Raymond, I agree with your analysis, especially your first point. But I think your missing something very fundamental here. C-Cube reported earnings of 25 cents a few weeks ago ( I'm not including the additional 3 cents ) beating street estimates by a penny and the Market subsequently sold the stock off 25%! C-Cube did not give any warning or raise any precautionary flags at the now famous conference call. Why was the stock sold off? There is a glaring lack of confidence in Management! The problem here is very serious and needs to be addressed. Shareholders of C-Cube need to become more active and vocal and address their concerns to Management as a unified force. Whining and howling on this thread will not accomplish anything for the share price. Decisive constructive action is needed.

'Wait and see' on digital scene

The government has rejected calls for an urgent and thorough review of the regulation of the broadcast and telecoms sectors. Instead, it has opened a consultation exercise, seeking industry views on how convergence between the sectors will have an impact on society and the relevant business sectors.

This evolutionary approach is a significant rebuff to a recent report from the media select committee, chaired by Gerald Kaufman, which argued strongly that, as convergence is already underway, a more streamlined regulatory body was needed. It also called for a specific date to be set for switching off analogue TV transmissions to encourage the take up of digital and interactive services.

The green paper from the DTI and the department of culture, media and sport recognises that the growth of the Internet and interactive services means convergence is important. But Chris Smith, culture minister, maintains that the present regulations "are sufficiently flexible to cope with the immediate challenge".
