It would be nice to get sky back to a position where it sells in. .5 lots rather than. .1. Then 1 cent lots again.
When does this happen? I’ve been trying to find this out?
Agree with most of this.
If the media reports are true then Vocus are not interested in selling the NZ assets for less than $400M (in fact, it seems they may be expecting closer to $500M which is obscene).
Buying Vocus NZ only makes sense if the price is right, and I think Sky will be very cautious.
Let's say Vocus would skip the IPO and sell to Sky for the lower range reported ($400M). Well, for that kind of money would Sky not be better off taking a pass on Vocus and just carrying on with their own broadband plans? Could they get to 225K customers (bearing in mind they have ~1M existing customers to market to) for a damn sight less than $400M?
Barriers to entry are very low now.
Sky could get there on there own without having to fork out money. I won't be a customer of vocus once sky launches broadband. Neither will a few people I set up on power and broadband as they have sky. If the prices is right they will all be changing. That's 3 customers right there.
Yeah, I'm beginning to think Sky is better off not taking them over, unless they can get it cheap, which is already been ruled out.
It's possible after 2 years, Vocus could do an "Intueri" type collapse and then Sky could come in and buy them up cheap for sub $100m.
Sky should quite easily get 100k broadband subs within 2 years as they convert the easy pickings. After that it will be an up hill battle as the market is so competitive.

I reckon Sky Broadband will be launched within a fortnight. Three weeks from now at the absolute latest.
