Without a takeover by someone with deep pockets Sky will not survive long term.

Hope its 6 months...I just subscribed !

Yep, those insto’s need all the help they can get

Sharetrader is the only forum in NZ to help instos understand the sentiment of retail investors...Also there aren't that many threads to follow...so naturally any good insto would keep an eye on it.

They wouldn’t be able to carry on in their current form forever.

But a new telco Sky TV will do just fine. Better than fine - and it should have Vodafone et al worried.

You guys are dreaming if you think the takeover will come this week. It will most likely come around August this year. I am still not sure about com-com approval, especially if it is a combined mediaworks-sky deal.

If comcom won’t let the likes of IFT takeover Sky then they should block Sky from entering Broadband directly.

It produces the same result - a Sky TV telco.

Cold shower recommended for a few on this thread.

If by "cold" you mean precious gems, diamonds, gold and unlimited NEON coupon codes then come on board the SKY train buddy!

We don't want Infratil. We need a rich american sugar daddy like Comcast to take Sky over. I don't think Infratil can tend to Sky's 'needs'..

Basically yeah. If you want an offer 30+ you're going to need hot overseas money.

I just hope Infratil can kick start the process and then other parties jump in. Could go on for months.

I think Brookfield is calling the shots and they are at the tail end of the Mediaworks restructure.

They've likely told Infratil that if they want a 49% stake in the new venture they better have the cash ready. Hence the sloppy placement yesterday.

Infratil having raised the cash are now just waiting for the tap on the shoulder from Brookfield.
