k what they were spending. And a pre-Halloween earnings call scared away $56 billion in investors' money.

"This industry is cyclical and can't grow forever," said Sanford C. Bernstein &Co. analyst Paul Sagawa. "Telecom carriers binged too long and too hard. They're working through a serious liquidity issue."
