Chat over a pint and looks like Thus's NGS is VOIP or can be.
As with most CPS and IDA is a dead duck in 2 years. But then any short term profit will help long term funding
NTS can't be the great earner is used to be, so where is the future?
Thus's kit for a lot of things is dated and is in need or replacing (rummour) and YC as it has had years of UU backing would provide more uptodate kit and get Thus out of a fix in a few area's.
Another thing YC has is a good mobile, think 2nd? after Vodaphone in business market- could be wrong here tho'.
another thing YC has is connetion to almost every BT main switch site and Energis aswell, this would instantly give good savings on the current traffic unless Thus has similar but in which case they wouldn't need YC????
As someone said infrastructure.
It may be in need of upgrading (as is everyone else) but it is there.
Combining the 2 companies should save money on traffic and thro' the redundacies imideatly and both companies will bring unique services to the party
I personaly would of thought the only way forward for Thus etc would be for Thus, YC and KC to combine
The rummours are
YC to be bought by Thus
160 out of 650 work force staying.
It will be announced to city wed 21st dec
I have no idea what effect it will have on shares, supose it all depends on the cost
