SELL	14.790	Gavin Graham	Dividend is not going to hold up. Whenever you see double digit payouts, at some point it will have to adjusted.	2012-03-15

BUY	15.370	Darren Sissons	Is in a reasonable position from the balance sheet point of view.	2012-03-01

SELL	15.870	Gavin Graham	Number of European telecoms have decent dividend yields but this one has had its stock dropping over the last 5 years so it is regarded as having ex-growth. If you want a European telecom, you might consider switching to Vodafone (VOD-Q) or Telefonica (TEF-N).	2012-02-24

Comment	14.940	Karl Berger	Anything to do with France at this time, and particularly with this company, will be heavily weighted by what happens in France and you need a longer time horizon than 1 year. Telecom space is pretty solid at this stage. Balance sheets are good and dividends are reasonable.	2012-01-20

WEAK BUY	20.880	Don Reed	It’s in the emerging markets in Telecom. French government owns 27% and he wonders when they will get rid of it. Nice yield. It will not do a major sprint.	2011-03-15

BUY	28.860	Don Reed	Telecom. They don't do much outside of France. Well-run. On a valuation basis, it is probably one of the cheaper European telecoms. Performance won't be dramatic, but he is very comfortable with the yields.	2007-07-12

DON'T BUY	27.820	Paul Harris, CFA	A lot of telecoms in Europe pay a better dividend than Canadian ones. Doesn't like the sector over the long term. A lot of capital expenditure they have to go through. Margins are being eroded.	2007-04-12
