The iknowledge programme in Tanzania seems to be taking off and linking teachers & pupils across 25 regions in that country alone. It fills a gap where fibre broadband cannot be taken up. If you go on to Avanti website you'll see the story and case studies there. Hopefully the programme will soon roll out throughout Africa and gain Avanti a much needed revenue stream.-and lifeline.
Maybe the fat lady has lost her vocal chords, cus i can't hear her singing yet. Maybe someone like Warren Buffet might come to AVNs rescue. who knows? Yes maybe the financial situation leaves much to be desired but the fundamentals of Avanti are very very strong.
hi iknowvery little i will welcome you to the board even if no one else does welcome.as you can see it's a mixed bunch south street wants avn to die. i for one would like it to live but it makes for a good debate and a good game of bears V bulls. anyhow i noticed they removed your link so did you find something of interest?
Me and the Fat lady were just discussing your post. Im not sure any fund manager out there is allowed to buy with the company in such a state ( debt too high etc etc etc ) In fact I note fund managers have been quite aggressive sellers over the last few weeks.... Perhaps it is just the PI's keeping things afloat..
The clock is ticking and still no sign of a saviour coming to AVNs rescue. Id like to know just how much the 'A' team are doing to get us out of this deep dark hole we now find ourselves in. Surely there must be a fund manager out there somewhere that can see the massive potential in Avanti, after all it is a truly global company with so much to offer, present in 118 countries, a first mover in ka band etc etc.. the list goes on. SOS....Save Our Shares !
Still frantically avoiding the question, I see, GCCRa... Any PI genuinely invested in AVN would be most keen for clarity on the issue raised... unless brain-dead or faith blind. So which are you? Brain-dead? Blindly faithful? Or perhaps not a genuine PI at all?
Get a proper job.
Yes that's right GCC - far more likely that everyone who thinks you are an imbecile is the same person rather than you actually being a complete imbecile!! Then again, I suppose that would be the kind of thing that an imbecile would think, so QED I guess........;-)
Oh lord, not another one ! Surely there have to be more respectable ways to earn a living ?
I would not waste any more time with that complete and utter cretin gccra. He is either deluded, a ramper or a troll, either way just ignore his childish outbursts and he'll soon lose interest.
GCCRa, you've posed no question. Kinda hard to answer it then. What you have done - as usual - is gone straight for your "multiple ID troll" myth, which is needless to say farcical. How unsurprising that unjustified insult is the only resort of those without any argument. You mention questions being avoided. You're accidentally right there... I asked you what your opinion was on what is being done - or what has been done - to remedy the AVN self-announced minimum $49m shortfall (46 days and counting). I'd remind you that this is a question solely based on information released by AVN via RNS on 26th April and unadded to since. Again unsurprisingly, you've chosen to shut your eyes, block your ears and shout la la la, rather than venture an answer to something unpalatable but nonetheless real.
He was buying when AVN were at 750p and he was just the same then swearing at anyone who dared criticise the directors or question that Avanti would reach �30.
HITS, MTB, Crobe, or whatever you call yourself today, please answer the question. The way you are doing your negativity job here is too obvious. You need to add entities more often otherwise anyone with half a brain will suss what you're doing. Pathetic performance.
Bingo!
That would be me then ?
Matt, you may be right. I had presumed that anybody permanently insisting that everything was unbelievably and eternally wonderful in the world of Avanti and that there were no possible doubts of such or questions needing raising and answering could not in all sanity actually believe this - especially after the company's Apr 26th RNS. I'ms surprised that arrant stupidity and/or confirmation bias could run so deep, but hey it takes all sorts, I guess. I'd still like news on: a) what's being/been done to secure the funding shortfall (47 days to go) b) some appropriate fat new vertical market contracts in geographies that make sense. Governments/telcos/major corps operating in Africa would be extremely encouraging, for example. Knowing what footprints Hylas-4 was intended to have well in advance must have meant that such things were at least provisionally being discussed and/or negotiated in advance - so hopefully some positive news will be due out before any self-announced axe is liable to fall?
HITs - you won't get anywhere with 'stick my fingers in my ears and sing la la la' GCCRa. He is as stubborn as he is stupid I'm afraid, an approach which ha slost himalot of money so far. He'll probably accuse you of being me next - that's ususally the next 'gem' from him.
Dan, that's good of you. No offence taken and no apology necessary, but thanks for the clarification. My reaction was not directed your way either, really... instead I was referring to GCCRa's tritely insulting post with the tired old "Evil shorter! Paid troll!" schtick he comes out with whenever anyone dares raise questions - no matter how well-founded - on AVN. His tactic of "when incapable of any sensible reply, instantly play the man, not the ball" does get a tad tiresome when repeated for the billionth time.. ATB.
Apologies to HITS. I did not direct the comments at you, as they were meant for the silly 'waiting for fat lady' posters!
What's truly laughable is that any slightly concerned opinion from a shareholder (yes I am an AVN shareholder) with some experience of the VSat industry (yes I have some) is instantly leapt upon and savaged by the blindly faithful in a classic ad hominem attempt to discredit.. I would suggest that such frantic attempts to stifle reasonable and evidence-backed questions is a far more likely sign of those with malign agendas... except much more along the ramptastic line. I've tended to find that most adults don't believe that blind and unquestioning faith forms a good basis for any investment strategy... but hey, that's just my opinion. GCCRa - if you have a worthwhile opinion on what AVN is doing - or has done - to find the millions of dollars of funding that it itself announced that it needed to secure by end June, please feel free to share. As a final note, posting the above question can hardly be called "negative trash" by anyone with more than half a braincell, being as it is based solely upon the contents of an AVN-issued RNS... ..but I of course do acknowledge your right to block your ears, shut your eyes and shout la la la at the top of your voice, if you think that's a more effective and reasoned approach.
There is no other rationale for posters putting their efforts into the repeated negativity. Why are they hanging around if they have no faith in the company? It is indeed laughable that they are doing it to save the ignorant investors who don't know the truth - ROFL
Tyche, yes it's blindingly obvious that entities such as Head In Sand (How appropriate), Crobe, etc. etc. (They adopt many entities) are doing. They post continuous negative trash for a reason. That reason being that they are paid to. Lets be honest why else would they continue to do that ?
Precisely my point earlier. AVN's involvement with BW is both teeny from a revenue point of view, consumer-based and old news... so why bother waving it about like it's new and significant? AVN must know - and I'm sure they do - that their success or failure absolutely does not depend on delivering multiple individual/primarily consumer connections through resellers in the UK - or IMO in Western Europe as a whole. So let's hope we hear about major vertical contract wins in far more appropriate geographies. Time is after all ticking by.
South street, so thats where the 'A' team are? in the pub with paul walsh ha ha, if i weren't invested i would probably find that funnier. I hope your not serious ! Maybe thats the name of their new offices then, The Red Lion- or is it the White Elephant?
