UK to get first city with high-speed WiMax coverage

LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - A British city known for its concrete cows is set to become one of the most technologically advanced in Britain after it said it would to be the first UK town to boast a high-speed WiMax wireless broadband network.

Telecoms firm Pipex (PXC.L: Quote, Profile, Research), in a joint venture with chip maker Intel (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research), is to blanket parts of Milton Keynes with WiMax, a medium-range sibling of the popular Wi-Fi technology covering kilometres rather than metres. Both use radio frequency rather than conventional wires to beam the Internet.

A source close to Pipex told Reuters the company would announce the launch of its plans in around four weeks.


Steven Jewell, head of IT for Milton Keynes, said WiMax would be rolled out across the city bit by bit.

"Milton Keynes will be probably the first place for a major proving roll-out of WiMax in the UK," Jewell told Reuters.

"Signals will be sent out into various parts of Milton Keynes -- it won't be the whole of Milton Keynes to start with."

Milton Keynes is famed in Britain for the black and white concrete cow statues which planners added when building the town in the 1970s.

For those looking to get on the Internet on the move, WiMax is seen as one of the main alternatives to the 3G networks for which mobile operators across Europe paid more than 100 billion euros ($128 billion) combined some six years ago.

can't make my mind up whether to buy back in ..... made money previously, but whenever one thinks sp is going to take off it nosedives again

one to buy and tuck away and forget for a year, sure it will make money or get tookout by a big fish.
seems to have broken out of downward trend, one to keep an eye on.

cynic there seems to be strong support just above 8p, I have decided to top up at around 8.5p if I get the chance. I wonder what a chartist would make of it, PXC is well down off it's quite recent highs.

RSI is still only 60, which is not too bad; just broken through top of Bollinger Band, whatever significance that has; 200 dma is about 11.2, so miles away; broken through 50 dma.

Nothing very specific i would have thought, though not something about which i am very knowledgeable

all says a buy to me.
MACD on way up
fast/slow stoch on way up

Today's Telegraph........

Pipex, the internet service provider, has never had a totally harmonious relationship with the market.

The company's shares stand at just 9.6p, down from a year high of 16p. Analysts have been concerned that Pipex's consumer broadband offer will go unnoticed in the wake of huge marketing efforts from rivals such as Carphone Warehouse, BT and Sky.

But on Tuesday Pipex published the results of a successful trial of its WiMax technology. WiMax is similar to existing WiFi wireless internet technology but has a far larger transmission range. Pipex's WiMax efforts are a joint venture with Intel, the giant US chip company that recently invested $600m (316) in Clearwire, a WiMax start-up in the US.

The technology is interesting: it potentially offers a flexible alternative to fixed-line broadband. Pipex's trial showed that the technology delivers very high-speed connections and the company is well placed to benefit from any roll-out in the UK.

However, it is Pipex's new advertising campaign for its existing broadband service, featuring David Hasselhoff, the Baywatch star, that is getting the attention of analysts. We believe that customer sign-ups for Pipex's new broadband package could, like Carphone Warehouse's similar TalkTalk service, exceed expectations. The company is trading on a price to earnings ratio of 14 and Investec has a "buy" recommendation on its shares. In addition, we believe Pipex is ripe for acquisition. We rate the shares a speculative buy.

Im thinking of buying in but am worried that the shares could take a hit when they open on Monday as profit taking rears its head, but we'll see, a small rise and I will buy In.
Product in a growing market and as Investec rightly said , Pipex is ripe for aqcusition. I can see similarities to 02 growing on a smaller scale.

Through the phsycological 10p barrier but will it hold...?

For what it's worth, in my estimation, it will hold and strengthen as we're now in the run up to the interims to be announced 7th Sept. (imho) then what happens is anyone's guess..

Not for long, back down to Earth today,

Still held 10p though which I think is a good sign. Agree skyhigh that the next couple of weeks should be interesting - there's just so much going on in the world of Pipex at present.

Interims tomorrow, on 12/7 PXC stated that sales/profits would be above market expectations, the sp is going nowhere atm, strange.

yeh. rubbish isn't it... don't know what has to happen for the sp to climb.. let's hope that interims/outlook exceed expectations

skyhigh------wi-max is a slowly does it imo and it just pushes the timescale further out. News (good) on the integration of Homecall would be nice.
