Yeah 10.2 p lol
However name me another industry as highly regulated as telecommunications has been and in particular the restraints put on only one company who had to have its prices maintained at higher prices across all its products and watch as government after government oversaw the introduction of foreign subsidised competition that could also offer TV as well as a phone line who were then pretty much unregulated for years whilst BTs hands were tied.
Yeah thought so, no other industry.
It’s only in the last decade that OFCOM have allowed BT to compete on pricing and also be able to offer TV.
Guess who took on thousands of redundant service personnel during the crash in 2008? Yeah while the whole of the world was crashing under financial crises, good old BT bucked the trend and increased its CAPEX to install FTTC across the nation.
Now during the pandemic, one company strode on with no furlough and actually again increased CAPEX, employed thousands more to install the FTTP network. Once completed BT will be a much leaner and profitable company with dividends that will be eye watering.
Oh and yeah 30 years ago… if only the Thatcher government had given BT the license to FTTP the nation that it requested back then, imagine the SP now. No doubt the backhanders and directorships of Cable companies were too tempting to make a decision to have the best comms network in the world fit for then and now and the future.
South Korea were held in past arguments in Parliament, the News, Question Time etc about their incredible broadband compared to BT well guess what, when BT were refused the fibre licence (and the Tory government actually then invented a fibre tax to dis-incentivise fibre development by the way) all the R and D all the tooling all the equipment that BT had ready to go, South Korea couldn’t believe their luck and our governments stupidity or greed for back handers and bought the whole kit and caboodle for themselves.
It’s easy to kick BT, it’s a big target often with faux pas made by its own board like 3G licenses, selling O2 too cheaply, but much dither and delay has been foisted upon BT but now there seems like an easing of regulations to allow Openreach to build the FTTP network and for BT to recoup their outlay in the next 10 years.
I probably won’t be around to see it, but if there is no meddling from loan shark takeover muppets like Drahi and just let BT get on with it then huge dividends await us not the likes of hedge funds and loan junkies who will bleed us and the company dry and then move on to other poor souls that they wish to feed off.
Best thing is OFCOM agree lol theyre not interested in altnets arguments and gripes haha for once… Full steam ahead the ultimate net isn’t alt its the good old much maligned daddy of em all…. BT!! Shove that in yer pipe and choke on it..
Fecking tosspot lol charging to push investors to STAR lol ffs get a grip. At least if they’d listened to me for 3 weeks they’d all be up 50% with BEN… plus advising to keep BT not sell…
BT are on the cusp of transformative changes that will give investors fantastic returns as BT switches to full digital FTTP networks thrashing costs on exchanges and affiliate costs running a metallic network then recovery of that network it’s in the tens of billions if not hundreds. Throw in the added revenue that every other FTTP provider will be paying BT rent to use their network ( revenue they have never had or accounted for previously) it’s astounding the future figures and profit at BT is mind blowing.
How do your trackers and stuff get their signals from one device to another lol … hmmmm
And when someone mentions boomer haha , you probably don’t realise but most if not all comms and signalling protocols are invented or refined by BT at their R and D labs ffs take my advice you idiot do some deep research on BT and it’s past present and future technologies, you haven’t got a clue…
Lol you fecking idiot pish off…..
My mate got an email from LD the ceo of that one you’re in that dropped yesterday saying it’s just a bump in the road fwiw mate (mind u Zaza said the same lol)
Where r ya
The boss is on about annual dividends roace, not special ones a la EUA…
I wouldn’t worry about them, MMs are always filling or fulfilling orders as and when they have enough shares to complete the transaction.
As you notice some are for yesterday etc. These tend to be for big numbers.
The ones to watch are the huge buys and sells that are cancelled within minutes and they are the ones you need to worry about…that’s true manipulation.
Luckily we are no where near that stage and likely never will be.
Puddys in bed lol he’s grafting hard lately and Coggy’s traipsing the streets of Barrow mumbling about Zaza lol, Bladey well he’s polishing the chrome on his super bike. Keep up the good work mate…
If that interview doesn’t make you happy that you invested then sorry to tell you, but you’re actually dead.
Say it 3 times in the mirror and he’ll appear in your bathroom lol..
Lucylastic just twangggged…

Cheers mate… great photos. Thought u had 5B followers for a second lol well now u have 59!!
Probably thought it was an Xbox game lol
So any BID would need a lot of sweet talking of politicians, BOD approval, and lots of jumping through hoops; Even the CWU, and BTPS Trustees would have significant input.
I believe Drahi has spoken to these already which is why I personally do not believe a bid will be forthcoming as it’s too complicated at this time.
Seriously give us a breakdown of the components of BT and their value. Then how Drahi will fund it. Then we can debate it properly. The SP plus 35% lol ain’t gonna kick it.
