Alice Enders was quoted in an article discussing the Competition Commission's order to Cineworld to sell three UK cinemas in response to a ruling by regulators that there is "considerable overlap" between audiences and screenings at its multiscreen venues and the art house chain it bought last year. She said " the two other chains dominating the market [Odean and Vue Entertainment] will not be able to acquire them. This isn't a regular sale - it's a fire sale."

Benedict Evans was quoted in an article discussing sale figures for the iPhones 5S and 5C. He said that Apple "blew the doors off" with its opening weekend. He states that " there's clearly still strong underlying organic growth and it appears that this is without substantial demand for the 5C, which is not an early-adopter/queue overnight sort of product."

Benedict Evans was quoted in an article discussing the launch of the Tesco Hudl tablet next week. He said that " Tesco's strategic imperative is to start building up people's sense that the company is a place to go to get things digitally." He added the problem for Tesco is that the iPad is getting cheaper, offers a better user experience and a greater range of apps than Android tablets such as the Hudl. " If money was not an object, you would never buy the Hudl."

Benedict Evans was quoted in an article discussing the cheaper iPhone 5C. Talking about the possible cost, he said that "a $200 to $300 price is required to be truly mass market, selling more than 10m units and fending off the competition threat from Android."  

Ian Maude was quoted in an article discussing the recent appointment of Dawn Airey, a former chairman and chief executive of UK commercial TV broadcaster Five, as Head of Yahoo's operations in Europe. "I can see why they've hired someone with experience in media and TV as they try to shift advertising budgets out of traditional media and into the internet" he said. "It is going to be a huge challenge for anyone but it says a lot about the Yahoo brand they've managed to attract someone of her experience."

Claire Enders was quoted in an article discussing BT's sports deal with Virgin Media. She said that "it looks like a fairly defensive move from both parties." "Of course, BT has given up the long-term strategic value of BT Sport in terms of winning customers off Virgin Media, but it would be churlish of us to focus on this downside given that we never believed the upside in the first place."

Benedict Evans was quoted in an article on the FT's Tech Hub about a rally in the share prices of several major internet companies. One of the main beneficiaries was Facebook. “There’s a hunger for something that looks like a mobile stock that’s a good investment,” Benedict commented. “The Facebook spike reflects people hunting for places to put money that look like a mobile play.”

An article on the possible disruption to desktop-oriented internet companies by the growth of mobile quoted Benedict Evans, who discussed the case of Facebook. “It may not matter that lots of people are using WhatsApp – they are using Facebook too,” he said. “It may be a different dynamic [on mobile] – that Facebook hasn’t won in the way they have on the desktop, but that may not matter.”
