Here is a list of Capex cuts in Telecom from 2001 to expected 2002 (six largest in the U.S.):

Verizon Wireless
2001: $5 billion
2002: $4.5 billion

Cingular
2001: $3.4 billion
2002: $5 billion

AT&T
2001: $5 billion
2002: $5.3 billion

Sprint
2001: $3.5 billion
2002: $3.4 billion

Nextel
2001: $2.5 billion
2002: $2 billion

Voicestream
2001: $1.8 billion
2002: $2 billion

Total net increase/decrease
2001: 21.20 billion
2002: $22.20

Overall increase of 5%***


Bear Stearns, et.al., comments on Capex Spending, in Telecom, as being a culprit in dragging down the rest of the technology is unjustified given these numbers. They make a point of saying that Telecom represents the "largest" percentage spender on new technology; yet the expected Capex figures for 2002 do not bare out their pessimism even when considering the entire Telecom sector as a whole.
