All those new businesses that they set up/invested over the years have been relatively low in terms of capital investment.....SHAW was probably the biggest upfront and ongoing investment and although I could not see (in fact still cannot see) the overlap between the skills in ICT vs SHAW, Maxine seems to have pulled it off by building a (marginally) profitable business. I guess they have to decide whether there are any benefits to scale in this industry (perhaps name recognition, but you would need qualified people in each business which then limits the operating leverage unlike retail sales).

Anyway, lets see what Maxine does pull off, but fingers crossed that they don't try to replace ICT with a business that has weaker economics else that would be poor result for shareholders.
