I totally agree with having a Nasdaq listing. Its one of the questions I shall be asking about at the agm.

The whole Brexit thing is total nightmare with its ramifications for business and the uncertainty and its shown in the under performance of uk centric stocks for the past few years.

[fse] 15/11/2018 16:40

Yes they do but no better than if they were on nasdaq and converted back to stg. I was speaking on behalf of North American investors not UK.
It’s just unnecessary uncertainty and I doubt most give it the thought you do.

[miti 1000] 15/11/2018 16:25

Dollar earners , like BVC are holding up very well. Pharmas , miners etc. In fact, they benefit.

[fse] 15/11/2018 15:55

One of the Largest concerns for overseas investors is the fact that BATM are listed on the LSE and that shares are quoted in GBP. Anyone I have talked to in the US and particularly in Canada are reluctant to hold U.K. assets due to the Brexit mess and uncertainty. If you were to ask investors in North America if they think the UK pulling out of the EU is a good idea I doubt you could find anyone in favor. UK is looked at as the Gateway to Europe and its banking Centre. that’s the way we over here so to speak see it.

Even worse is the government trying to push through a flawed half way deal. Younger people here see the UK pulling out of Europe as a betrayal of that country,s young people and their future.

Obviously we outside of the UK have no say but the consensus here is that the current Brexit deal proposed bears no resemblance to what the referendum suggested. UK has a caretaker PM who opposed leaving the EU.
IMO you guys need to have a general election and decide if you really want to go ahead and proceed with what most people overseas FWIW view as quite the stupidest platform yet.

BATM has no or very limited ties to the UK other than its listing on the LSE and the absurd house broker Shore capital. I know it’s costly but feel they should go for a NASDAQ listing Gains in the share price are being offset to a considerable degree by UK uncertainty and currency risk.

Maybe I am unaware of some hidden point here but honestly I feel this BREXIT business
Is doing irreparable damage..t

EE ANNOUNCES 5G LAUNCH LOCATIONS FOR 2019



· EE launching 5G within 16 UK cities in 2019 - switching on 5G in the busiest locations across London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham and Manchester as phase one of launch

· 5G launch to cover the busiest parts of cities, including London's Hyde Park, Manchester Airport, Edinburgh Waverley train station, Belfast City Airport, The Welsh Assembly and Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre

· 5G Smartphones to be introduced alongside 5G Home router for 5G broadband

· EE also building next generation 5G core network, with virtualised network functions on a cloud native infrastructure



13 November 2018 - EE, the UK's number one mobile network and part of BT Group, today announced that it is switching on 5G sites in 16 UK cities in 2019. The first launch cities will be the UK's four capital cities - London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast - and Birmingham and Manchester.



EE is building 5G in the busiest parts of the six launch cites - including Hyde Park in London, Manchester Arena, Belfast City Airport, the Welsh Assembly, Edinburgh Waverly train station and Birmingham's Bullring - where the power of 5G technology can really make a difference by providing a more reliable data connection to business and consumer customers, even in the biggest crowds.



As well as the six launch cities, through 2019 EE will also be introducing 5G across the busiest parts of ten more UK cities: Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry and Bristol.



EE will launch with multiple smartphone partners, as well as an EE 5G Home router with external antenna, to showcase the power of 5G for broadband.



The BT Technology team is virtualising elements of the core network for 5G rollout in 2019, and is building a next generation 5G core in line with the next stage of global 5G standards, with virtualised network functions on a cloud native infrastructure, creating the basis for a smart and fully converged agile network. The BT 21CN backbone network is Petabit-class, and will ensure the future-proofed scale required to enable a world-leading 5G experience.



Marc Allera, CEO of BT's Consumer division, said: "Adding 5G to the UK's number one 4G network will increase reliability, increase speeds, and keep our customers connected where they need it most. This is another milestone for the UK and for our network journey - we'll keep evolving as we move to one, smart network for our customers. We have an ambition to connect our customers to 4G, 5G or WiFi 100% of the time."



5G Rollout Strategy

The 5G rollout strategy is determined by the number of business and consumer customers the EE network connects in busy places, and the amount of data those customers use. For example, in the last three months alone, more than 2.1 million individual customers connected around Waterloo station, with just one site at the station carrying more than 100 terabytes of data per day.



The first 1,500 sites that EE is upgrading to 5G in 2019 carry 25% of all data across the whole network, but only cover 15% of the UK population. EE is upgrading to 5G where it can make the biggest difference to the most people. 5G is built on top of EE's award winning 4G network - customers' 5G experience will be dictated by the quality of both 4G and 5G, as well as the underlying fixed network.



EE is upgrading transmission to 10Gbps links at each 5G site, and has tested the new links - the fastest in use anywhere in the UK - at its trial sites in Canary Wharf and across East London.

An alert from Smart investor today "Slight weakness pointed by fast stochastics. Likely subsequent short-term drops."

"What is the difference between BVC and FTC?"

Is that a serious question. Are you not able to do any research on your own?

[car1pet] 13/11/2018 10:21

Its a good day so far for me BATM up 2.5% and Vodafone up 8.2%

Yes indeed.....also at the beginning of the last video you posted Ariel makes the point that Telcos 8100 demarcation/aggregation device is HALF the price of most other available devices.It seems they are leaders in technology and price.

[reeltime] 09/11/2018 09:50

spekky

The figures are positively mind blowing.....

"IDC forecasts that the total 5G and 5G-related network infrastructure market will grow from about $528 million in 2018 to $26 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 118 percent".

5g reminders

[spekky] 08/11/2018 18:40

Already posted the second one a week ago (01/11/18) but no harm seeing it again.I am SLOWLY researching 5g and there are many good items on the BBC.

@ gerihatrick/miti .....if you are going to AGM....Could you please ask how 5g will affect domestic broadband users.....I read that it may not be necessary to have a broadband supplier hardwired to your home ( if you have 5g enabled gadgets )
