next report.. profit maybe, page-2

nah there will always be some event that keeps HTA down. I was looking forward to some results last year but the closure of the cdma network killed that, and now Telstra has a national 850Mhz 3G network and Voda and Optus are rolling out 900Mhz 3G to regional hubs, HTA can only grow within the saturated capitals.

Unless of course they use the newly acquired 850Mhz spectrum (only Telstra and Hutch own this ideal spectrum) from TNZ to also launch into a new national network but there is absolutly no way they will get the funding to do that. Debt is still killing HTA even after last years rejig.

I believe our best chance is if they sell off the 850 spectrum to telstra so they can expand there NextG without capacity limitations, or to OPEL for the national broadband. But OPEL just bought spectrum from AUSTAR so..

we're boned.... HTA is only good for a capital loss bank.

Add to that Barry Roberts Thompson, australian founder and a significant shareholder via leanrose owns a stack of worthless shares and options that HTA have to keep lending him more and more loot to prop up the holding. Come the day when he has to sell we'll take a massive hit on share price.

I'm not bitter at all.................
