Avanti Communications Share Discussion Threads

My current broadband speed is approx 0.970mbps download and 0.245mbps upload.
Will I be able to buy a broadband service from them Avanti soon?

im with jimbo

read the rhps sheet, very encouraging, growth prospects are phenominal, room for 12 satellites in all, lets hop they get the contracts to support such growth.

[jimbo55] 04/9/2010 23:43

Gents, the launch is very probably going to occur by the end of the year. Delays at Arianespace's end are not a factor under Avanti's control.

If you've held these shares for a couple of years, a few more months is a near irrelevance. Goodnight all.

Many thanks for that information marknsparkle. Much appreciated.

I understand from the posters on iii, that Tom Bulford's report in RHPS is very positive and although it does not nail down a launch date,this factor should not concern investors.

please note that I have not seen the article myself.


On another aspect, has anyone had troouboe this week and last getting onto ADVFN and also it being very slow ?. I have and it appears ,other may have too.

if you have had this problem, could you possibly inform ADVFN because it has lasted so long I do not think they may be aware of any difficulties.

Many thanks.

From the RNS on the 28t.July 2010. See bottom para re launch.


As a newbie, I must be missing something?. Can anyone explain please,re launch date?. TIA.

Stegrego ... its definitely not October

Ariane Flight 197 was scheduled for 15th September but there was a problem with one of the satellites and so the launch has now been officially delayed until "Second half of October 2010" ...


Hylas 1 is next in the queue, i.e. Ariane Flight 198 ... so providing 197 gets away in October I would think Hylas 1 will be launched in the 2nd half of November or the first half of December

But as Morgan Freedman says I doubt we will get confirmation of the Hylas launch date until the flight before it has taken off

[stegrego] 04/9/2010 11:09

Sorry,

Just trying to establish a date, been holding these for a while.

Was June, then was Sept, RHPS say Oct - you say Nov - that other post said Dec.....

Thats where im coming from.

[morgan freedman] 04/9/2010 11:07

no,we`re looking at Nov-not sure where you`re coming from,Stegrego

[stegrego] 04/9/2010 10:57

We looking at delays again here then?
Sept?
Oct?
Nov?
Dec?
Jan?

[morgan freedman] 04/9/2010 08:34

It`s quite likely the Air and Cosmos schedule is correct as it`s the first time a partner satellite has been mentioned. Don`t think we will know the date for sure until w3b sat is launched in October.

Its all good stuff at the mo. SS please do report. i would be very interested to see what the other two shares are.

[sco77harris] 03/9/2010 17:39

im a wcc holder too :)

[share_shark] 03/9/2010 15:12

Why thank BB.....................you shouldnt have !..:-)

Further to your iii comment, this is courtesy of one of the posters there.

'The excitement is really beginning to build around AVANTI COMMUNICATIONS (AVN). It's only a matter of weeks before Avanti launches its Hylas-1 satellite. And City experts are suddenly waking up to the serious opportunity here. How big an opportunity?

Well analysts at Cenkos Securities have a target. They reckon Avanti could go to £22, from the 528p it trades on today.

It's a bold forecast – and more than twice my own target price. But as I point out in the September issue of Red Hot Penny Shares, Avanti is in an enviable position.

It is the first mover and a hot new satellite technology. And it's poised to be the sole supplier of a service for which demand is rapidly growing.

In the September issue, I update on the progress towards the launch of Hylas-1. And I also recommend two very exciting penny share companies in industries that are absolutely certain to experience strong growth for several years to come.'

I should have access to this report tomorro. Will report back.

Art.

Edit. Forget to mention and comment on your excellent results on WCC,which I still retain. Well done.

SS - another element which attracted me to this share was the quality of contributers on this and the iii board.

[share_shark] 03/9/2010 14:36

Many thanks Dolores.

[dolores123] 03/9/2010 14:18

Tom Bulford send an email last night and the full tip sheet comes out tonite or tomorrow.

Hopefully the announcement of the date for the launch of Hylas 1 will be out very shortly and we can then expect a further increase in the share price perhaps over £6 ps.

I don't subscribe to bulfourds tip sheet.
