SIA has invited all MIIF holders to have a meeting. WHY?
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

1. Youtube
2. Online streaming of HK drama? How can share?
3. There is the set top box I hear, can watch all channels except EPL football. The device is one time cost... of course made in china

Its SIAS and not SIA! A lot of difference!! 
The letter said 'the dialogue session with senior representatives of MIIF who will provide MIIF shareholders with relevant information regarding the Proposed Distribution and assistance to MIIF shareholders in completing the Notice of Cash Election form'.
I'm also not sure why but I will take it at face value that they are indeed just trying to help. 
Oops! Sorry and thank you for the correction.

Any ideas what will happen to the shares owned by MIIF if their unit-holders opted for cash instead of APTT units ? Will MIIF dispose of it open market upon trading or is there a lock up period ? Thanks.

good artile CY09. thanks for that.
i see what mediacorp wants to do with Toggle and how Netflix is modelling after HBO that the trend for Pay TV is to become an App that delivers exclusive content with some complementary ones that the users like to watch. It doesnt matter which device, as long as they have an account to Toggle.
Note that, like Newspapers, there might be localised cultural aspect. Taiwanese may be very traditional when it comes to how they consume that. Eventually, they can do a Toggle like service that rides on their infra.
TBC have a broadband component, and if their content is good, they would do ok since they own the pipe.
The broadband and fiber is still a must to deliver all these hd content.
