I too have been a 'long term supporter' of the company, but have not been considered in this capital raising.

Possibly they do like to have the cash firepower on hand should the right acquisition suddenly present itself, so I'll cut management some slack for now - mainly based on their track record to deliver for shareholders. Seems like the flurry of activity and consolidation in the Telco sector marches on .....

Will be watching closely though!
