THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS, 6/4/08

The last newsletter was published on May 13, 2008.  This issue contains three articles, two of which have been reprinted at seekingalpha.com.  My author biography and an index of articles is at:  http://seekingalpha.com/author/ed-ketchoyian.  These articles are practically identical to the articles here at the EKTAN, but at Seeking Alpha, as usual, there are interesting comments, and in one case, a correction to a mistake in one of my articles.  More on that below.  

There are a few things happening here at the EKTAN:  First, I've made mistakes in two recent articles.  Corrections have been issued, but the mistakes were embarrassing nevertheless.  Earning a positive reputation stems from accuracy as much as providing insight.  On that score, I've fallen short recently.  I do have a growing appreciation for those who do this for a living, i.e., real journalists and analysts, including the folks over at RCRNews, rather than hacks like myself.  Second, I've been notified that the RSS feed on the EKTAN blog is broken.  I'm researching the issue and have opened a trouble ticket with Typepad to resolve the problem.  Third, the EKTAN will be going on partial hiatus for about the next two months, due to a new venture I'm starting (unrelated to the wireless space) and a special assignment that I anticipate may soak up any other remaining time starting some time in July.  For those for whom I have consulted and / or who may wish to consult in the future, I will still make myself available and will respond in a timely manner, but my availability for the rest of June will outside of regular business hours.  The largest impact of the hiatus will be that my contributions to the EKTAN and the other sites where I feed my analysis will be reduced.
