In fact, there are no fewer than 2.2m households in the UK which suffer from inadequate broadband speeds - defined by the government’s as below its indicated minimum acceptable speeds of 10Mbps - according to the most recent British Infrastructure Group’s report. Small and medium sized businesses operating in these areas are impacted too. Moreover, this is not just a UK-centric problem, as industry estimates suggest 22m of the 216m households across Europe suffer from dire broadband speeds. The UK government is trying to address this issue. As part of its Broadband Delivery UK intervention (BDUK) programme the plan is to deliver superfast broadband to 90 per cent of the population by the end of this year, rising to 95 per cent by the end of 2017. Currently, 78 per cent of households have a broadband connection, up from 65 per cent five years ago. The problem being that even if this target is reached it doesn’t mean all households will be able to access superfast coverage (deemed to be 24Mbps capability). That’s because some premises are simply located too far from the cabinet that provides access to high download speeds, so are still reliant on far slower coverage. Technology analyst Michael Armitage at a broking house Arden Partners believes that even if 80 per cent of premises get superfast speeds by the year-end, in rural areas where line lengths are inevitably longer than the national average, the figure “will often be as low as 50 per cent”. He has a point as there are swathes of the country labouring under sub-1Mbps download speeds, a situation that has largely remained unchanged in the past five years even though average broadband speeds have soared fivefold to in excess of 30Mbps in the same period. Blue sky thinking The obvious solution to this problem is to look to do some blue sky thinking, quite literally, and look to a satellite internet service provider to provide an alternative high speed broadband service. However, the typical £300 to £400 upfront cost of the equipment required to access satellite broadband can be a deterrent. That’s one reason why the government announced at the tail end of last year a scheme to defray the entire cost of equipment purchase. It’s very good news for satellite providers, and for Satellite Solutions Worldwide<http://markets.investorschronicle.co.uk/research/Markets/Companies/Summary?s=SAT:LSE> (SAT: 5.5p), a small cap company that listed on Aim last May, in particular. SSW’s Europasat satellite business currently has 12,000 customers, representing 35 per cent of the total in the UK, and following a n
This has also been tipped by Cenko's. Lots of good media coverage at the moment.
I am anticipating more news to come as well as results - hopefully from afar if my hunch is right and from chats with other investors on other sites.....!!!
Must be coming soon - hopefully this week??
Funny how there is no interest or any discussion on any bulletin boards until we get a decent article and it appears the management are working hard to get SSW's name into the spotlight, out come the negative trolls.......

Thanks Iain...
Has anyone got an idea when we will start to see some results and figures from all these acquisitions. I feel the market really needs to see some tangible results to get some idea of the potential and growth of this company. It seems that acquiring new company's signing deals with BT doesn't have the desired affect. I am amazed that the stock price has remained so static. Bizarre.
From what I have heard they are now focusing on company awareness and making the markets realise what they have been doing over the last 6 months. I think once realisation takes place there will have to be some sort of stock price adjustment. I think that due to the current turmoil in markets with commodities being so badly hit that focus is on that at the moment. As long as we remain patient and they continue with this growth strategy we will tap the rewards soon. Good to see news paper articles involving property tycoon Candy involved will increase public awareness. Some great news of late.
I hope something comes soon to wake the market up about this company because it certainly isn't being loved at the moment. And it certainly doesn't want to get over the 4.40 mark. Anyone know when results are due....March...??
I don't think me advising you to do some research will affect the stock price of Sat or who wants to invest. The shares on issue is 308 mill and I would hazard a guess that they have probably around one million left from the initial float. However with over 25000 customers from the four acquisition since floating in May cash generation will be much better this year. There is also a new government scheme being launched in the UK to support those without Internet access of which I am sure we will be a big part of. I hope this helps

I don't mean to be rude but the questions you are asking are pretty much all on the main sat board. Think you should spend a bit more time researching before you commit some money. This isn't me being rude I just think some more understanding might be worth while. Cheers happy new year
The new ticker code is SAT not.opened any where near the price I was hoping. Probably under the radar at the moment as people have been looking for SSW.
Oops. ;-)
Johnnydurex, I think you will find that people aren't pretending to be in the know.it is the date that keeps being given as the expected floatation date on the london stick exchange website. Just so you are aware. It now says the 12th. Cheers
Should be refloating this week as SSW exciting prospect very intrigued to see what price it will re open at. I am hoping g it will be 10p + with a strong base for much more growth. It will then hopefully be the turn of mith. Exciting times ahead very strong backing, great management team and high hopes for strong growth. Have a good week all.
