The point is Tony ,water used pipes, electricity uses cables and data uses networks. The mention was that CC had partnered VF . My point was they have also partnered Kanstrup with whom they succefully delivered a smart project. Kampstrup also do a mesh network. While pleased things are moving only a fool would guarantee we are the only ones involved for the solution, hence I'm watching. As you say DYOR.

So do Kamstrup it seems.......and as I suggested previously they also have a mesh network offering. As always though DYOR

The point I was trying to make was before a space program surely the cash should be spent on basic infrastructure to benefit the whole nation? The fact us India appears to spend cash where it suits the few not the masses.

Hi IL While I can respect your apparent knowledge of the Indian model, they do as you say have a large economy, they also have a space program. Never visited the country but have many collegues who have. Perhaps you could avail us of the quality and level of infrastructure throughout for example roads , sanitation etc. My understanding is there is a very significant level of poverty throughout? Not good for a country with such a large and successful economy I'm sure you would agree?

This is only one that's up and running and look at the date of the article. Sure it's not the only one and things would cerrainly have moved on technically but DYOR.

And therein lies my fear Ted. We've been here so many times before with contracts disappearing I'm cautious and like I say taking a watching brief. There is more than one mesh solution out there, some already operational elsewhere in the world. I did post some others a long while back but can't be bothered to look. That's only my opinion though and like they say DYOR.

Morning Ted, regarding your last point I have been suggesting the same for some time.

Also worth remembering BT will not be the only telecoms provider affected by the decision.

Thanks LTI appreciated.

LTI I was referring to Imperiallondon by the way.

Just for clarity LTI can you or anyone else confirm he categorically does not have any or neverhas had any connection whatsoever to CC?

Hate to say it Tony but it seems to me you are putting emotion into your investment decisions again.
The "I had better not sell in case I miss out " rarely has a happy conclusion in my experience.
Imagine you are in a stricken aircraft, parachute strapped on hurtling towards the ground but scared to jump. In a minute the engines will start.....in a minute.....in a minute.....what is the more likely outcome if you don't jump? Better to land safely with a bit of a bump and take the next flight home for me.
If I miss out so be it, I still think whatever happens there will be ample opportunity. Next year Rodney....

I've been out since consolidation and the few left not long after so for me a sensible decision I made with solid judgement and without emotion,in my view the only way to invest, served me very well over the years. As I said earlier, watching brief to see if history repeats itself. At that point I will make a call one way or another.
Someone suggested a few days back invest and wait 5 or 10 years.....on the FTSE yes but Aim?? AIMO of course.

And the spread............

So what happened in ROI then?

That being the case Tony what happened with Kapstrup?
Al I'm doing is trying to bring a sense of reality and balance! Yes maybe CC will get somet6 in India but how long into the future? Ultimately it comes down to cash and cashflow. If the tech is that good do you not think that CC would be s prime takeout? Kapstrum did just that with a software company judging by the link I posted. I've made clear my current position, a watching brief. DYOR EVERYONE.

Sorry Tilly not sure I see the relevance. Some homes in Bolton list power for an hour ? You should have lived through the winter if discontent!!

Also interesting. https://www.kamstrup.com/en-en/news-and-events/news/kamstrup-acquires-danish-software-company
Could this be the reason Connode exited the market?

Apologies all if I dreamt this but were CC not moving into ROI a while back? Just spotted this about Kamstrup.https://www.kamstrup.com/en-en/news-and-events/news/kamstrup-and-siemens-to-roll-out-large-scale-smart-metering-project

Imoeriallondon to keep the balance, there are many more providers of mesh networks out there . Many established companies with proven tech. It is import to remember CC do not have the unique product. AIMO.
