The article talks about Google wanting to build a massive data centre on land teesside that BP want to build a Hydrogen plant .... Google have the ear of the PM . BP is favoured by Miliband ... Both would be redeveloping a brown feild site ... It looks like Google will win ..But there is issue with connection to grid and other utilities are a problem for both projects . Nothing to do with Kala ..other than its a Data centre...........In Fact it highlights why Kala are utilising Tlou gas ......not sure why this was posted on here it has nothing to do with either Kala , Tlou or Botswana...other than another data centre is planned

I wonder how many users have the green square below this post .. Life is so much easier with it! I have also the ignore on Hotcopper where there isn't even a sign that GTP has posted...its almost like he's been sent to the Tower! PERFECT.................

The way the directors have conducted capital raises has driven the share price down to its all time lows.. This has and will force large levels of dilution than what would have been necessary. If it had been handle in a more corporate , rather than desperate manor. This suggests that the directors failed to under stand the financial requirements of the business at the last raise. Thus holding shareholders to ransom and driving down the share price. Due to fear of a large discounted raise. Not quite as bad as the Riverfort death spiral funding a few years back .. but still more or less having the same out come . In my opinion a scientist shouldn’t be running the company, as it goes into it commercialisation stage of its product life cycle

IG performance was appalling..... in the transfer and showed they didn't represent their clients properly and covered their arses. The miss information between departments was shocking. They basically lied about the process saying they couldn't transfer shares from AIM to ASX in an ISA account.. but the truth was they didn't act or know how to within the right time scale. thus then were supposedly unable to ... but miraculously did at a later date some 30 days or more after the deadline date.. It cost me some late nights .. but managed to sort it myself without losing money or shares infact got a few extra shares ...But really I shouldn't have had to.

That said now it's all on ASX for trading is easy, efficient and a seamless process. Albeit we are held to ransom by the AUD $ exchange rate . All we need now is an upturn in the share price.. which surely should come as the company move from explorer to producer? Unless you are Donkey and t this will never happen, if he has his way. TG will be in prison and the PPA will have been revoked ..Kala don't realise that Tlou's base is in the middle of nowhere with no demand or infrastructure for it's data

Hi Winni, Kala's Generator and associated kit is due mid Sept last I heard. The concrete plinth has been poured and the gas gathering line is being laid.

All being well an announcement is planned to be out soon along with some pictures.

Whilst the management of the companies finances have very poor and at times desperate. Think Riverfort (death spiral finance) and a few others ..voting no wouldn't be advisable in the current landscape! Time is what capital buys and this is what the company needs.

I to think they are paid far to generously for where the business currently is and all the risk is on the heads of its investors , which it shouldn't be! Management should shoulder some of that risk in retained salaries that should only be paid in certain circumstances. ( his if course won't happen as they have been getting away with it for far to long)

PS: you've git no mates anywhere let alone in Botswana ... you're one sad C

Yawn!

AI Overview

Yes, data centers can use Starlink, primarily as a connectivity solution for remote or temporary data centers, such as Microsoft's Azure Modular Datacenters, and as part of cloud provider partnerships like Google Cloud and Starlink to offer low-latency, high-speed internet access to customers at the network edge.

How Data Centers Use Starlink

Remote and Modular Data Centers:

Microsoft is using Starlink to provide internet connectivity to its Azure Modular Datacenters, which are designed to operate in remote locations where traditional ground-based fiber is unavailable. These "data centers in a box" can be deployed for various needs, from mobile command centers for humanitarian efforts to mineral exploration.

Cloud Provider Partnerships:

Partnerships between Starlink and cloud providers like Google Cloud allow for Starlink satellite ground stations to be placed at data centers. This integration provides customers with high-speed, low-latency access to cloud services and applications, even in areas with limited terrestrial internet infrastructure.

Backup Connectivity:

While not explicitly detailed, Starlink could also serve as a reliable backup internet connection for traditional data centers, offering resilience in the event of a primary link failure.

Benefits of Starlink for Data Centers

Ubiquitous Connectivity:

Starlink provides high-speed broadband from anywhere on Earth, expanding the reach of cloud services to new markets and applications.

Edge Computing:

Starlink's ability to provide low-latency connections enables cloud providers to deliver services closer to users and devices at the network edge.

Rapid Deployment:

The modular nature of some data center solutions, when combined with Starlink, allows for quick setup of local computing and storage capabilities in challenging environments.

The way the AIM works this sort of request for dilution will drive the price down to its absolute basement ! They should have gone for me last time this double dipping creates a fear of failure … even though the products are good and needed in the world

Another awfully run company .. with greedy executives who have run the business close to the wire with funds .. driving the share price down towards 0 .. unbelievable

It amazes me that Parson's is still involved here? Are all his record is appalling in creating shareholder value and his ability to push a business forward is shortermist to say the least. He really is only here as he will being paid a high salary handed out by his circle of failed executives.Truth is who else would employ someone with his record? let alone pay him £200K------IMHO

Thanks for that Thornback! it's good to here things are moving along all be it slow than stated.. mind you that's nothing new in Africa

Dilution is the only tool left to this company mostly due to very poor financial planning. No business should sale so close to the wind ...but here we are again...And you guessed it the shareholder carry the can again and have very little choice to vote in favour as the alternative is ?

Still no news from the company on Kala and first power! Push! They are really bad at both comms and timelines! Again you would think they would be shouting from the roof tops given all that’s gone before! You would think they would have announced when equipment had arrived on site and is being fitted and tested ahead of first data being produced! But nothing given that the share price collapsed when they announced the move away from the AIM and hasn’t recovered much since! The price is ridiculously low for a company on the cusp of first revenues?

Why ? Let’s see how this plays out! Sounds like the PM is doing what all politicians do covering all bases

If you say so! I don't have anything to offer so don't expect a response.. Where as you write is to get a response .... which other than Brad you fail miserably

Firstly as I have said I'm really not interested in Botswana's other than TLOU and its road to power generation.

And regarding respect that is earned and not just given and you sure as sh*t haven't earnt it! Filter me as I have nothing to offer and you can then talk to yourself as no one else reads or replies to your utter nonsense!

The $12b deal signed in partnership with state-owned Botswana Development Corporation will focus on key sectors including infrastructure, energy, mining, diamond refinement, agriculture, tourism, cybersecurity, and defence.

Doesn’t look to me like a diamond mine focus at all ..you must be talking to the wino’s and drunks on the street corners of Gaborone. As Brad has said the PM has spoken about the lack of diversification that has brought Botswana to where it is economically currently. And the need to invest in a wider variety of industries to help pull them back into a better economic position.

I may well know nothing ..but at least I don’t”t try and pretend that I”m a top opinion leader on all things Botswana who has sources within government. And you say I’M the joke …….well I think the jokes on you!

PS …….I don”t have an issues with Brad because at least he’s thinking for himself and trying to find positivity in he rhetoric unlike you the grim reaper of Tlou and Botswana
