Speaking as a BSKYB shareholder, I would not be so sure that an increase
in fees mirrors an increase in profits or sales. Sooner or sooner, BSKYB
will find the demand curve swings against them.

Tee hee! I can see the value of my B Sky B shares increasing as we
speak ...


Might just get myself one of these for Xmas

£36.95 eh? Not a bad profit margin, considering that the shares are
currently trading at £6.72!

People tend to not like monopolies,However watching the news lately over the
192 BT fiasco and the higher priced numbers now......

That said I believe same companies are using (as Sky) other countries to
patch their calls to!

I can't see any demand swinging against them IMHO as there is no
competition...We all live in hopes though ;-)

There's also broker costs, stamp duty, etc before you arrive at a true
profit margin

They`ve more than doubled in the last 6 months or so haven`t they? Not much
help if you bought them in the boom though. You didn`t did you?;-)

All existing marconi shares were scrapped. The current shares are new
shares which are completly different to the old ones. The old ones are
worthless.

So it didn't take long for junior to make his mark!

Still unless I miss my guess $ky have now gone past the point of diminishing
returns (look it up!) so their profits will now fall back*.

RMC

* of course historical costs have a huge effect on the $ky balance sheet,
however the basic issue is that they will not milk the optimum amount of £££
out of their "customers" if they put prices up to much.
