The fact that the contract was announced by RNS means that the Company thinks that it is a price sensitive announcement. From memory I think a yard stick of 10% of sales or 5% of profits is the bottom indicator so it could be more but won't be less. With Hylas 2b pointing at Nigeria life is becoming very interesting at AVN

Thank you Gary and I agree it does look slowly but surely the business is growing even if somewhat slower than was expected back along.

[garymott] 03/11/2015 08:55

Yorgi, good to hear from you; it's a long time since your last post. The business is growing and the doom mongers notably quiet!

[yorgi] 03/11/2015 08:29

It reads very well and does give the impression that it could be a substantial or significant contract.

[sg31] 03/11/2015 08:26

That sounds like it might be substantial. No figures as usual.

[michaelmouse] 30/10/2015 15:26

Might not be as effective on the drones though?

Drones and balloons. No wonder the skies here are so dark today.

And a peashooter !

Don't worry about google, rumour has it that David Williams has recently been spotted buying boxes full of pins ;)

[sg31] 30/10/2015 15:01

Why wouldn't they just buy an existing satellite company for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Re inventing the wheel.

I suppose part of the problem is Google can literally throw hundreds of millions of pounds at stuff like this even if it leads to losses!

A nice position to be in.

[jeffian] 30/10/2015 14:43

There's been quite a lot of coverage recently about Google's plans to provide internet via balloons -

- can't believe it makes sense with an established satellite network in place but maybe the idea that satellite isn't the only way is unsettling the market?

As ever, the proof remains in the revenues figures. They're either selling the space or they're not.

[bulltradept] 30/10/2015 14:29

In auction, no.

[huntie2] 30/10/2015 14:16

Hmmm... not a very clever day today....any ideas?

[nugacity] 30/10/2015 09:44

It has been a while but you lovely sellers are getting nearer to my top up price.

I hope you all lose out!

[aishah] 28/10/2015 11:14

Excellent momentum now. Sector getting hotter and lots of interest. Squeeze due here? Dyor

Avanti Communications (AVN): 300p Price Channel Target

It can be said of Avanti Communications that for most of its recent history the company has been just as famous for posing a conundrum as to the robustness or otherwise of the business model, as anything to do with satellite communications. The charting position has not been much easier to fathom either, with the past few months characterised by a ragged dance either side of both the 50 day and 200 day moving averages currently at 217p and 221p respectively.

However, the latest developments look to be positive in the sense that we are looking at a decent breakout through former August resistance at 241.75p. This would suggest that provided this level remains unbroken on an end of day close basis there could be a significant move to the upside. Just how far his situation could fly is suggested by the top of a rising trend channel drawn from this time last year. It has its resistance line pointing as high as 300p. The timeframe on the upside scenario is seen as being as soon as the next 4-6 weeks, but only while the old August peak remains unbroken. In the meantime any weakness towards the 245p zone can be regarded as a buying opportunity.

Not getting my buy price ..... £2.40 breached ..... DW interview looking better all the time!

5yrs contract with BT is up next month ...... hxxp://www.thebusinessdesk.com/westmidlands/avanti-wins-five-year-hylas-1-deal-with-bt.html

[chriscallen] 18/10/2015 08:07

BT signed a 5 year £1.2m deal at the end of November 2010 which will be due for renewal so it wouldn't be a surprise

[estienne] 17/10/2015 20:51

There is a rumour going round about a tie up with BT. Anyone heard anything?

[2350220] 17/10/2015 07:51

Nice one. Thanks for posting Jeffian.
Sadly, because I bought into the TW hype, all those years back, I reckon I'll get a telegram from the Queen before ever I break even!!

All the best,
John

[jeffian] 16/10/2015 17:11

Well in his interview he certainly accepts that it's all about delivery of revenue growth now. It's a start!

[sg31] 16/10/2015 15:01

Let's see if DW delivers this time. He always talks well.

[aa29] 16/10/2015 14:01

David Williams has always talked a good story.

I would be more concerned that 'normal' sales revenue didn't show any growth at all in the last financial year.
