Anyone have any info on this company? apparently they are one of the last standing Utelo's, also heard that they are bitter rivals to the Toronto hydro folks.

Classic case of taking your eye off your core competency, I guess management enjoyed being in the media more than they enjoyed running the company. provocative statement... success may have been...despite current management rather than due. TH should have swapped out the corner office some time ago. Will be old news soon, should be a feeding frenzy on the current customer base.

Maybe your right or, perhaps, I'm right. We can only tell by seeing the books. In any event, the move into Wi-Fi has not been successful. Me being provocative?!

They are likely selling for exactly the opposite reason - that it is doing well and the new management has proved to be a success. I suspect pressure from the political side (from guys that have some time to have lots of lunches with local pols) may have provoked the sale. Intersting development. Mark,
