Fair enough if it's a level playing field.
Not when it comes to placements!

I made a sneaky 5% on this today - quick fire buy/sell action on the back of the big players.
Record date is on Friday for a 12cps dividend - I wonder what will happen to the SP after that...

I still suspect a deal will be done BUT if not this could be a really big deal. A lot of people pretty pissed with SKY at the moment. The monopoly they have on sports coverage and the $ you have to pay to get it. Personally I got rid of SKY a while back. I watch all my sport on line and don't miss any of the other crap channels I was forced to buy in the past. I have a much bigger range of sports coverage on line than I could ever imagine using sky and the quality of that coverage is only getting better and better. Just a cable from my computer to my TV and I'm good to go!!
What are peoples thoughts on what might transpire IF Sky and the NRL can't come to an arrangement by Thursday?
The new IPV6 internet protocol, which is slowly being taken up, makes multicast video streaming easier to set up. The old IPV4 protocol was designed as a point-to-point protocol. It was possible to do multicast in IPV4 but was an inpractical kludge.
With IPV6 and fiber-optic media over the internet becomes more doable. What is holding it back is agreed data compression and video standards. The new HTML5 internet standard may be a way forward, but the jury is still out whether this will be successful.
The point I am trying to make is disintermediation is possibible, where punter can bypass agregators such as Sky and deal direct with the content originator.
Just imagine you are a fan of blood sports and wish to watch a local soccer derby between Locomotiv Moscow and Spartak. No need to worry if it is broadcast on Sky. Just flick a few Roubles to the content originator for the game and join their video feed.
Boop boop de do

I still suspect SKT will conceede here and work out some kind of deal because they have too much to lose.
Same happened with motor racing.Sky will have a bottom line as will NRL.Taking it to the wire.!!! Both have a lot to lose.Big dollars at stake.Either way both will survive.
I watched on free to air in Aussie last time I was there, and switched it off as there were too many ads.NRL will know that.

The market doesn't seem worried that Rupert's left the register. SKT up 13c in a generally strong market, no doubt Dow - influenced!

And ex divie.!!! I brought back in. Had some money put away for a rainy day.As forecast is for more sunning days,I decided to put it to better use in SKT.
With so many good divies coming through,I suppose cash reserves will mount again quickly.

Hi
Can anyone clarify the ex div date for SKT
NZX site says 6 March and the shares dropped 12c at open this morning, but all of the company's own releases say 8th March
So if I bought today would I get the dividend or not?
