Good article! The author -Bill Bennett -would be welcome on this thread (if he isn't already).

It would be crazy if all of the parties were not trying to thrash out a deal. This would really shake things up in NZ and consumers would finally have three big telcos competing.
Sky’s content relationships and partnerships, the world class Vocus broadband network and 2Degrees mobile network…

Investor Day on 29th June
I've never been a strong believer in the takeover theory (Vocus Pocus if you will), but this is extremely suspect. What reason other than a lazy presentation creator can explain them pushing this back so much. What changed over a 3 week period that made them feel the need to change dates, but not explicitly point out they did so? They announced it the 2nd time as if It was on the 29th this whole time?
Even the non believes are starting to turn...

Better get the speech ready for the 28th...

Bro, Discovery/Warner will be throwing in a bid soon after. The Vocus merger is just a ruse.
Vocus/Sky will never happen. You're dreaming mate.
Don't you think it's weird, that:
A) They've having a conference call for an investor presentation, when this is normally only for full year and half year results.
B) That is starts at 9am and not 10am, which is normally the start date for these things.

I mean, who the hell is gonna wake up at 7am in Sydney or 3am in Singapore and phone in?

This is what I think happens.
Trading halt Friday (the day that the Vocus takeover is binding). Weekend all the paperwork gets done etc. Monday morning a big announcement of merger or takeover ( trading halt still in effect). Tuesday morning big investor day presentation at 9am. 10am trading halt lifted. (ie standard 2 business day trading halt)
Thoughts?
Bro, I'm in overdrive here and buzzing hard.
My Spidey sensors are going through the roof!

How's that so call "interim CFO" going now. It's been 6 months.
What's his name again?

Andrew Hirst was appointed 2 weeks after Handley left.
