$7.50 is a steal. I'm in.
Hopefully they'll develop a PS4/Xbone app over the next few months.

Yeah..Hmmm...the launch seems rather rushed...eh...no mention of apps for smart TVs either.... Bobdn.. I hope those Apps come out quickly..Target 70,000 within a year ...rather ambitious..eh ,,with the amount competition suddenly appearing not to mention ..another heavyweight SKY entering into this market soon as well ...
Internet browers inside BluRay players, PVRs, PS3 /4 and XB are a pain to operate...and HDMI laptop to TV hooks ups is an unnecessary hassell in todays world of simple Apps ...Not a great marketing image of a new "switched on" company delivering up the moment high tech services.
Disc: hold TEL
The lightbox marketing hype is working...the NZ Herald poll shows Quickflix is the loser here..
The poll didn't include free on demand global heavyweights such as Hulu (still Geo-blocked???) and BBC iplayer..
Which on-demand service are you most likely to use?
550–600 votes
Lightbox 17%
Quickflix 2%
Netflix 38%
TV One and TV3's free on-demand services 13%
I'll wait till Sky launches its on-demand service 11%
I'll stick to traditional TV viewing methods thanks 19%
The SmartTV interfaces are simply terrible from a UI/UX perspective, but third parties who seek to capitalise on this weakness such as AppleTV, GoogleTV, Roku etc. are all facing challenges from the media companies as they protect their turf. It's a very challenging and exciting time for consumers, distributers and producers.
Do you guys reinvest dividends for take the cash. I reinvest.
Take the dividends in cash used to reinvest when shares were under $2.50ish
Can someone please explain the huge amount of large quantity off-market trades happening everyday?
This years div. is earmarked for a couple of weeks in Adelaide and a cruise up the Murray River next year. Great being old - you can spend your money. And when it's gone, just stay in bed or go fishing for a couple of days, and, Presto! it's back. Should have worked out this equation years ago.
Probably overseas investors wanting to get in in time for what to them is a huge gross yield percentage :-)
I ought to add that Spk/Tel has always been used as a substitute for NZ Inc by overseas players, some looking for an alternative to the NZ dollar which is the tenth most traded international currency. So they are having daylight while we are having night. They can make off NZX trades in Spk until the daylight switches.
Trouble with the malware in email clients of Spark could present a buying opportunity tomorrow perhaps....or it could be a permanent fall back in sp.
Not what a newly rebranded company wants to engender confidence in its IT platforms ??
I should keep a diary ..... I recall several NZ telecoms have had technical troubles incl Vodafone, some of them lasting DAYS!
I had a little trouble yesterday morning but I persevered and was able to use the Internet quite a lot most of the day. I'm sure the Spark engineers are investigating intensively and that the noose is closing around the troublemakers.
I'm sure the share price won't dip much if at all,afterall,have you ever had a refund because your isp had a fault and you couldn't log onto the net?
