The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Maybe. So what exactly has BT done for EE, is it a much improved company than it was?
I’m wondering whether BT or anyone for that matter can or should setting themselves up for a strategy to directly compete against this companies.
Arguing to take I Apple and Google for instance in what is effectively their area of expertise could be marked down as folly couldn’t it. The resources & development capabilities of these businesses is not something that can be “out “ competed is it, these companies are more like wealthy countries.
It like BT choosing to compete with South Korea, in the manufacture of new telly’s
Anyone see this latest venture as smoke and mirrors? Is BT really going to set itself up to compete with Apple & Google etc for a piece of the health industry?
Is this really a good plan? I’m not sure, anyone have thoughts ?
Bless you Fleccy you’re always a bit behind
What you reference is past & we’re trying to second guess the future.
This is a bit like your previous opinions (in a very loud Iraqi accent ... “there are no borders in Kent (or the Irish Sea moment”.)
Well that settles it. You “can’t see any circumstances”. I’ll put it down to a racing certainty now shall I?
Bit like the MAC address few weeks ago, I’m talking application layer using it for a unique identity & you witter on about L2 routing.
Fleccy - Virgin mobile moved their mobile product from EE to Vodafone before 02 was on the menu & incidentally when a Virgin / Vodafone tie up looked likely. With a VM / O2 merger, do you really think Virgin mobile will continue using Vodafone for a second longer than the need to? So that’s utterly irrelevant to anything.
I notice of course you miss out the actual logic in play here, Comcast, Liberty, ex Virgin board member now sky CEOetc etc etc.
I think I’ve said this before, sky & BT are like oil and water.
Surely it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to workout Virgin are merging with O2, Sky has their mobile with O2, they have a new CEO who is an ex board member of Virgin, she was a John Malone prodigy.
Sky owned by Comcast, Virgin owned by Liberty..... that shouts out at my suspicious nature IMO
It really doesn’t matter what the spin is or amateur opinions. This news isn’t good. It adds to the various other fines / payments from regulator, includes Italian fraud & payments to DT / orange. These unexpected costs keep raising all kinds of key questions
What’s that got to do with trade or Brexit ? EU membership has no bearing on vaccine rollout, other than U.K. chose to use EU law to speed theirs up. Please also bear in mind U.K. has massively overpaid & has far fewer allocated
H hi - I think bozo the clown is preoccupied with fishing, borders in Kent and Irish Sea. I see EU consumers are using state run websites to change from U.K. suppliers, lorries are bypassing U.K. ports. It’s tragic. I would guess lies made to BT will be quite low priority compared to lies made to everyone else. Ido hope OFCOm has the courage to go against the grain and regulate price increases, but I doubt that with impeding economic / employment situation.
Am more honest comparison of cost would be to cost BT fibre covering the entire planet & moving ships, plains trains etc
What would be that cost? Has to include the ability to “hook up” at any point along any road, any field etc rather than per premise
On that basis, starlink sounds low cost to me.
Cool. Yes I’ve just looked up their satellite orbit. Their satellites are not geo stationary (low orbit). This means they are not competing for space & don’t need fuel to manage apogee / perigee. But antenna will need to be something special. Clever stuff
