It almost seems as if we are at a cross roads. While January was the first month not to sport one IPO (the first month since 2011), telecoms results have been pretty robust. T-Mobile stands out. Profits tripled and they added over two million new customers in the last quarter. Orange also beat their own expectations, […]
