gradually during 2014 and 2015 as they launch new markets, driving a steady improvement in sub trends. However, the pace of change will likely be slow. We expect sub losses through 3Q14."

Ericsson CTO responds to vendor's absence from Sprint's Spark program TOKYO--Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) CTO Ulf Ewaldsson said that his company is still part of Sprint's (NYSE:S) network even though the company was noticeably absent from Sprint's announcement of its forthcoming tri-mode LTE service called "Sprint Spark." The wireless carrier revealed that it will use equipment from vendors Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU), Samsung and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) Solutions and Networks for Sprint Spark, and not from Ericsson. Ericsson's absence from Sprint's Spark vendor list is surprising considering Ericsson has been a long-time Sprint partner. Indeed, Sprint in 2009 announced it would outsource the management of its entire network to Ericsson in a seven-year outsourcing deal valued at $5 billion and involving 6,000 Sprint employees. Further, Ericsson is one of three vendors for Sprint's Network Vision network upgrade program, announced in late 2010, which has involved the shutdown of its iDEN network and the ongoing rollout of LTE network technology. In an interview with FierceWireless at Ericsson's Business Innovation Forum here, Ewaldsson said Ericsson was not part of the Sprint Spark announcement but will "continue to compete for the operator's business." In addition he said that Ericsson will continue to be part of "Sprint's strategic network blueprint and will support and manage the network and services." When asked whether Ericsson wasn't picked to be a vendor because Sprint's Spark service will use carrier aggregation in the 2.5 GHz band, Ewaldsson said that he would not comment on the specifics of the deal other than to say that Sprint was involved in a "big overhaul" of its network. Sprint said it will bring the Spark service to the top 100 U.S. markets during the next three years. The technology essentially merges Sprint's LTE offerings in its 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz and 2.5 GHz spectrum, as well as TD-LTE and carrier aggregation technology, which the operator boasted will give users peak speeds reaching 50-60 Mbps and perhaps faster.

Alcatel-Lucent posts smaller Q3 loss as cost cuts take hold Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) reported a narrower loss for the third quarter amid rising revenue. The results indicate that the vendor's massive new cost-cutting plan is starting to take hold as it tries to nurse itself back to health as a smaller company. The vendor posted a net loss of $273 million in the quarter, narrower than the $431 million loss it had in the year-ago period. Net sales increased 1.9 percent to $5 billion and would have increased 7 percent year-over-year at constant currency exchange rates, the company said. Alcatel-Lucent said its operating profit excluding some items was $158,3 million, a reversal from a loss of $171.9 million a year ago. The company's profitability got a shot in the arm from higher sales volumes, selling more high-margin products IP networking routers and fixed broadband products, and especially lower fixed costs. The company had a gross margin of 32.6 percent, an improvement from 27.8 percent a year ago. Earlier this month the company confirmed it would cut 15 percent of its workforce, or 10,000 jobs, as part of its "Shift" reorganization plan aimed at slimming down the company as it seeks to become more of a specialist focused on IP networking, LTE and small cells. The vendor said it's maintaining its goal of cutting fixed costs by up to $1.35 billion by the end of 2015. Looking ahead, Alcatel-Lucent said it expects its business in the fourth quarter to get a bump, "driven by a strong seasonal activity," and that it expects to exceed the top end of its plan to cut fixed costs by $341 million to $409 million. "We expect to see a strong end of the year," CEO Michel Combes said on a conference call, according to Bloomberg. "We are extremely committed on cost reductions and over-delivering on that front." Revenues for the company's wireless division were $1.63 billion in the quarter, an increase of 12.6 percent from the year-ago quarter. The vendor saw strong growth in LTE, driven by ongoing investments in the U.S. market, in addition to positive trends in both the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions. The company said LTE revenues more than doubled year-over-year, and that its LTE overlay strategy is gathering momentum. Indeed, the vendor's momentum was highlighted recently by its win at Telefónica (Alcatel-Lucent won the largest share of the operator's LTE network in Spain) and China Mobile (Alcatel-Lucent was selected as a vendor in the operator's Phase I TD-LTE network and CNT in Ecuador). Further, Sprint (NYSE:S) yesterday revealed that it that it will use equipment from Alcatel-Lucent, Samsung and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) Solutions and Networks for Sprint Spark, its plan to add 2.5 GHz TD-LTE services to its current network. "The recovery story is gaining traction," Sebastien Sztabowicz, an analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux France, told Bloomberg. "Alcatel reported an excellent quarter and the outlook is positive." Despite the momentum, recently multiple reports have indicated that Nokia's board is considering a deal between NSN and Alcatel-Lucent for Alcatel-Lucent's mobile division. However, the reports said no formal talks between the two companies are ongoing. Alcatel-Lucent has divested "small assets" in mobile advertising and application enablement, though more significant disposals will come in the future, Combes said, according to Bloomberg.

Leap shareholders approve AT&T takeover Leap Wireless (NASDAQ:LEAP) shareholders voted to approve AT&T's (NYSE:T) $1.2 billion acquisition of the company on Wednesday, leaving only regulatory approvals in the way of the deal's closing. At a special shareholder meeting in Denver, Leap said that more than 99 percent of the votes cast were in favor of the deal. "We are pleased with the outcome of yesterday's vote and thank all of our stockholders for their support," Leap CEO Dough Hutcheson said in a statement. "Stockholder approval is an important milestone on our path to completing the merger with AT&T. I'd like to thank the dedicated representatives from both companies who are working hard to complete the transaction." AT&T CFO John Stephens said last week during the company's third-quarter earnings conference call that AT&T will "use that Cricket brand and infrastructure to really take advantage of that marketplace in a different way with different capabilities than we have today and that's what real positive for us." AT&T expects the deal to close sometime during the first quarter of 2014. The FCC and Department of Justice still need to sign off on the transaction. Earlier this month AT&T disclosed plans to close its new Aio Wireless prepaid brand if the carrier is successful in acquiring Leap, which offers service through the Cricket brand. "After the transaction's close, AT&T intends to combine the nascent operations of Aio with Leap's existing operations under the Cricket brand name," AT&T said in a recent FCC filing. AT&T launched Aio Wireless in May in a few markets across the country, and then took the offering nationwide last month. Aio currently has more than 230 stores so far in Texas, Florida and Georgia, which are operated by independent dealers. The prepaid brand offers feature phones and smartphones and pricing options ranging from $40 per month to $70 per month. The service is positioned as a response to the likes of Sprint's (NYSE:S) Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile brands as well as T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) MetroPCS brand and other prepaid services. AT&T had planned to expand Aio's services to 220 million retail POPs by the end of 2016.

Facebook's mobile ads account for 49% of all ad revenues in Q3 Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) reported sharp increases in the number of mobile users accessing the social networking site in the third quarter as well as a bump in mobile advertising revenue. However, the company's shares fell after it said it did not plan to boost the frequency of ads shown to users. Facebook reported net income of $425 million, a reversal of the $59 million it lost in the year-ago period. The company said total revenue for the quarter was $2.02 billion, an increase of 60 percent from the third quarter of 2012 and higher than analysts' projections of $1.91 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Most interestingly, sales from mobile promotions made up 49 percent of total ad revenue (which was $1.8 billion) in the third quarter, beating out the 41 percent mark Facebook recorded in the second quarter and up dramatically from 14 percent in the year-ago period. Facebook said daily active users were 728 million on average for September 2013, an increase of 25 percent. Total monthly active users were 1.19 billion as of Sept. 30, an increase of 18 percent year-over-year. Further, Facebook said mobile monthly active users were 874 million as of Sept. 30, an increase of 45 percent year-over-year. Mobile daily active were 507 million on average for September 2013. Facebook's mobile advertising business has been a key metric for investors since the company's May 2012 initial public offering, as they have worried the company will not be able to monetize its growth on smartphones and tablets. Facebook silenced the market with its second-quarter results, and mobile seems to have continued growing in the third quarter. However, investors were less pleased with CFO David Ebersman's comments that the company doesn't expect to "significantly increase" the share of ads in a user's news feed from what it is now. He said Facebook will look to on improve the quality and relevance of the ads to drive up prices. Additionally, Ebersman acknowledged that Facebook's performance among U.S. teens is on the decline. "Our best analysis on youth engagement in the U.S. reveals that usage of Facebook among U.S. teens overall was stable from Q2 to Q3, but we did see a decrease in daily users, specifically among younger teens," he said. Still, Facebook seems focused on mobile and expanding Internet access worldwide as ways to drive growth. Earlier this month the company acquired Israeli startup Onavo (a 2012 Fierce 15 winner), which helps iOS and Android users reduce the amount of data they consume via their apps. The acquisition fits with Facebook's larger mission of bringing Internet access to developing markets via mobile devices and services. In August Facebook forged a partnership with industry heavyweights with Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia (NYSE:NOK), Opera Software, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) and Samsung Electronics to launch Internet.org, a coalition dedicated to expanding online access via mobile. ''We expect Onavo's data compression technology to play a central role in our mission to connect more people to the Internet, and their analytic tools will help us provide better, more efficient mobile products,'' a Facebook spokesman told The New York Times earlier this month regarding the Onavo deal.

European operators see LTE Broadcast in their future On Oct. 28, Telstra in Australia completed what it claims to be the world's first LTE Broadcast session on a commercial LTE network using Ericsson and Qualcomm technology. Verizon Wireless and AT&T plan to use the technology in the U.S. market. Meanwhile in Europe, any operator with an LTE network is likely to have this technology on its roadmap, and indeed France's Orange and EE in the UK are two operators with firm intentions to deploy LTE Broadcast. The technology is probably still some way ahead in Europe as operators continue to focus on their macro LTE services launches, but the interest in the technology's potential is clearly there. While operators such as EE see cost savings through the optimization of spectrum and backhaul as an early opportunity for the technology, other use cases are expected to emerge over time, with live events currently expected to be the initial launch pad for service offerings.
