Who needs a takeover when we're a telecommunication company now, right?

Vodafone was valued at $3.4B when they were purchased by IFT.

Surely we could be worth at least a third of that with our large customer base to advertise to!

Vodafone was valued at $3.4B !

That's like $4b in today's inflationary dollars.

Spark at $9b.

Sky at $250m

Sky investors asking for more market cap.

Infratil AGM starting soon.

$29.99! That is a tenner cheaper than what Sky usually charges.

This is exactly why we need to become a telco ASAP - so we can offer cheaper bundles and PPV offerings to our broadband customers and still make money.
We all wish they moved sooner/faster after the Vodafone merger was nixed - let's hope we get more insight into what has been happening at the AGM and these guys get cracking.

I am a boxing fan - will watch this fight on Spark Sport for sure.

Oh the irony. Where are the crooks from the commerce commission now?

What a boring AGM.

The only thing I took away is that Vodafone is heading in the same direction as Spark.

Then Mista posts that Spark is going into pay per view.

Just lol

I listened to the IFT Q&A...certainly nothing was said that indicated/implied they are sniffing around SKT.

In fact, Marko pointed out that Spark and Vodafone are following broadly similar strategies...except for marginal value add activities like entertainment content and live sport.

It certainly didn't sound like Marko was keen to get into the content business directly (it sounded to me like he is happy to keep the current commercial relationship with Sky for Vodafone TV, but that is as far as it goes).

Yeah, except for marginal value add activities, until they takeover Sky on the 10th
