........."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".

Couldn't sell on line. Not surprised as no buys.

Looks like its going to be a long wait for these to recover. This whole thing makes no sense to me. When do we have end of year trading update ?

double bottom forming?

does that mean PXC will suddenly recover again and shoot up?

apparently in IC today . Dont know what the detail is , as its just noted as being in IC today by MoneyAM Friday press comment. Anyone read the article?

In the IC article they say it is a top 10 AIM share from there picks. "BROADBAND MARKET IS ONLY LIKELY TO GROW AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE BECOME AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY'S BENEFITS"
It all sound very positive- can't believe the shares still don't want to go up!

Pipex on the move up 3.7%. whats up ?

I am dreaming - What a start to a week - I am with one exception all blue (including Pipex) - shhhh !

Thus shares slip as Kingston swoops for rival Omnetica

JOHN BOWKER
SENIOR CITY CORRESPONDENT


KINGSTON Communications yesterday unveiled a 170 million swoop for a telecoms rival Omnetica - boosting the chances that Glasgow firm Thus will remain independent.

Shares in struggling Thus have been held up recently by talk of circling rivals, but yesterdays announcement turned the market off the idea.

Dan Gardiner, a telecoms analyst at Seymour Pierce, said: "The prospects of consolidation in the sector have diminished as a result of this announcement. Energis, Easynet, Fibrenet, Pipex - theyve all said they want to go it alone."

What to we make of a 4 mil transaction at 7.25p

Looks like a buy to me

Who woke this one up. It's blue. Are we heading back to 12p, probably not.

MS

City probably liked the Kingston news - May be Pipex potential will now be realised

8p on the offer; what's going on?

Oh I feel faint with all this excitment. What's going indeed.

MS

Level 2

5 v 5

this has been a good sign in the past that Pipex is about to take off!

here's hoping

Just wonder why UBS Investment Bank has been accumulating such a large holding. Is their 19.32% about to be sold on to a competitor?

I need to know. Think i will sit down and wait for the news.Wow !!!!

Troys

maybe they are leading a push by Dubens to take company private?

10p a share sounds about right?

You can bet your bottom dollar that UBS are up to something. Investment Banks do not accrue near 20% holdings for nothing. You can be sure their Merger and Acquisitions people have been involved. They are deal makers afterall. Lets see what transpires!
