WorldCom debacle access to speculation about survival in the telecommunications industry.
The collapse of WorldCom and other scandals rockten the Wall Street last week, added to a fuel-month old theory that only the first three Baby Bells and big cable companies, the survival of the telecommunications industry shakeout extended.
“I think we probably final,” said Paul Wright, Vice President and telecom analyst at Loomis, Sayles & Co. in Boston.”I think at the end of the day we are going to three or four modes, and that’s all. They want to do everything: wireless, wired, long distance and local.”
The theory suggests that if the law permits, BellSouth, SBC and Verizon Corp. is gobble up one or two of the great distance Carrier - AT & T Corp., Sprint or WorldCom. Most small players - including Broomfield-Level 3 Communications, Douglas County-based Time Warner Telecom, Global Crossing, a bankrupt, and maybe Denver-based Qwest - is swallowed redemption in bankruptcy or liquidation. The only competition for the mega-Bells would be composed of cable suppliers.
Not everyone agrees with the theory, but little doubt that the industry struck to see other victims, maybe some of WorldCom’s size.
“The industry as a whole is a very difficult time that funding,” said Brownlee Thomas, a leading telecommunications analyst at Giga Information Group in Cambridge, Mass. “We are now expected upturn in 2004, not 2003 for telecommunications. In other words, each is new and requires some investment companies for its operations which marginalization and get the market. Those who are probably the profits (Baby Bells). “
