"What man is key to press coverage of the telecommunications industry? What man's disappearance would bring telco reporting to a grinding halt? Never heard of Jeff Kagan? Well, obviously you don't read about the telecom industry. Because if you did, you'd have heard of him, all right."  TheStreet.com

Jeff Kagan became the single most widely quoted analyst in the telecommunications industry... Dick Martin, Executive Vice President (retired) AT&T said this in his book, Tough Calls: AT&T and the Hard Lessons Learned from the Telecom Wars

According to AdWeek Magazine, Jeff Kagan is one of the most influential technology analysts in the America, and the highest ranked telecom industry analyst, in their Influencers Report.

Meanwhile, the hardest-working telecom commentator in America is still going strong. We marveled at the astounding ubiquity of Jeff Kagan, a telecom industry analyst with a remarkable talent for getting himself quoted in stories about phone companies. Kagan, we wrote, "has that rare and beautiful quality reporters treasure: He returns your call promptly, and he gives you a quotable comment you can drop in your story when you are minutes away from deadline. He's what we like to call the quote-a-matic of telecom reporting." He is quoted in roughly 500 - 600 stories per year. TheStreet.com

Jeff Kagan was invited to appear before the FCC and the US Congress offering his opinion on the state of the industry and the various wireless and wire line telecom mergers and the converging marketplace. Kagan was member of the US Speaker of the House of Representatives high tech roundtable.

OPINION

Solving the Sprint Problem

By Jeff Kagan

E-Commerce Times

05/24/12 5:00 AM PT

Sprint's problem today stems in large part from quality problems and customer care issues that are now solved. It can either wait years for customers to figure that out, or it can help customers get it today. My suggestion is simple. Update the brand. Yup. Refresh the brand. The solution is that simple. Yet for Sprint, it may also be that complex, because to tell you the truth, I am not sure Sprint really understands the power of this whole brand thing.

 

A quick look at the wireless industry over the last several years shows wave after wave of innovation and success. In fact, success has been bigger than anyone's wildest dreams.

However, success does not come to all. Why do some companies, like AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon, seem to hit the ball out of the park, while Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S) and T-Mobile keep striking out? And what can they do about it?

What they say about Jeff Kagan

 

 

"What man is key to press coverage of the telecommunications industry? What man's disappearance would bring telco reporting to a grinding halt? Never heard of Jeff Kagan? Well, obviously you don't read about the telecom industry. Because if you did, you'd have heard of him, all right." TheStreet.com

Jeff Kagan, a sole practitioner operating out of his home in the Atlanta suburbs, became the single most widely quoted analyst in the telecommunications industry on the strength of his ability to turn a phrase.

BOOK; Tough Calls: AT&T and the Hard Lessons Learned from the Telecom Wars, By Dick Martin, Executive Vice President (retired) AT&T

"This is one of the best written and most readable common-sense guides to the telecom landscape." Reed Hundt, Chairman FCC

"No reporter who covers the telecommunications industry can afford not to talk with Jeff Kagan on a regular basis." John Wilen, Philidelphia Business Journal

Telecom Analyst: Time to splash around is now: Jeff Kagan is one of the biggest names among wireless and telecom industry analysts. Interesting to read his thoughts on wireless + healthcare, here’s his conclusion: “I am in the wireless and telecom business, not healthcare. However, it is very interesting how these two previously unrelated fields are now overlapping. This is just the beginning. No one wants to be left behind when the wave of change passes. That means now is the time to jump in and splash around, before the real heat of competition begins.” E-Commerce News
