“I have been an industry analyst in the wire line, wireless, Internet and television space for roughly 25 years and have watched this list grow and change. This is a list of leaders of the top industry companies. This is also a time of great change so whether all these companies and leaders will remain on the list next year is the big question. This is an exciting industry, but staying relevant is always key.” Says Telecom analyst Kagan.
“While this is a great honor, it is also based on looking backwards over the last year. The next big question on everyone's mind is who will be the leaders going forward over the next year. That’s the question we will be following going forward.” Says Kagan.
“This list is a great time to congratulate everyone and every company who made it, and the countless others who are trying to make it next year for a job well done. Keep up the great work.” Says Kagan.
