Background on Jeff Kagan

Over the last 25 years Jeff Kagan has become a well known wireless and telecom analyst. He meets with all the competitors, talks regularly with users, and shares his opinions with everyone. The media has quoted him thousands of times. Companies have brought him in to speak and Kagan has appeared in nearly all the major local and national newspapers, magazines, radio and television news, as well as trade journals. 

He has written white papers, executive briefs, case studies and public and private reports. 

Kagan shares his thoughts and comments on breaking news, writes research reports, analyzes the changing market, meets with executives, continually evaluates the competitive playing field and new technology and writes The Jeff Kagan Report & Comment.

Some people read these reports to help them think about the future market and environment. Some read it to help them evaluate competition and new ideas that work and don't work. Some want to read reports on their own company or competitors companies. However everyone reads this just to keep up with what the competitors are reading. 

The direction of the industry is always tough to forecast. Ten years ago we thought we knew. We passed the Telecom Act of 1996 which was the rules of competition between the local and long distance companies. However after only a few short years we moved past that. Today there is no stand alone long distance industry anymore. Today the marketplace is totally different than ten years ago. Mergers have left fewer, but larger competitors. They no longer are stuck in their sectors. Today they compete in all the sectors. Today the local phone companies are competing with the cable television companies for consumers and each other for business customers, as well as assorted other firms. 

Although Jeff Kagan may discuss legal or investment issues, he does not provide legal advice or services, or investment advice or services, and his comments should not be construed or used as such. He does examine competitors history, where they are now, and where they are expected to be tomorrow, and why. 

So what is coming next? What will the wireless and wire line industry look like going forward? Do we know. Did we know ten years ago. The answer is no, we didn't know back then and we don't know today. We have to look ahead and see the direction of the industry and look for long term opportunities and challenges. 

Some companies will lead and some will be fast followers. Both have risks and rewards. 

Over the last couple decades Kagan has written hundreds of articles. He also writes and shares his ongoing thoughts and commentary which he shares with the media on news stories they are covering. He also writes and sells longer reports looking more closely both at topics that capture his imagination, and topics that are important to industry executives as they plan and steer their company growth. These comments are also of value to investors and employees and others. 

Some of these reports are on companies Kagan has worked with in the past, present or may work with in the future. Or they are companies he has  followed over the years, while others are not. Reports can also be about changing trends and observations, not companies. At the time each report is written the distinction is made to be clear.
