Indeed. Sky hasn’t had a CFO for months.
Maybe they don’t think they will need one for very much longer...

Some speculation Sky may be taking a look at buying Vocus before any IPO.

In the meantime, Ogg is working the phones to gauge interest from Comcast, Nine and Foxtel to ensure bidding pushes the price up beyond 60c per share...
Thanks MT, that started my day with smile....even a laugh out loud

However long term broadband via Chorus fibre is going to shrink as wireless & satellite increasingly offer a better and in some cases cheaper solutions.

*confident HY results will be positive
I'm swamped at work at the moment, so no time for conspiracy theories.
But the recent announcement of Andrew Hirst as temp CFO looks good. This guy specialises in "transactions". Surely something is brewing behind the scenes here.
Just lol if Sky does buy Vocus. Seriously, that would be it for me. I don't think Sophie is this dumb tho. More of a "Martin" idea.
Something has to happen soon. Once the $100m bonds are paid off and greenlight for ComCom is given, it should be all go!
No need to make "conspiracy theories" up, when you know sh*t is about to go down.
Sharesis users should be piling in soon. I'm watching the forum. No posts yet, but one will pop up soon.

Why would it be a terribly idea to buy Vocus? Obviously it Sky overpaid it would be wealth destructive to shareholders.
But price aside, owning the telco assets would be good. They would immediately be a serious player in the broadband market plus mobile etc.

We already have one dying business, we don't need two.
Just need to sell what we have for maximum value, which is what Vocus Australia is doing.

Instead of buying another ‘dying business’ we should expect someone else to pay us handsomely for our existing ‘dying business’?
Thank Christ you are nowhere near the Sky TV Executive team!
