Cox Communications logoThe wireless communication world is about to receive a new entrant, as the country's third-largest cable company will start a cellular network in three areas today. The company? Cox Communications.

Before you think that this wireless network will be available across the U.S., Cox's wireless offerings will be available in Orange County, California; Omaha, Nebraska; and Hampton Roads, Virginia. These three locales are where Cox is the local cable company, and they hold roughly 1.5 million residents.

Readers of this space know that the investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models and who have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. But every once in a while an exception is made, and with the aforementioned in mind France Telecom is worth a review.

France Telecom SA (ADR) (NYSE: FTE) is a major telecommunications provider in France and also operates broadband, IP protocol, and audio-visual content businesses.

Analysts really like FTE's 49% market share of France's broadband market. Analysts also expect France Telecom's broadband business to offset a decline in landline telephone revenue in FY 2008.

With the markets still in a choppy/consolidation mode (or perhaps worse), it's best to consider including a few defensive stocks in your portfolio, and with the above in mind AT&T is worth an evaluation.

Blue-chip giant AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is the industry-leading provider of voice, IP-voice, video, and data communications services, with operations in every major country and metropolitan area in the world.

Analysts expect AT&T's 2008 revenue to increase 4-6% in 2008, followed by 5-7% growth in 2009.

Further, AT&T's wireless division is expected to be a star performer, with 2008 revenue advancing 13-20% in 2008, on new subscribers and expanded services.

Readers of this space know that one of the preferred plays is a utility company with a demonstrated business model, solid balance sheet, ample cash, decent dividend, and with an extra revenue stream / business that could provide additional growth. Verizon is one such company.

Verizon is not your typical, former AT&T (NYSE: T) unit. Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) is a modern, diverse telecom provider for the early digital age.

Verizon has three impressive divisions: landline, wireless, and business services. And the numbers speak for themselves: the landline unit has an astounding 41.4 million subscribers in 28 states, Verizon Wireless is the U.S.'s second largest wireless provider, and business services is making inroads on medium/large enterprise customers and government agencies.

Further, the company's fiber optic broadband/video service, FiOS emerged as a competitor to comparable cable broadband/video services: look for VZ to continue to grab market share in key markets, as the service is rolled-out in the years ahead. The Reuters F2008/F2009 EPS consensus estimates for VZ are $2.65/$2.92.

The choppy/consolidating (or perhaps worse) market conditions sometimes give the impression that growth plays do not exist, but that is not the case, and one growth company worth reviewing is American Movil SA.

American Movil S.A.B de C.V. (ADR) (NYSE: AMX) is the largest wireless service provider in Latin America, and one of the 10 largest in the world.

Analysts see 2008 revenue rising of 15-20%, after a 32% increase in 2007. Further, analysts also like the company's successful expansion to 13 other markets in the region, to go along with its two key markets: Brazil and Mexico.

Hence, analysts also really like AMX's current subscriber base -- a remarkable 153 million in 2007 -- and its projected subscriber growth rate of 12-15% for 2008, and 10-13% for 2009.
