Apple is a thieving company, everything it has was stole from someone else one time or another, and it will not surprise me if they stole img intellectual property and design, and then years in the future sue img for infringing that design, which they stole in the first place. I think IMG should design it's own android phone for it's hardware, it would be very successful.

Yes guys I know that, it's just another scam from BT, if only they made efforts instead of looking for handouts, the reason why I was asking the poster was Tallktalk and Sky will not invest in someone else’s company as they are already paying for for wholesale prices for what they use, unlike government they would have to have a stake to commit funds, which they will not do. Anyhow Talktalk is currently under valued with dividend already committed, share price should make progress. ATB

So how much do you think will Talkltalk and Sky own Openreach then?

There was immediate City speculation that Dunstone might link with private equity to buy the whole company, taking it off the stock market. http://www.standard.co.uk/business/sir-charles-dunstone-back-at-talktalk-helm-as-harding-quits-a3455481.html

Thanks Dido, you did well with Taltalk, it was good having you as CEO. It will now be good for Sir Charles Dunstone to be spending more time on TalkTalk. I see this share going places, better than BT and VOD both.

I disagree m8's and like you said we can go around forever, but facts are facts and that's why what we need is for the government to set up an independent body to look at how to breakup BT and look at the historical funding provided to it and distribute some of that to all providers and rest going to BT shareholders, in the new company. ATB.

Here's another example. However, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has been under pressure to expand the supplier network for its Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) scheme, which is responsible for managing the rural broadband programme, after a report by the Public Accounts Committee in October highlighted that BT has been placed in a "quasi-monopolistic position". "All of the 26 contracts let by June 2013 had gone to BT and the remaining 18 are likely to follow suit," said Margaret Hodge MP, Chair of the Committee of Public Accounts. "The consumer is failing to get the benefits of healthy competition and BT will end up owning assets created from £1.2bn of public money." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/broadband/10659975/UK-government-allocates-250m-rural-broadband-funding.html

No not taking a p... or anything. Here is one example. http://www.alphr.com/news/broadband/378754/britains-superfast-broadband-whos-paying-and-when-it-ll-arrive But also in the past BT have been given funding for many projects from UK government including rural funding which BT never kept it's part of the deal claiming it was not enough after taking all the funding.

Pacemaker1000 what’s pathetic is ranting over something not getting it or understanding the facts, BT was practically given away at the expense of taxpayers on the first place just like many others, and since then had been given funding from the governments throughout, so it's not a if they did much themselves other than probably gives the Directors kickbacks from the said funding, as result we have fallen back from Asia EU and America. If it wasn't for these small providers we we probably be paying through our nose to BT. It is what it is, an unhealthy monopoly, and regulator and all the other not just TalkTalk but Sky, Vod and the rest all think so too.

Since the results there has been more buys than sells everyday, but the price keeps going down.

Same here, never thought I'd get this lucky. If you bought higher keep averaging down.

Is that a 2.2218 Pence shorters and bear to pay? You guys are staring to sound desperate, give it a rest.

Just added a small long. Shorters won't like it but dividend is here to stay the company has progressive dividend policy and the cover will catch up to current level eventfully and also the expansion in to EU to come hopefully. As a customer just added and 18month bundle and got an amazing deal, if it wasn't for talktalk BT would still be fleecing British pubic, t and wasn't the BT CEO left to go to work for government? Talk about conflict of interest.

Hi Gerry, yes I agree Talktalk is a victim of a hack and yet it got punished for being a victim.

Sorry what I meant was that from it's current price would need to add more than 100% to make up to what was it's peak, and if it recovers back up, a potential to make 100%. But even if things don't pan out and the dividend is cut back to say 9/8P which would be covered by the earnings, that is still a good return.

Funny how some who who don't want to invest in a company are always spending lots of time on it. The share price has droped more than 100% from it's peak while revenue as gone gone down only 1.1%, and lost customers have been made back already and with ahead of market expectations next results, it's not as bad as some are making it. The management is doing good job and seems to have shareholders support. If it drops further will get in around 170 mark.

No way it's a Lemon, profits doubled, divi maintained, and importantly mobile take up. It's looking good. http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2016/11/15/is-vodafone-group-plc-or-talktalk-telecom-group-plc-the-better-bet-after-todays-results/

Hey Opium, you keep ranting about shorts, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Takeover speculation.

Thank you for correcting my English, have a beef Jerky. :) I understand Oil is important to shell at the moment, but say by 2030 when it becomes 100% Electric Transportation and 100% Solar energy, what then? The link mentions some renewable research, but can't find anything specific.
