mediasat3 press release

[dunny]

ms3 - Hopefully by Monday we can release the name of our partners who will be doing LLU across all 14 exchanges.

If its not monday i hope its very soon

[richardmyers]

Here's hoping, most of their facebook page posts have been going on about a press release due in the next few days for the last month or so.

With that said, the logistics of organising and delivering all of this must be insane - I'm still hopeful they are actually going to deliver, there's a good vibe around it.

they going to tell us what service providers are going to provide us

I hope so. That'll put the cat among the pigeons with both KC & the newer wireless providers! Interesting times indeed.

Is MS3 back peddling


Michael Harlington Hi guys, sorry for the late update, I have a phone conference with the main partner at 3 where I have to answer 5 questions, once that is out the way, then within a day I should be able to reveal all...

Michael Harlington it all depends as to what happens later today on my conf call...

Why does he need to answer questions, they in or they not , what happens if he can't answer the 5 questions and why only 5.

The funny thing is i have seen this 5 question somewhere before, yes thats it MS3 brands this about all the time.

Don't get your hopes up guys

[dunny]

Well I’m sure it sounds all lovely but where is the money coming from.
(MAU) space in an exchange for 47U rack and access £24k per exchange per year
DSLAM on conservative side 1000 ports £42k per exchange
£40 per jumper onto exchange D Side
£7.61 per copper pair per month
And I haven’t thrown in the lic’s or any other work
And Kcom won’t cut the prices and make an 8 million pound investment look foolish
 
Mad Mad I tell you

[Hobbisbang]

No thankyou.

[jamadams]

What a load of balls. Is that supposed to be competitive pricing?

[Hígh Treason]

I'd wait until when/if MediaSat 3 say something before kicking off about it.

Also @hobbisbang, when Quickline and their re-sellers went around bad-mouthing other providers and using profanities it made them look highly un-professional and turned people off using their service. I'm also not sure that KCom would take kindly to the way you speak about them, given that they provide your backhaul. Just thought it was worth pointing out.

[MickyByte]

I agree with Jamadams the prices seem to be a little distracting and could easily sway people away from singing up towards their service. Although I will have to give MediaSat credit were its due, they have managed to break into this city in a manner of speaking and offer a broadband service without having to relying upon customers to either give out flyer's, spread the word or dig trenches.
