SingTel was trying to get out of its obligations to spin -off the ducts used in OpenNet into a seperate and independent entity. Without significant action by Singapore government, the investors could have been stranded.... login to read the rest
I don't think the parent was running low on cash. They have a net cash position, lines of credit and imminent proceeds from the sale of Spain. I think it was probably more likely a
The valuation looks low to me as well. They will have to record a loss on the sale, as they were carrying the investment in Opennet at $35m.

Rearden, would you mind expanding on Axia's business model? Some specific questions I have are:
Whatis the life cycle of a fiber optic project, and who owns the assets when that project is completed?
