Talk:CANTV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've merged what information I could from the subsidiary articles and redirected them here. Babelfish can't help me with translating the corporate home page because most of it is done in Flash. A little assistance would be great.  RasputinAXP  c 17:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

"When the company was privatized in 1991, the company transformed into a competitive company, with high quality supply of its products and services. [...] All of them focused with a deep knowledge of the necessities of its clients." Advertisement? I mean, the problem is due to solve itself, but this is not an encyclopedic article.

[edit] some restructuring

I made some changes, moving around some text and rewriting parts. I added a POV template to a section that was originally cut/pasted from the 2006 [annual report] of the company. This explains the "us" referring to the company itself. I left that in on purpose, so not to mask the source of the statement. If someone feels like it, they can rewrite the whole section to NPOV language. László (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] history of the entity

I was going to include a reference to Cantv's own description of its history from its corporate website here ; unfortunately many of its dates and claims are fictitious. They are wildly at odds with contemporary newspaper reports in the London Times or the annual reports to shareholders filed by Venezuela Telephone And Electrical Appliances Company, and its successor Telephone Properties Ltd. which was wound up a year after nationalization (which, for example, happened in 1953, not 1950 as Cantv's website claims). These reports only make reference to a British Managing director, Bailey, and local staff in general terms, leaving me uncertain as to the notability of Félix A. Guerrero and his compadres.
