Nice rises Friday and today,after being tipped up by Money Week magazine ,with first half sales up 86%,and a cheaper Broadband bundle than Car Phone warehouse,a forward p/e of 15.4 and a likely takeover target seems the one to be on in a guarateed consolidating sector.

17th it is .i stand corrected.

Mail on Sunday reports that BT have pulled out of the bidding for Pipex, apparently that leaves only Carphone Warehouse, who they report have put in a "low ball" offer......

What made it all go pear shape.

hope Mail is wrong!

Hoping is not good enough dubens needs to put news out quicker and not play the waiting game.

u r right, but there is no argument that PXC is up for sale .... nevertheless some info and feedback from the management would not come amiss

Mail on Sunday article

Strawbs.

This all stinks doesn't it? Papers quoting unofficial sources says Virgin has put in offer over 20p, BT will pay more etc and then. Oh! There's nothing on the table and they're walking away. Lots of money being made by people in the know while the rest of us wait for an RNS!

Shear lying or don't the companies like the look of the books? Have they seen the books for due diligence?

Sounds like Mr Dubens wants to keep hold of Wimax why else would he tie up with Nokia,this is the bit all the others want,pencil in the problem with Bulldog and you can see why the others are reluctant.At the moment all the big holders are in,including the main man,its tommorow if there are big sells things start to get TRUMPY,still the value of the company is still there and im sticking.jim

cant believe dubens will sell for less than 18p.traditional end of decade bull run on the cards have held pxc shares for over 3 years will hold for another 3 and will be better off for it.this company will be sold eventually and the price will only go up and the competition knows it.

all twitchiness and rumour and disinformation, intentional or otherwise ...... fingers crossed!

british bulls rec. hold at .1575p. I am hanging onto mine. If we only have one bid off carphone warehouse. How much do you think the bid will be worth.

i would ultimately be fairly surprised not to see at least 19p but would consider 22p a big result

i'll be very much pleased to see a 19p from Carphone, but not really expecting this price. Carphone's Talk Talk is already sucking cash in, and as it's the only bidder left now, the final price really depends on Duben's eagerness to sell at a low price. otherwise, like the FT on Sartuday said, if the sale fails, another buyer will soon emerge. Consolidation in this sector is for sure.

im holding.

who says CWH is the only bidder and all others have fallen by the wayside? .... as far as i can determine, it is only hearsay and rumour .... for sure PXC have made no announcement of any kind, though they will be duty bound to do so on 17th if not before

you make a point cynic, they are all rumours!

don't think they will update anything before the final results, of course except those 'holdings in company'

to my surprise, having just checked "Trades", i note that sales and buys are pretty even

So far nothing has been officially confirmed or denied yet!
Pipex did not return finanial mail's call's and BT refused to comment ?

Pipex Wireless and Nokia Siemens Networks are collaborating on the roll-out of WiMax infrastructure and services in the UK.

Pipex Wireless has started customer service trials in Warwick and Milton Keynes and will now use Nokia Siemens Networks equipment, services and networking expertise, to accelerate further tests and service roll-outs across the UK.

Pipex, which is the only provider in the UK near to launching full commercial WiMax services, will start using Nokia Siemens technology later in 2007.

WiMax is a long-range radio technology which provides broadband connectivity. It is a cable-free alternative to fixed line broadband. Most WiMax deployments to date provide fixed WiMax, while Pipex is trying to enable users to use WiMax on the move.

WiMax services would compete with services provided by the five mobile operators who have invested heavily in 3G.
