Can’t really trust or rely on anything out of the American government at the moment. Even if Trump sticks to what he has said, or if what he has said is accurate (which I doubt ) reducing tariffs between states and EU probably won’t help the BT share price

I’m in two minds. Is it up to BT to incentivise these other companies ? With our money? I’m not sure. I assume the negative morning might be down to Vodafone results ?

@ Petplayer - I think you are right, market thinks this will be a non event. I hope recent revenue reducing strategies don’t take out results in the wrong direction.

There’s not much chatter covering expected results.

Or does OR offer to discount wholesale broadband prices start to stifle / out compete new network options ? At these wholesale prices will other operators choose to use city fibre etc ? If that’s the case does it make sense to reduce your revenue by 100 million £ ?

Sorry should have popped a link on http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/201408/bt-expects-hit-to-openreach-earnings-as-it-offers-discounts-for-faster-broadband-201408.html

Although OR are warning their offer of discounts will reduce its numbers is their strategy to save money in the medium to long term with lowers Maint costs?

If the regulator allows BT to make money from network upgrades then BT will get it done. It might work out that Gavin was right to dig his heels in a bit. Overall a slightly more business friendly regulator environment should be good news.

Not if you’ve got Vodafone too !!!

Hi pacemaker, nearly. But for me that’s not the point. I view the number of shares I own as “share” capital. Logic is long term in backing an increase in price, which is my overall strategy. The more share I own the larger that amount will be, or the earlier I can cash in to reach a target, also the lower the price I’ve paid the better the profit. Bailing out before dividends does not increase my “share” capital. In the short term ups and downs around £2 doesn’t worry me too much I’ll just use the income to buy low and increase the number of. Of course I realise this might be the least effective option, but I neither have the time or expertise to day trade etc. Also part of my holding has deeper meaning to me.

Hey Pantenqueplayer, unfortunately Velo is more right than wrong usually. But he is also saying “if nothing has changed” obviously this share has a couple of changes coming, least of which is CEO out and new one in. I’d like to think thus share can hold above £2.10. Even I will off load shares below £2 with a view to buy back in if I think it will increase. I’ll wait for divi though.

I don’t need charts to tell me our share is back in the danger zone. Month before dividend makes it bit disappointing

No one is rushing to buy share before the dividend then? At this rate we are going to lose last couple of weeks gain.

Ive seen that article, but I kind of know what’s in it and the hysteria about fibre it will create. The missing bit of the jigsaw I’m sure will be size of the country, whether there was a legacy network, etc etc. I can’t help but get a little annoyed with this constant comparison of apples and pears to catch the hard of thinking out. Meanwhile I still question whether the average household needs or would pay more for a speed diffetence they don’t need. I’m very glad to see this debate now part of the 5G rollout.

Any ideas

Really ? Now this I find surprising
