Darren has his work cut out: some perspective
For the longest time the punditry has been alluding to the competition from Shaw-Rogers, or high interest rates etc etc etc (the usual suspects) as a cause of the malaise in s/p decline. Well they were all wrong. The core business we learn has been performing to expectations. Indeed it is breaking records.
"Total Mobile and Fixed customer growth of 293,000, up 46,000 over last year, and our strongest second quarter on record, driven by strong demand for our leading portfolio across Mobility and Fixed services"
Yet guidance given a few weeks ago is being revised downward by 17% because of a boondoggle in NY. Did they miss the looming storm-clouds or was it a 1000 year deluge like the one in Montpelier?
Forecasting business parameters is an essential role of management. Nonetheless, ---t happens, and occasionally, even to the best. Witness the US military, renowned the world over for its logistics. They woke up one day to OOPS! We've run out of 155mm shells. Aren't there some old cluster bombs in inventory?
As Chair, Darren ought to have some serious questions for management at TI.
