Yes indeed - and they will do that when they enter broadband in the next few months.
Or if IFT make their move and buy them soon...

What's happening with that Sky and Feenix Communications deal? Who's that poster here with the inside scoop on that?
Surely that would have been signed by now if Sky are entering broadband market.
IFT deal more likely happening.

Yes, unfortunately those psychological games must be played. It works well for Countdown, Mitre10 etc.

You two are great!! Thank you both mistaTea and Ogg for your opinions on SKT. I have started to understand the covert dealings of 'big business' through both of your most interesting inputs. Long may your rivalry continue until....???

My understanding is this person is serving Brookfields Assets Management as his client in NZ.
1) Brookfield owned Oaktree and Oak Tree owned Mediaworks.
2) Vodafone is jointly owned by Brookfield and Infratil.
3) The link between Mediaworks and Vodafone can be established with Brookfield as the common (part) owner.
4) The missing link here is since Brookfields already owned Mediaworks, would they be interest to launch an interest to buy SKY?
hence the "big shake-up" as described by the outgoing CEO.
This is my first post.

Where do I start.
Firstly, the fact that board members are standing down without being replaced is a sign that things are coming to a conclusion.
It was obvious that she was brought in for the Vodafone merger as she came on board in mid 2015 and there are references to the merger all over her Linkedin profile.
https://nz.linkedin.com/in/susan-paterson-onzm-a65b8930
No need for her come October, as this company will be all "Red" not "Blue".
Just lol at her complaining she is too busy. Just look at her supposed replacement, Keith Smith, who has 100 directorships:
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/skellmax-...04676&ref=bebo
With her leaving, there's only 2 female board members. Seems like the company has no interests in having a 50/50 gender balance. No need to worry as it's all being dissolved anyway.
Just lol at "refreshing the board" when you have a zombie like Handley still rotting there. This bozo needs to go ASAP but he's too desperate for a job.
I bought more today at 14.3
I'm going down with the ship...
