@vvs, I honestly think a perpetually loss making Airtel can only acquire access through a very very "hostile" take over,ask why would somens want to further jeoperdize their baby? whereas even a strategic alliance, a non equity one with safcom would serve its interest best and at least give safcom backup fibre, with a chance for them to walk out healthy later. Anyway all in all i am not interested in seeing access crush(let alone airtel), hope access and the RIGHT buyers decide soon before.....
