Zat er aan te komen, omdat Thomson eind vorig jaar failliet is gegaan. Nu maar hopen dat KPN het modem niet helemaal dicht timmert zoals ze met de vorige hebben gedaan.
Ze zijn niet falliet gegaan maar een naamsverandering doorgevoed na een fusering. Thomson is per Januari 2010 Technicolor geworden. Zie onderstaand persbericht:

Paris, 27 January 2010 The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Thomson (Euronext 18453; NYSE: TMS) was held today, chaired by Frederic Rose, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the presence of the Board of Directors and of Thomson’s senior management.
Shareholders of the Group approved all resolutions, including those pertaining to the Restructuring Plan made public by Thomson on 9 December 2009, and already approved by all creditors’ committees (Suppliers, Lenders and Noteholders) on 21 & 22 December 2009.
In addition, the shareholders approved the change of name of the Group to “Technicolor”. As of Monday, February 1st, the Company will trade on NYSE Euronext Paris under the Technicolor symbol (TCH).
As proposed by Frederic Rose, the roles of Chairman and CEO will be separated under a new governance structure, following the conclusion of the sauvegarde proceeding expected in February. The position had been combined in 2009 in light of the crisis facing the company.
Frederic Rose, Chairman & CEO, commented:
"We are delighted that Shareholders have given their full backing to our restructuring plan. This is a new start for our Group under the Technicolor brand”.
