Ah, yes, the Ojo videophone.

In 2011, Pervasip announced a new business venture: the Ojo videophone:

Expectations were high: 50,000 videophones with a $29.95 monthly subscription each.

The Ojo was to be pimped on the Home Shopping Network, generating high sales.

Sales and revenues never materialized. The Ojo manufacturer, WorldGate, was on the edge of bankruptcy, and finally closed its doors in early 2012. Pervasip had wasted one year on a doomed venture.

I had warned repeatedly IH PVSP denizens that the Ojo could not sell, because it could only establish a video connection with other Ojo phones, not with computers or cell phones as the market wanted, and that the manufacturer was financially broke.

Pervasip lost $4.5 million dollars in 2011, and its O/S went from 6.8 million shares to 99.5 million shares during that single fiscal year. Traders where thrilled by the volume.
PVSP started 2011 at $0.05, fell to $0.01, rebounded to an incredible $0.08 ($0.10 intraday) with the NetCapital announcement, and finished the year a strong $0.02 after the G3 Connect $1M investment news.

Those were the days. Of mega-dilution. How things change.
