Saw that the other day. Whether silly or impressive it leapfrogged from Hold(3) over Buy(2) to Strong Buy(1) in just a few days. We shall see.

Oh yeah!!!...well I give them a 3-Dog Rating with a "wooof wooof" upgrade in the works. Management gets a swirly dog-pile grade D- for their poor execution, bogus R&D (scam?), and milking the fruit of Divi.

This thing has got to be the Biggest POS stock I've ever run across in my short career.

MICROSOFT INVESTS IN PORTUGUESE CABLE

Or use your browser BACK button to return to the previous page. Microsoft is paying Portugal Telecom $38.6 million for a 2.5% stake in its cable unit, TV Cabo, as the telco sought further funding through a rights issue. Portugal Telecom owns 87.45% of TV Cabo – most of the other shareholders being Portuguese banks.
The alliance with Microsoft includes plans to jointly develop interactive video and data services in Portugal, and to launch broadband Internet services to residential customers, followed by digital TV and e-commerce applications.
TV Cabo expects to offer broadband internet access through the cable television network by July and interactive digital television by October. Portugal Telecom is expected to seek an IPO for 25% of TV Cabo later this year as it prepares for full liberalisation in 2000.
TV Cabo had approximately 568,400 cable subscribers and 28,700 satellite customers at the end of 1998.
