TLS don't seem that interested in looking after the last 10% that are hard to make money from for good reason. That may be why NBN seem so keen to get involved with a genuine Aussie satellite? I think the right directors will bring the right contacts as you say, that can't hurt the SP.

For now we need some news, the good press was nice but it needs hard deals to follow as I'm sure they will. Put another way we all know deals have been done but putting a company to the income helps credibility.
