tug of war ahead?

Pure speculation but it's not out of the question now we have two heavyweights enamoured with Coldry and it's potential in their own countries.

China Datang VS Tincom...

Control over Coldry IP is worth scapping over if you are talking about matters of 'National Signifigance'. I'd say Tincom would have their feathers ruffled to say the least if Datang suddenly appeared as a major shareholder... and that's a distinct possibility if the 9 hour burn gives them satisfaction.

I'm surprised Tincom haven't moved already and injected some cash in return for a cornerstone stake. Perhaps the behemoth from China will prove lighter on its feet...a tug of war would be a tasty proposition indeed.

A full takeover would be little more than take-out money for the pair of them.
