George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Could someone explain what 'certainty' business wants? Nothing can ever be certain. Rate if inflation? cost of raw materials? Buying power of consumers? Competitor activity? Rates of tax - business rates, national insurance, income tax. Mortgage rates?, availability of mortgages? Planning permission? Cost of land? Stock market performance? Interest rates? Stock market direction? If there was no such thing as Brexit who could give a 'certain' answer to any of those questions? Every business executive who blames Brexit for their own **** poor performance should be sacked immediately.
Lol! Well I do have to say I'm not the most techy guy on the planet but my points remain valid. Anyway I wont make any more posts on the subject. Suffice to say at the first real possibility of escaping the KC share register and the KC customer list I'll be off!!!
The 'other' provider is hardly off the starting blocks and cannot offer a service as yet. I live in Kirkella which cannot receive Lightstream at the moment. KC chose to offer Lightstream in a deprived area of Hull before reaching the wealthy suburbs! Smaller investment I guess but negligible take up by the poor area! Great business decision! At least your daughter has a choice to sign up to Sky bundle. I don't, just like most of Hull. Some of my family also live in Brough and have fibre which works well. Maybe by 2020 KC will actually finish the job and offer fibre only.I wont hold my breath!! A visit to the KC stadium which is supposed to be a wired venue confirms that it is almost impossible to connect whilst in the stadium! I get a maximum 10mgs into my home which dissipates to even less on arrival into the house. My sister in Wenslydale (the back of beyond) gets 24mgs. I guess the share price reflects how good a company they are. Oh for days of £16 a share!! At least they have recovered from the low of 20p but that was only prompted by the selling of parts of the business. Oh by the way I did manage to sell a decent number of shares at £12.40 so am sitting on profits from KC even if my current holding is showing a loss. I would just prefer to have a real alternative than be stuck in hands of a **** poor monopoly.
I actually have ten thousand shares in the monopoly so you would think i would be keen for KC to succeed yet the quality of the company and the service they offer to my local community means i am hoping for a take over at a reasonable price to eliminate both my problems! My reference to 'everyone' was in relation to my friends and family. I can't speak for all the locals but one day we will be free. Like all dictators monopolies eventually get destroyed!!!!
You are describing my exact situation which is mirrored by virtually all my friends and colleagues. If we could ditch KC everyone would do so. The sooner KC are wiped off the face of the earth the better!!! I'm not bitter though!!!!
As a 'captive' customer of KC I can vouch for the fact that locals hate KC. Their internet service is probably the worst in the country. Constant breakdown in service, slow speeds and expensive with the overriding feeling that the entire city of Hull is being held to ransom by a local monopoly. No competitors will enter Hull because ownership of the cable network allows KC to make entry into the market totally unrealistic. Ofcom needs to look at this issue. If they see what we locals see every day then KC will be blown apart. I hold many shares in KC and have a vested interest in the shares performing well but as a local user I hope the whole company gets wiped out. Sadly KC have moved from a local community company to a local predator. Markets have a way of overcoming predators. The sooner the better!! Maybe I can rid myself of KC and reduce my losses at the same time!!!
