Nope. Not yet anyway. Still at the very early stages of my research.

"i,d like to know if there are some amazing alternatives about to hit the market" SOMETHING TO TELL US JUDGE.

[outsider] 14/11/2006 09:41

I'm sure there are others, but I don't know of any other major listed ones, or with a presence in Europe at the very start of its interactive growth, and indeed a cash cow (payphones) which will provide cash for many years to come & are also used as a marketing tool, hence one recent aquisition of payphones, that had a payback in 1 or 2 years, but more importantly led to new hotel customers to market their goods of Wi-fi & internet terminals.

If you find naything interesting be sure to let us know...thanks.

[judge jury] 14/11/2006 09:00

Wow. That was quick. Thanks for those comments.

I just feel there must be other people out there. For example, I was reading this press release concerning the latest £5m BAA contract:



It specifically mentions "a competitive tender process". Also, SIN's homepage states that "through its Internet division the company is a market leader in the provision of public internet access terminals in the UK". Note that it doesnt say that it is "THE" market leader.

I am comforted by the fact that SIN seems to be dominant in airports and has a decent platform in hotels. It also seems to be the only listed specialist in this area (as far as I know). However, I reckon there must be other products out there and I'd like to know whether there are some amazing alternatives just waiting to hit the market

[wiganer] 14/11/2006 08:51

I've seen one or two "Easyinternet" installations, including one at Whiteleys Shopping Centre.

[outsider] 14/11/2006 08:47

Welcome Judge. I'm not sure.

Spectrum are pretty unique in Airports, I think they have all the major ones bar Manchester.


Lots of competition in hotels, but again Spectrum have the really big chains & partner with T mobile, plus Spectrum are very responsible regarding content on computers. They pay a fortune to get porn filtered etc (might not suit some!) but when winning contracts, it's important, & because they are the biggest provider in Europe I believe, that is another attraction, because, whoever wants internet or Wi-fi, wants the company to be around in a year's time!

[judge jury] 14/11/2006 08:41

Hello everyone - I am new to SIN and have just started my research. I would be most grateful if someone could list a few other companies in the UK that compete with Spectrum (i.e. who else installs and services internet access terminals in the UK)?

With huge thanks in advance.

[hedgehunter] 13/11/2006 11:47

No move up yet.

[hedgehunter] 13/11/2006 01:10

Excelent news then.

Loads of growth left here.

[outsider] 12/11/2006 17:19

According to Mail on Sunday, Travelodge has 250,000 rooms & intends to double its number of hotels in the UK in the next 3 years (2010)and expand on continent as well.


Very very good news for spectrum.



(from Investors Chronicle last month: "To date 300 hotels have been wired including Travelodge and Premier Travel Inns, covering 30,000 rooms.")

[battlebus] 10/11/2006 19:03

Still a few sellers around i expect we will have to wait a while yet before the next level which is surely coming.

[outsider] 10/11/2006 18:04

Surprised the 22,000 buy didnt make them tick up

[outsider] 09/11/2006 08:46

No probs Wig, you pay your money & take your choice. They have been given far too many chances & unlike SIN not a heavy holding. Will have a look at BRST, need to re-invest the proceeds.

[wiganer] 09/11/2006 08:43

I've been busy topping up on my other cheap tech stock, BRST. Might add a few SIN via my SIPP if there's a bit of drift over next couple of months.

Outsider- sorry to see what happened on DGP.

[battlebus] 09/11/2006 08:29
