Virgin Media has reported adding 130,000 premises to its £3bn full-fibre Project Lightning connections in its second quarter, bringing the total to 1.8 million.
The business had originally planned to connect 4 million premises to speeds of 300Mbps by the end of 2019, but that aim appears to have been quietly dropped.
Instead it is now betting big on its hybrid fibre DOCSIS (data over cable service interface specification) 3.1 technology – pledging to connect up to 15 million homes to 1Gbps speeds by 2021.
No doubt this is in part a response to noises made from UK prime minister Boris Johnson that he wants full fibre by 2025.
While DOCSIS 3.1 isn't a fibre product, it can achieve full-fibre speeds.
Mike Fries, chief exec of Liberty Global, which owns Virgin Media, claimed the launch of 1Gbps speeds put the company "miles ahead of other UK operators".
The Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Boris Johnson has cast doubt on the prospects of a trade agreement with the US under the president-elect, Joe Biden.
He said a deal will not be a pushover.Read more at: https://bit.ly/2JF7OHV
Broadband customer acquisitions bolstered the financials, though these gains were mainly offset by customer losses in TV and mobile.
“Our disciplined and balanced approach to customer acquisition and capital expenditure has seen a return to growth in our sector-leading cable ARPU and strong free cash flow generation,” said Lutz Schüler, CEO of Virgin Media.
“Underpinning this is the continued success of our network expansion, new initiatives to improve sales and customer service and our fixed-mobile Oomph bundles which have already seen a doubling of customers attaching a mobile SIM to their package with meaningfully higher ARPU.”
An important aspect to always consider when discussing convergence is the incremental nature; this is a strategy which casts an eye to the horizon.
Quarter-on-quarter you might not see the benefits, but in a few years’ time, a few will look back and wonder how they got by without such a considered approach to customer management, acquisition and retention.
Looking at the business objectives, there are four strategic pillars; converged customer contracts, increased sales efficiencies, improvement in base management and digital transformation.
In the last three years, the civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing industries in the country.
India is now considered the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake the United Kingdom to become the third-largest air passenger market by 2024.
Some of the key investments and developments in India’s aviation industry include:
In the next four years, India’s aviation industry is expected to witness Rs 35,000 crore (US$ 4.99 billion) investment.
By 2026, the Indian government plans to invest US$ 1.83 billion as a part of the development planning of airport infrastructure along with aviation navigation services
In January 2019, the Government of India began working on a blueprint to promote domestic manufacturing of aircraft and aircraft financing within the country.
In the hot summer of 2004, the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee stood defeated despite delivering good governance to the country.
Even the countrymen were shocked as to what had led to his defeat.
The Lok Sabha election of 2004 is probably the only election in the history of independent India in which reasons for the defeat of India’s one of the most beloved Prime Ministers are still not known.
Well, after his defeat, Congress party once again came to power in 2004 and enjoyed the developmental legacy of the Vajpayee government, especially the GDP growth momentum of 8% and above.
But soon, this momentum started to lose its sheen.
Projects started to come to halt and around 2009, India began to slip into that abyss of big-ticket corruption, appeasement politics and utter chaos.
To be able to create this buzz, the media will use unique techniques to get the attention of their readers.
The press will say that an event will come out that is completely unrelated to their show or book.
In this manner, the press will find the news story out before schedule.
Many media outlets are caught out by the phenomenon in the united kingdom.
The Sun Newspaper will have been criticized by newspapers across the world.
Even the Prime Minister, David Cameron, has also had to take care of criticism from the media regarding the inflated headlines, in an effort to garner much more attention to their own media outlets.
It would be an understatement to call him just the ‘Champion Of Development’, because he also excels in every other role of an ideal Prime Minister.
