Tipped by the independent 2/01/2004

........."And so to our traditional "wild card". Pipex Communications, formerly known as GX Networks, is a telecoms company created by one of the entrepreneurs behind Ukbetting, Peter Dubens. It has been assembled from six smaller players. The ambitious company is generating cash for the first time but is still not widely followed in the City. It could be an undiscovered gem".

Crazyfrog - I don't know how long you've been in PXC or have been following them but the rises we've seen in the last couple of weeks, although not explosive, are by far & away the most movement upwards we've had in over 2 years! So I'd say things are looking up.

i folks as i stated on 12/10/05. wlw 31p. now38p. prty 72p now 127p.mrw this is good info are having a great xmas. buy.as for pxc will buy back in at 8p. have a good new year. all the best and i mean that.

Can anyone PLEASE explain to me as i am always learning,
How and WHy is the spread on this stock so NARROW all of a sudden?
Are there any reasons why this happens?

Now trading on SETS

breakout going to occur... 28p on the cards

28p!!!!!!!!!!!

i've had this for well over 2 years and its only reached the dizzy heights of 12p.

Why do people type in such silly figures on threads

read the ES today, artiacle about Nettworx... could Pipex get taken over???

potatohead - not by Nettworx, PXC is way to big for them...

scotsinvestor i had this share for ages it ticked up i ticked out

but silly statements are not new just look at every board and you will see the dealers and there m8 ramping everything on here

i hope it goes because all the ramping imho on these boards makes me laugh

Were almost @ the 2004 high!,will be interesting to see if we can break out at 12p?

Up again. Could we see a new high early in the new year? It might finally be one day...

There we go, a new high. Where to now?

Hell of a lot of shares bought yesterday and today?

Agreed jim

But one hell of a load sold last week

GREAT news!!!
BLUE day today

And through 13p although dropped back a little now. Things seem to be going well all round on planet PXC at present.

Have been holding and topping up on PXC for a very long time but now at last they seem to be delivering, next stop 17p?
Take care out there, 2517

Be carefull
recent article siad fair value if i remember was 9pence
i am about to bail out if it hits 14 good luck,although it was mentioned on bloomberg tv this am and the analyst said it was a BUY!!!

Fair value was 12p over a year ago. Now that PXC will soon be in partnership with one of the big boys that should certainly be revised markedly upwards.


UK poised for a new wireless revolution
By Elizabeth Judge, Telecoms Correspondent


A NEW broadband technology that promises to revolutionise mobile access to the internet is set to make its debut in Britain after the agreement of a worldwide standard, The Times has learnt.
WiMax, a wireless technology that promoters say promises faster speed and better quality internet access on the move, is being prepared for commercial use by Pipex, a British broadband company.



Pipex, run by Mike Read, formerly of BT, will announce today that it is to start consumer trials of the technology in Stratford-upon-Avon, in the next few months.

Industry sources say that it could be available to UK consumers as early as next year making the UK one of the first countries to offer the new service on a national level.

The roll-out of the service, which Pipex is expected to offer in partnership with a big telecoms company, will threaten the mobile operators such as O2 and Vodafone who have already begun work on the next generation of internet access for mobile phones 3.5G.

Phones with WiMax chips will be able to bypass the phone networks, potentially threatening their revenues.

At present business people on the move can link wirelessly to the internet through a technology called wi-fi. However the technologys range is restricted to access points known as hotspots, usually placed in caf and airports.

In contrast WiMax, which has been dubbed wi-fi with fries, operates over a much wider range potentially several kilometres. WiMax should also provide faster speeds than wi-fi up to eight megabits per second.

Pipex is one of only two official UK licence holders for a national WiMax service. The other is PCCW, a Hong Kong-based player which operates in the UK.

Though other players, including BT, are experimenting with the service, they are forced to do so through unlicensed means, or so-called light licences, which do not offer the same consistency of service and face potential interference. Although a new batch of WiMax-suitable spectrum is set to be auctioned by Ofcom, the regulator, it is unlikely to take place before next year.

Though WiMax has been eagerly talked about for many years, companies such as Pipex have been unable to promote the technology because an agreed standard was yet to be determined. This standard would be used by kit makers such as mobile phone and computer manufacturers.

But after the agreement on a mobile WiMax standard, giants such as Intel, which has thrown its weight behind the technology, are moving quickly to install WiMax-compatible chips into computers and mobile phones.

Other countries are also seeking to promote WiMax. Arcep, the French telecoms regulator, has received 45 applications for WiMax licences under an auction that will be concluded in October. Candidates include local authorities which have applied for regional licences. Niall Murphy, chief technology officer of The Cloud, a wi-fi player that expects to move into WiMax, said: This is another step in the evolution of the mobile internet.

HOW WIMAX WORKS

A WiMax base station, similar to a mobile-phone tower, is connected to the core national network and sends out a radio signal
The signal is picked up by a receiver, either a small box or modem or a chip built into a laptop or phone
The base stations, which in Pipexs technical trials have been provided by Airspan Networks, cost about 100,000 to build. However, as the technology advances costs of building a wireless network are expected to decrease
Analysts, and even the companies pushing WiMax, admit that it is a highly complicated technology that is fraught with pitfalls building out a network involves complicated planning and typography
