No, telco spending is not dying. Following the billions of dollars that went on licenses for UMTS, there is a lot going on right now. All vendors, -without exeception- are being proactive preparing the plans for the roll out.

Just for illustration's sake: Czech Republic is not a hot market for UMTS. No licenses have been auctioned. The government is not even sure how they will auction them.

But vendors are hard at work in the pre-bid phase. Once the starting gun fires there will be a scramble to build.

Look what a vendor is looking for here in the Czech Republic:

UMTS Project Manager
For major telco: Candidate to co-ordinate all pre-bid activities and if successful be involved with the delivery of the UMTS network.

Bid Project Manager
Co- ordinate all pre-bid activities and if successful be involved with the delivery of the UMTS network.

Senior Project Manager
To co-ordinate all pre-bid activities and the delivery of a UMTS Network. Assiting the client with RF planning, network design etc and other pre-tender stage activities.

The telecoms investment today is not the "good" old telco of the past. Wireless is the only major telco undertanking that emulates the computer industry: namely they don't discuss they just run like hell!!!

This is the point many in the industry are missing.
