So we are in discussions which may or may not lead to anything .....and the trading halt continues
Hmmm
As a shareholder but non user of SKY looks like i am in for some entertainment.
I wonder if Spark tooling around with SVOD (via Light box) "awoke a sleeping giant", to use that Pearl Harbour quote. We'll never know of course.
Mysky is very sluggish to respond. I can usually find something decent to record - even if my subscription plan does not cover it :(
Other complaints include: inability to record a high definition channel in standard def and (related) small hard drive capacity.

Hopefully a combined entity would ditch the existing VFTV box in favour of a higher-end third party box. The VF branded box provides a truly awful customer experience, however it is early days yet and nothing may eventuate from this discussion.
SKT owning the core BB network would provide it with some interesting opportunities at a much better price point. Whether they would use this just to increase their margins further remains to be seen.
Deal done
Only need minimoke and his mates to agree
I'd say Vodafone done well out of this deal
be interesting to see spark response as vodaphone / sky merger would create a bigger player although sky are doing this play to enable them to renew sport content with vodaphones cashflow I reckon
Anyone got a view on this yet?
Vodafone issued shares at $5.40.
Dividend payout 85%-100%, expected to be 37.5 cents. Spark and Sky's divi yield very similar at 9.3% currently, giving a price of $4.16 using a 9% yield.
