One of the most frequently quoted analysts sharing perspective on the changing industry.

"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.

Apollo Research says Jeff Kagan is one of the top 10 most quoted tech analysts out of 4,000 in the United States, and in top 15 - 20 globally. 

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.

Jul. 14, 2009

Of course, not everybody agrees. But Kagan is saying . . .

OPINION

How the E-Book Is Reinventing the Book Business

By Jeff Kagan   E-Commerce Times 02/09/12 5:00 AM PT

The e-book revolution is changing the book publishing space quickly and completely. Whether you lead, follow, or are lost in the chaos of this new revolution is the only question. Readers love it. They have the choice of buying the old-fashioned way at a store, buying a book online, or buying an e-book instantly.

What do Amazon's (Nasdaq: AMZN) Kindle, Barnes & Noble's (NYSE: BKS) Nook and Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad have in common? What about authors like Stephen King, Barbara Freethy, C.J. Lyons, Amanda Hocking and Michael Prescott? If you said they represent the changing book publishing industry, you would be right. The book business is going through a major transformation. Who will the winners and losers be among publishers, stores and authors?

...As an author myself, I am interested in following this changing industry. So I will be writing about this topic often, getting thoughts and ideas from authors, publishers, readers and investors as the publishing world changes...

...Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and VP and Publisher Larry Kirshbaum are focused on changing the book industry. Not destroying the old, like Apple does, but simply adding the new and letting them both compete in the marketplace...

...Smaller niche authors had a hard time breaking in, because the business was looking for big time successful authors like Nicholas Sparks, John Grisham, Stephen King and Janet Evanovich. ..

...Think of the marketplace as a giant pie with all sorts of slices. Even a tiny slice has a few million people in the United States and millions more worldwide. Most authors don't have to be as popular as Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling to be successful. ..

...I chose FastPencil as my publisher. This time, everything was easy and done online. I wrote and submitted the book. They had an editor work with me on finishing the product. They had an artist create the front cover. Then, when I approved everything, they put it online. This is the new world of publishing. ..

...CreateSpace is another company that is in the same business. It is a separate company but owned by Amazon. Lulu is another. In fact, there are countless other new e-publishing companies that are transforming the industry...

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
