Avanti Communications Share Discussion Threads

To my understanding the business model was initially built around "providing rural broadband"? Avanti probably are better off looking elsewhere imo, but how this will affect the business model is another question?

rwilliams, you also forget that AVNs market isn't just rural broadband. The enterprise, military and cellular backhaul markets, which it is involved in, are also huge!

rwilliams,

Interesting article but not sure that the conclusions you draw can be based on the information in this piece - which is top line to say the least.

Volume building,lol

[rwilliams57] 10/6/2011 14:51

one of my issues with avn is this sort of thing



Skye must be pretty remote, and this article shows how a high performance/low cost system can be implemented on the island.

It seems to me that avn might in a few years time become an anachronism for all but those folks in deserts, and at sea

wrong thread sorry

I really don't think that an article written by an employee of a small recruitment company represents an authorative voice on how broadband will be rolled out across the UK.

The governemnt has never said that the £530 million fund to help get the UK online is only being spent on fibre (so where this chap gets that from is beyond me).

In fact, this and the previous government, as well as the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda have said that satellite broadband will play a vital role in getting rural homes online. There are lots of homes around the UK and Europe which are just not economical to connect through new cable.

Money for fibre then.

[pojscott] 10/6/2011 09:13

Thanks for above gorvachof.

[gorvachof] 10/6/2011 08:51

Edit: No Problem Poj

[yorgi] 08/6/2011 15:06

Yes the shorters still have it not helped by the market either.

[pojscott] 08/6/2011 12:38

On the way Down Again!!!

[pojscott] 07/6/2011 11:27

Yes your Right yorgi, I have stuck with Avanti, although once or twice I nearly sold. Would have been nice to have sold at the top and bought in again now. The shorters did very well out of this, can't blame them, we all like to make a bob or two!

[yorgi] 07/6/2011 10:28

Your welcome Pojscott the trouble is it so easy to forget or ignore reality and facts and be drawn in by shorters and have ones confidence and understanding knocked and in the face of a falling share price it is not at all surprising.

[pojscott] 07/6/2011 10:08

yorgi--thanks for the above, I had not seen it. TW saying the same as Red Hot Penny.

[yorgi] 07/6/2011 09:58

TW's tip of the month for those that need reminding of the facts.

[greengiant] 07/6/2011 08:21

Dataexplorers showing that short positions have actually incresed. Should help momentum when they are forced to close. Like a board like this...

gg

[knowsleyman] 07/6/2011 08:13

A this rate it will back to my entry price soon!!!!!

[jonnib] 07/6/2011 08:11

silence is golden at the minute. Lets hope the shorters have had there day and closed. The usual suspects have all gone quiet and supereg hasn't posted for a while!!
I reckon we should start to see a steady increase now leading up to next years launch and the contract wins that usually go with it. I guess it will take a little time for confidence to return but most who sold will be looking to get back in as nothing in the avanti story has changed.

[colva] 06/6/2011 15:08

Hi yorgi,

Yes still here - you beat me to it with the Numis apology - i feel the tide is turning - the shorters have gone quiet (cue SC) and sentiment seems to be more positive than its been for a while - hopefully we can break the down trend and start a new up trend - if things go well there,s plenty of upside from here.

[yorgi] 06/6/2011 14:28

Good to see your still with us Colva even if a tad quiet today :-)

[yorgi] 06/6/2011 13:33

TW repeating that the shorters are quite simply wrong and AVN still a strong buy.

Numis Apologise for misleading.

Brokerage Numis has had to produce the following apology on Avanti Communications* (AVN);

Numis has raised doubts about the contract Avanti Communications has with TigrisNet Ltd in widely distributed emails and conversations. Avanti and its nominated adviser have provided the following assurances:

1. Identity. The UK contract counterparty is part of a group of companies under common ownership which in aggregate turns over approximately $15m per annum. TigrisNet Ltd in the UK acts as a procurement entity for the group; it procures satellite capacity and hardware from companies such as Avanti. Its sister companies in Iraq, Egypt and the USA use those services to sell to end user customers, many of which are government ministries or agencies. TigrisNet UK is thus fundamental to the entire TigrisNet group's ability to deliver its services.

2. Creditworthiness. TigrisNet Ltd has excellent credit standing. Avanti took credit references from two longstanding suppliers to TigrisNet, both large multinational companies which confirm the company's creditworthiness.

3. Contract. TigrisNet is not a "reseller" of Avanti's services – the capacity is actually sold. It signed with Avanti an irrevocable, binding contract with no Termination for Convenience rights, obliging it to pay Avanti fixed monthly amounts for fixed amounts of capacity over a ten year term amounting to $27 million.

Numis apologises if the previous communication led to a misunderstanding of the position.

Yesterdays drop was pretty general for small caps/aim stocks I believe but if we continue at 2 or 3 % a day that is fine by me.
