Mr Guiness keeps us abreast on twitter he keeps saying we will trade again any anticipation of when will that happen?

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.

$0.0005-$0.0010 maybe? Commissions would be the only annoying factor given volume.
Anyone successful on loading up this garbage at the bid?
AVVH up 64% already and if it breaks the next resisitance of .003, we should see it continue to .012 with few bumps along the way. 500% to 1000% potential gains
just do ur dd and find out, its foolish to invest blindly anyways.
in a nutshell, a finance company basically wants first option at financing AVVH, undoubtedly because of the obvious potential.
however AVVH says no. Reagrdless of the outcome AVVH, is positioned for major gains as there are plenty of beautiful things on the horizon for 2010. although a favorable cour ruling which is more than likely, will cause it to go back to the pennies where it belongs.
btw, their new website was just announced earlier today

I can not really say at this point. I am still doing research to try and find financial information. The share price as you can see is being manipulated presently, whereas the spread on the bid and ask is not quite there.
Talked with the Chairmen of the Board.
It appears that the first quarter of 2010 is going to be very exciting for TELLI.
A number of efforts will be underway and the company will strive to be current in reporting to the Pinksheet and apply for listing on a higher exchange.
Sure hope I can start buying this one with some funds in the new year. I spoke to him about being issued a licenses to run my own Telli site.

PLAN FOR ESTABLISHING
TELLI INFORMATION CENTERS
IN AREAS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
OVERVIEW
Guinness Telli*Phone has completed the development of a reproductive Internet information system for the purpose of setting up online community centers containing comprehensive local information on movies, events, products, services, reviews and news as well as providing consumer redemption coupons; all accessible through personal computers and mobile devices.
Each local information center is managed by a "multi-dimensional" search engine for people to find specific information instantly and serves as an affordable subscription based target advertising platform for small businesses, retailers, groups and associations to promote themselves on the Internet and highlight themselves in their communities.
Our first Information Center, Telli Marin at www.telli.com, has been operating successfully for a number of years without any customer support and now we are preparing to set up additional centers in other geographical locations, managed by people living in the areas being served. (See Executive Summary at www.telli.com/guinness.)
Telli Information Centers are maintained on our servers and the servers contain easy to use administrative software and design tools that do not require any computer programming skills to operate.
1) For local organizations and "at home" businesses to list, modify and enhance their information directly from their personal computers and constantly review their viewer statistics to evaluate the success of their promotions.
2) For the Licensees of Telli Centers to be able to manage their centers on our servers through personal computers to…
(a) maintain and update the information for their areas,
(b) modify the structure of their search engines to insure each center remains unique to the areas being served, and
(c) assist subscribers in designing TelliPages and colorful banners for display on Telli's advertising platforms.
We have prepared the following material for our Licensees.
1) Telli licensing agreements outlining the direction and responsibilities of Licensees and their share of the revenues generated from their centers through Telli's automated subscription billing and payment system.
2) Step by step operational, maintenance and marketing manuals.
3) Market tested advertising materials that Licensees may distribute in their areas to promote their Telli Centers.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND GROWTH
Investment Needed
To launch our growth into other areas, we are raising up to $2 million through a 5-Year Preferred Convertible Stock offering paying an annual 10% dividend. Preferred shares will be sold at $1.00 per share and may be converted into common stock at the rate of ten common shares for each preferred share purchased.
Use of Proceeds
Once sufficient capital has been raised to insure an ongoing operation, it will be used as follows.
1) To contract a couple of local professional sales people (Telli Advertising Consultants) in Marin County to substantially increase Telli Marin subscription revenues by providing personal subscriber advertising assistance and design support to establish a highly profitable working model for Licensees to emulate.
2) To hire and train a staff of Initial Listing Editors to begin setting up new local Telli Centers with all local listings in their appropriate "Telli micro categories" and a Licensee Marketing Coordinator to seek out and license the centers, as they are completed, to qualified marketing individuals and small newspapers to manage and generate income from royalties on local advertising revenues in their areas. Beginning with counties adjacent to Marin County, we will circle the Bay Area to cover the suburban areas where there is little competition before setting up the city of San Francisco. A similar plan will be followed to establish Telli Centers in other major metropolitan areas.
3) To bring the Company's audited statements current and file a super 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to bring the Company compliant and return to the OTCBB.
4) To launch an ongoing stock promotion program to announce the above and provide continuous news on Telli's growth into new areas, income and profitability to support the value of the Company's shares.

TELLI'S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Telli offers a comprehensive online Local Information Center with features not offered by search directories. Telli Local Information Centers are programmed with extensive variables that provide superior performance for End Users and more affordable target advertising for local businesses.
A Telli Local Information Center focuses on a community and lists every business and organization in the area serves as well as movie, entertainment and event listings and schedules as well as classifieds and redemption coupons. Initially, Telli listings are downloaded directly to the Telli website and modified into Telli's extensive "micro categories" by a local Telli editor. Listings can be added by people in the area through their computer using Telli's simple software tools at no charge.
Business listings are provided by the telephone company servicing the area (not commercial lists which are expensive and not up to date) and are updated from monthly telephone installation data detailing new listings, disconnects and listing changes in the area.
People can enter and update their business listings and categories at no charge (providing listings not in the local phone directory, businesses operating from mobile devices and home businesses using residential telephones).
Telli offers End Users two options to search for specific information.
Entering a request in the Telli Search Window.
Choosing from an exclusive hierarchy of menu driven categories to generate a list of businesses that focus on a specific area of interest and then filtering the list further by clicking on cities and alternate micro-categories. (e.g. First displaying a list of restaurants in Marin with outdoor dining and then refining the list further by choosing only those in a specific area with a view, a full bar, a children's menu and serving fish & chips.)
At a minimum, every free Telli listing provides End Users with a comprehensive, organized display of information.
A list of the all the categories under which each listing appears in Telli to give viewers a complete overview of the kinds of products and services offered by the business or organization displayed.
A link to a map showing the location of each business and directions to its location.
A link to a specific website page.
A link to related Telli listings (e.g. physicians linked to a medical center office or attorneys to a law firm).
A contact link to send the business an email (without revealing the email address of the business to the user).
A link to reviews created by End Users.
A link for End Users to add the business to their Telli Favorites List to receive automatic updates.
For one low monthly subscription fee businesses can join the Telli Promotional Platform and enhance their listings directly on the Telli website through their computers using Telli's simple Subscriber Software Tools. (Post a colorful business ad, display a graphic listing icon or logo, be featured on the Telli Home Page, appear at the top of Telli's category lists, create a mini Website, display coupons, set up an events calendar, check monthly statistics to track the number of times their listings are viewed and encourage people to sign up to receive email updates.) All information, pricing and step-by-step guidance is provided on the Telli website.
TELLIPAGES ATTRACT MORE VIEWERS!
For a low flat-rate impression fee businesses can place small click-through banners on Telli's category pages.
The Telli Administrative System has the software programming and infrastructure to allow qualified Licensees, with no knowledge of programming, to manage, maintain and oversee the Local Information Center operations for their local areas through their personal computers. In addition, a central tracking and reporting system allows the Telli central office to oversee the performance of all Telli Licensees.
To fill a market void, initially Telli is establishing comprehensive Local Information Centers for suburban areas surrounding major cities.
Almost all local directories presently available service only large cities, are not current, contain limited information, are usually owned by the major newspaper in the area and focus on local news.
Telli plans to enter the suburban areas around major cities and, if history repeats itself, replace any local directories that presently exist in those areas. (When Telli Marin established itself in Marin County, the local major newspaper, the Marin Independent Journal, shut down the online business directory available on its website.)
Our first Telli Information Center, Telli Marin, is accessible at www.telli.com and covers Marin County, CA (Population 250,000) and contains 3,800 micro-categories and over 22,000 up-to-date listings. In June 2004, Telli Marin was generating less than 2,000 page views per month.
Today people in Marin check out over 10,000 listings a day on Telli Marin with an annual growth rate in users and advertising revenues of over 40% supported only by small mailings to targeted businesses.
In addition, over 500,000 times a month Google and other search engines access Telli Marin categories to pick up listings for display as links on their websites; thus providing extended exposure for Telli business subscribers.

What places Telli in a position to be a leader in the local search and advertising industry?
A 2006 Local Search Advertising report from research firm Borrell Associates reported that "a local search company established like a large TV network with multiple local affiliates could readily establish a strong foothold in individual communities than nationwide players. Google doesn't have that," commented Borrell. "Local media and search firms that work from a truly local level would relegate everybody else to mere content providers."
Most sites don't participate in the community they enable, reports Marchex in its 2008 Local Online Advertising Report. "Local sites need to understand the customers' needs. Participation (in the community) is what makes the most popular portals successful."
Telli has invested in only research and development since 1992 without promoting its products in the marketplace. What was the purpose of this limited approach and what has Telli accomplished?
It is well known that the radio and television programs, the newspapers and magazines and the Internet sites with the most viewers, attract the largest amount of advertising dollars. Telli spent time learning how to attract the most viewers to its local information in its model site, Telli Marin.
1992-1998: Early research, development and testing of various programming systems to distribute information to people through computers.
1998-1999: Established and trained a staff of programmers to set up Telli Marin and its multi-level, user friendly search system on the Internet.
1999-2000: Established a staff of editors and programmers to:
download AT&T listing for Marin County into Telli Marin.
create an extensive category search system with extensive micro-focused categories.
modify the downloaded entries into Telli's new expanded list of over 3,500 micro categories.
2000-2001: Maintained a small staff of sales and marketing people to develop and test various promotional and community joint venture programs to generate viewers for Telli Marin.
2002-2003: Developed simple do-it-yourself programming systems and tools for people to be able to:
enter their own information in Telli Marin
create and design colorful Internet TelliPages.
2003-2005: Created the Telli Administrator and an automated subscription payment system to simplify the management of entering, updating, modifying and managing information in Telli for the purpose of licensing others, without computer programming skills, to operate Telli Local Information Centers in their areas.
2005: Conducted a multi-level advertising campaign throughout Marin County, created by advertising professionals and running during an 8 week period (from the end of May to the middle of July) to determine the most successful and cost-effective means of encouraging people to use Telli Marin.
Also, began offering online subscriptions for businesses to add information to their listings in Telli Marin.
2006-2007: Began experimenting with various targeted, inexpensive direct mail programs to familiarize potential advertisers with the advantages of "do-it-yourself" advertising in Telli Marin.
2008-Present: Discontinued all advertising and promotion of Telli Marin to evaluate the following factors on Telli's growth.
the effect Google has on the number of viewers using Telli Marin.
the number of businesses continuing to sign up for advertising subscriptions.
the results Telli may experience when Telli Local Information Centers are first established without any marketing support and before being licensed to local operators.
How much is invested in the development of Telli?
Over $25 million has been documented in Telli's audited statements.
What significant results has Telli obtained through its research and development?
People living in the community rave about Telli for the following reasons.
The information is comprehensive and always up-to-date.
The Telli Home page gives them a complete overview of Marin's products, services and local events.
They find Telli's multi-dimensional search system is fast and easy to use and gets them the specific information they need to meet their individual needs without having to be computer literate.
Almost all users of Telli Marin learn about it by word of mouth from others in the community or when they search for local information on Google and other major search sites.
70% to 80% of people will not enter their own information in Telli Marin without assistance, for the following reasons.
The majority of people are challenged by computer technology and not experienced enough with computers to feel confident to create information on the Internet.
They don't know what to say about themselves, or how to say it.
Most existing Telli subscribers…
learned about Telli Marin's impact on local advertising while searching Google for local information. (Google copies Telli listings for display on its site.)
enhanced their free listing information and created their own TelliPages online using Telli's do-it-yourself programming tools without contacting us for any assistance.
Once becoming Telli paid advertising subscribers, 98% never cancel their paid subscriptions.
50% of all Telli paid advertising subscribers begin with a month to month subscription ($9.95 per month) and then move into an annual subscription ($99) within six to nine months.
During small direct selling market tests we conducted from time to time, 100% of businesses we approached to advertise in Telli Marin became paid subscribers immediately after we offered to create and design their TelliPages for them in return for a small design fee ($200 - a website page purchased through a web designer can cost a minimum of $500 for one single page).
What sincere, qualified people contacted Telli, unsolicited, to obtain a license to operate a Telli Information Center in their area?
Minneapolis, MN (individual)
Wichita, KS (individual)
Long Island, NY (individual)
Farfax County, VA (group)
State of Texas (investment group)
Los Angeles, CA (newspaper syndicate)
Santa Clara County, CA (group)
Napa County, CA (individual)
Contra Costa County, CA (individual)
Sacramento County, CA (individual)
Vancouver, BC Canada (investment group)
Latino Information Centers throughout the United States (group)
Germany (individual)
Why is Telli raising new capital at this time?
To begin offering personalized customer service for Telli Marin by setting up commission sales consultants to sell Telli advertising subscriptions and assist advertisers with TelliPage designs to substantially increase revenues immediately to show Telli Marin as a profitable model. (Base Salaries: $3,000 per month x 3 sales people x 6 months = $54,000)
Establish and train a team of listing editors to begin setting up Telli Local Information Centers in counties adjoining Marin beginning with...
Sonoma County (2 months, 8 editors @ $4,000/mo. each = $64,000
Napa County (1 month, 8 editors @ $4,000/mo. each = $32,000
Establish a Telli Information Center for West Los Angeles to complete a joint venture with a newspaper syndicate of local newspapers to establish proof that local newspapers can increase their revenues with almost no additional overhead. ($50,000 for set up and coordination)
Complete the licensing of one Telli Information Center for a trade group to operate a Center for their members. (Administrative and Marketing = $40,000)
Retain our auditors and securities attorney to complete Guinness Telli*Phone's SEC reporting documentation and file a Super 8-K with the SEC to return TELI to the Bulletin Board. ($90,000)
What does Telli hope to achieve with this new capital?
The above will provide benchmarks and positive statistics for the successful growth of Telli through various methods of licensing and build significant value for its shares.
Within 6 months Guinness expects to announce significant and ongoing progress and stand out as a leader in the field of "local search and advertising" to accelerate its progress in establishing Telli Information Centers in other areas around the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout North America.
Notes: Under Federal rules, the Company cannot receive more than $500 for the sale of a license. A fee of more than $500 makes it a franchise and requires the filing of extensive and expensive documentation with the Federal Trade Commission and the Commissioners of Corporations for many states in the U.S. (including the State of California) before being able to even offer a franchise for sale.
Telli's approach is to establish local Telli Information Centers in various areas itself, and then license them to qualified individuals and groups to promote, manage, fund and maintain their operations and growth, in exchange for royalties on revenues.
Telli will continue to maintain the Telli servers that house the Telli Information Centers, administer the Telli subscriber Automated Electronic Billing and Payment systems on behalf of Licensees and manage the electronic distribution of royalties.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FROM FINANCIAL CONTACTS
The "local advertising" market seems to be packed with many players. Some very big and a multitude that are very small. The real question is whether the big will effectively get bigger at the expense of the smaller ones. 71% of all online advertising is controlled by 10 companies. That leaves a much smaller pie for the thousands of smaller companies vying for the 29 cents of every dollar left in the pie.
We are not dependant on the smaller pie. We will take advertising dollars from the major companies in the marketplace whose sites are simply local "directories".
I tested out a few keywords on Google to find Telli Marin listings. Some keywords seem to work quite impressively while a few others brought no results on the first page. For example "Marin County builders" or "Marin County contractors" seem to get no showing of Telli on the first page but with "Marin County hairdressers" and "Marin County cinema" you were near for at the top on the first page.
I won't comment on Google results because they keep changing every day and you get a different set of results depending on your search entry.
e.g. In regard to your search for "contractors", enter the words "Marin Contractors" in the Google Search bar and you will see what I mean.
I also noticed several other local competitors who seemed to be ahead of you on some issues. One in particular was offering a monthly listing with a link to the advertiser's website (assuming the advertiser has one of course) for only $2 or $5/month depending on the content.
As I mentioned before, and as our statistics show, website links are no big deal. TelliPages and Telli's "Local Advertising Platform" generate considerably more results for advertisers than their websites do.
See, http://www.telli.com/marin/listings/B24961 and http://www.telli.com/marin/listings/B37703.
COMMENT
What I am getting at is that you need to nail your USPs and differentiate yourself from everything else in the "local advertising" marketplace. A software solution that took 10 years and $25 million to develop, and can deliver more effective results than anyone else and here's the proof! Now we are going to roll it out and take over the world!!! That seems to be a much more compelling argument than the one you are currently making.
I have read through your material several times and I still do not see a clear and concise explanation of why your system is so much better than other solutions and why it will bring more, better quality traffic than your competitors. There is no explanation relating to the huge investment that was made in development or of the resulting software.
Telli "Multi-Dimensional" Search is powered by a combination of keyword search engines, menu search systems and simple variable category click-through filtering systems making it easy for people to instantly target everyday products, services and information in their community through their computers and mobile devices without spending time surfing through large amounts of irrelevant information.
(e.g. Try searching Google or any other search engine for seafood restaurants in Marin County that have all the following additional variables: a view, entries under $15, outdoor dining, that are child-friendly, with a full bar and serving fish and chips - only 45 - 60 seconds on Telli Marin.)

You mention admin software and design tools that don't require programming skills to operate. These kinds of software packages are available free all over the web. BlueVoda is a typical example that will enable you to design and build your own website free and with no training. It is just intuitive software. There are many examples of these. An organization like Clickbank can do all of the billing and collection.
First, I refer you to the above comment on the success of TelliPages vs. Websites.
Second, the Telli subscriber development tools are more than just design tools and are available through the Telli website, making Telli a do-it-yourself "Advertising Platform" and not just a website creation tool. Below is a list of the Telli Subscriber Advertising Platform tools that subscribers access through their subscriber advertising platform menu page.
· My Favorites
Link a TelliPage to your Favorites List so you will be automatically alerted to any changes, updates, specials, new products, etc., posted by Telli Subscribers.
· My Alerts

· My Reviews
Read, edit, update or delete reviews that you have posted.
· My Calendar
Create a calendar to display your special events, sales, etc.
· Edit My User Profile
Change your email address, password, etc.
· Post, Edit or Delete a Classified
· Post, Edit or Delete an Event
· Banner Campaigns
A list of your banner campaigns with statistical information. (Telli banners must by created and placed on Telli Marin through a local Telli Advertising Consultant.)
· Account Profile
· Notification Settings
· Edit My TelliPage

· Edit My Listing

· Post, Edit or Delete a Coupon
· Viewer Statistics
Track the visits to your listing and clicks on your website link.
· Related Listings
Link your TelliPage to other business listings on Telli (e.g. An attorney with a major law firm can have his or her own listing and link it to the listing for the law firm so he or she shows up on the law firm's TelliPage.)
· TelliPage Links
Place a link your website that sends people to your TelliPage (so you can keep your website up to date through your TelliPage without having to pay web design fees. Also place links on your website to your Telli Events Calendar.)
· Set up your own TelliPage Internet Address: e.g. www.telli.com/name of business
Third, we have learned over the years that potential subscribers need help to promote themselves. Most are not marketing people with experience in advertising. That is why so few small businesses have websites; they just don't know what to say about themselves. Telli Advertising Consultants (Licensees) in the area will help these small businesses overcome their problems and assist them in creating effective advertising campaigns through face to face consultation.
Fourth, the Telli Administrator is not just a design tool. It is a "management tool" that allows licensees to update their Telli Information Centers and modify them to support the uniqueness of each community. In addition, Licensees use the Telli Administrator to establish electronic billing systems, establish accounts with variable billing plans and manage electronic payments. To see the main menu page of the Telli Administrator program, see below or page 17 in the Guinness Telli*Phone Business Plan.

Lawrence Guinness’s Summary
Lawrence A. Guinness, founder of Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation has served as a member of Telli's board of directors since its founding. He has devoted most of his adult life to various ventures in the publishing business.
In 1967, with $300,000 in private funding, Lawrence founded Guinness Publishing Ltd., Toronto, Canada, that published the first full-color educational textbooks for the elementary school curriculum.
In 1969, with $500,000 obtained from a New York venture capital firm, Lawrence founded Guinness Publishing Ltd., New York, to publish educational textbooks for the entire North American marketplace. In addition to producing and marketing its own successful publications, the company authored material, under contract, for American Book Company, a division of Litton Industries. In 1979, he sold his publication rights to finance the development of interactive computer educational programs and networked media software systems.
From 1980 to 1988, using $1,000,000 of his own funds and an additional $5,000,000 raised from various private sources, he founded Guinness Productions, Inc., to develop various computer software programs and authoring systems, and Guinness Computer Television Corporation to develop a computer networking navigational system and search engine to manage the programs and software tools created by Guinness Productions.
The materials, products, and computer software programs developed since 1980 were incorporated and integrated into Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation and development continued with an additional $5 million in capital he raised from private sources. In 1994 Mr. Guinness prepared and filed a Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation became a public company now trading on the OTC under the symbol TELI.

I am thinking about being the moderator on this stock.
Something special about this one.
The Company
Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation, a public company trading under the stock symbol TELI, was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1992 for the purpose of developing Internet software systems to establish the first network of "locally owned and operated" online search directories focused on community business, entertainment and events that provide advertisers with a greater return on their advertising investments.
After years of research and development and thoroughly testing our products, services and marketing strategies, we now plan to exploit the recent enormous growth in local Internet advertising by duplicating our success in Marin County and establishing search engines in communities throughout North America.
Management
Lawrence Guinness, founder and developer of Telli systems, has 40 years experience in managing various successful media ventures. Patrick Guinness, President of Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation, has developed and continues to develop all Telli software systems.
They are supported by a management team consisting of a community newspaper publisher, an award-winning advertising director, a management executive with a background in franchising operations and a CFO experienced in administering the financial operations of small and medium-sized businesses.
The Telli Directory
Telli Directory software is packaged in simple-to-operate systems on Telli servers. Initial business listings and monthly updates are downloaded from software provided to us by the local telephone companies. Movie listings and schedules are provided directly though a data feed. People who operate businesses not listed in the local phone directory can post their own listings in Telli Directories at no charge and update them at any time.
Unlike global search engines that offer only lists of website links, a local Telli Directory provides extensive categories with pertinent details on all businesses and organizations in a community. People have the opportunity to post additional listings, event information and classifieds for free.
The Telli Directory is powered by both a search engine and simple menu-driven search software so people can instantly target everyday products and services in their community without spending time surfing through large amounts of irrelevant global information.
Telli Directories offer local organizations the opportunity to highlight themselves by subscribing to an inexpensive, high-profile, community advertising platform and using simple "do-it-yourself" web design tools to create colorful business ad TelliPages, coupons and instantly updateable advertising programs.
The first Telli Directory, Telli Marin, is accessible at www.telli.com and covers Marin County, CA (Population: 250,000), a suburban area next to San Francisco.
Telli Marin contains 3,600 categories and 22,000 Marin listings with an annual growth rate in users and revenues of 40%. Presently, people view over 10,000 Telli Marin listings every day.
The Marketplace
Local advertising represents a $100 billion "offline" market in the U.S. that includes yellow pages, direct mail, newspapers, local television and radio, all of which is addressable by the Internet.
It has been reported that 80 percent of a retailer’s sales is from customers who reside within 2.5 miles of their locations. The Kelsey Group reports that local search is growing faster than general web search with 43 percent of search engine users seeking a local merchant to buy something offline.
Although just 5.6 percent of sponsored links on the major search engines were bought by local advertisers two years ago, today they're purchasing 36 percent of all such ads.
Internet advertising revenue grew by 35 percent in 2007 to $16.9 billion. Revenue from local Internet search advertising reached $5.7 billion in 2006 and is expected to jump to $22.1 billion in 2011 (The Kelsey Group).
In the United States alone, there are an estimated 23 million small businesses in an endless array of categories. Telli plans to "lock-up" this marketplace through local representation and build a solid customer base through community relationships.
Presently the major search engines like Google scan Telli Marin over 300,000 times every month to acquire new Telli links for their sites, which in turn provides additional Internet exposure for Telli advertisers.
A 2006 Local Search Advertising report from research firm Borrell Associates reported that a local search company established like a large TV network with multiple local affiliates could more readily establish a strong foothold in individual communities than nationwide players.
"Google doesn't have that" commented Borrell. "Local media and search firms that work from a truly local level would relegate everybody else to mere content providers."
Local Directory Operations
Through the Telli Administrative Software, local management and sales teams can manage local Telli Directories focused on their communities from a personal computer connected to the Internet; Guinness provides the technology and automated billing and Telli Licensees and Franchisees provide the marketing and promotional support.
They will establish themselves as local online-marketing and advertising professionals within their communities and build a base of Telli advertisers by assisting clients in preparing TelliPages and search advertising programs.
Marketing Telli Directory Local Advertising & Search
Targeting local marketplaces makes it possible for Telli to build a critical mass of users in each area with minimal effort and expense, and managing many Telli Directories under common guidelines reduces the cost of promoting each directory.
Choosing management with local media and advertising experience provides Telli with sales teams familiar with the territory and design personnel to assist customers in creating and maintaining TelliPages.
Telli Directory Advertising Customers
Existing local advertising and listing services do not offer the simplicity and do-it-yourself opportunity for instant target-marketing and communications provided by Telli.
Most Internet search engines only provide links to websites, and placing advertising on them is expensive and time consuming. Therefore, significant information on the Internet is available only from those organizations that can afford the large investment required to establish and maintain websites and promote them.
Our current and potential customers are businesses providing local retail goods and professional or household services, including local clubs, leagues and associations.
Telli provides a free listing service and inexpensive advertising platform for organizations that have no need to advertise outside their area on the Web and don’t wish to pay the high web-design and advertising fees associated with the global Internet marketplace. However, Telli also offers organizations with websites a directory that increases the number of local visitors to their websites.
Telli Directories offer schools, clubs, groups, and associations a platform their internal staff and parent volunteers can use to keep parents and their members continually informed of changing schedules and last minute events through TelliPages created using their own computers and Telli’s simple web-design tools.
Organizations with websites can also display links to TelliPages on their websites and keep them up-to-date by updating their TelliPages themselves without paying maintenance fees to web designers (See "Daily Updates" at www.cagehockey.com).
The Competition
Search engine giants such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are investing heavily in ways to make it easier for small businesses to appear online by adding more consumer information about nearby businesses to their local services.
By enhancing the local marketplace, these companies hope to build hubs of consumer activity that, in turn, will be magnets for advertisers, including the millions of small businesses at the heart of the $100 billion-plus local advertising market.
Telli Internet Franchising
Telli has contracted Francorp to assist with the development, regulatory filing and marketing of Telli's franchising operations. Francorp's legal department is completing the appropriate documentation and filing applications for franchise registration with the FTC and for those states requiring such registration.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises & Concessions
Our success and ability to compete in the marketplace is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. Principally, we are a publisher of information and therefore rely on trade secret and copyright laws of the United States and other countries to protect our content, authoring systems and programming technology. To distribute our works we lease existing Internet servers from computer hardware developers and manufacturers.
The Telli logo is patented with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and all our software is protected by copyright law. We do not feel that any patents or trademarks, except for the above, that we may hold or may apply for in the future will affect materially our ability to create information or distribute that information to the marketplace.
We feel that the success of our business is dependent on the kind of information we distribute and not on the technology used to distribute it. We believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are more essential to establishing and maintaining a technology-leadership position.
TELLI ONLINE UPDATES OCTOBER 2006
http://www.telli.com/global/listings/B860
Telli Online Marketing Inc.
Lawrence Guinness
Chairman, CEO
Telli is now in the unique position of being able to generate both Search Engine Advertising revenue and Online Advertising revenue.
We have reached a total of over 5,000 pages viewed every day on Telli Marin. In addition, Google now receives over 1,200 page impressions a day through Telli Marin’s click through ads.
We have succeeded in demonstrating how enormously effective a Telli Directory is at generating page views and click throughs within a local area. From Google’s recent purchase of YouTube.com, everyone has learned the value Google puts on acquiring page views to expand their advertising revenues.
When people go to sites like You Tube and My Space, they are interested only in creating their own product so they are not inspired to pay attention to advertising banners.
Telli’s advantage is that when people go to a Telli Directory, they are interested in purchasing a product or service so paid search advertising like Google’s sponsored links and online display advertising like TelliPages are of interest to them as a means of getting their results more quickly.
Now we have a base for proving Telli’s ability to generate Local Search Dollars, we are now ready to prove Telli’s ability to generate significant Local Online Advertising Dollars.
All corporate documentation with Venture-Net has been signed and delivered. This week they will begin working with their financial partners to put together our $5 million in financing.
Initially, the financing will be used to establish Telli Directories for the Brentwood Media Group in Los Angeles, the launch of a promotional campaign to encourage organizations to subscribe to TelliPages in Telli Marin and to establish and promote a new Telli Directory for Sonoma County; the area north of Marin.
In this way we will have three models to demonstrate Telli to potential licensees and franchisees in preparation for a rapid expansion of Telli Directories throughout the United States.
An example of how a local newspaper can generate income with almost no additional overhead by operating a Telli Directory in its community (Los Angeles).
An example of the Internet advertising and search revenues that can be generated through a Telli Directory (Telli Marin).
An example of how quick and inexpensive it is to set up and operate a Telli Directory in a new area.
The next stage will be to establish Telli Directories in the Silicon Valley and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
While Venture-Net has been putting together our financing, we have raised small amounts of capital ourselves because of the new interest in Internet advertising inspired by recent events in the marketplace. Therefore, we have already begun preparations for our expansion program and soon we will be promoting our success throughout the United States.
Now we are committed to building share value for the stockholders of Guinness Telli*Phone Corporation by making people aware of the revenues that can be generated from the numerous Internet search and advertising products the company has developed over the years.

Guinness Telli*Phone (TELI) is a separate corporate entity from Telli*Online Marketing, Inc. However, TELI will be earning additional revenue from Telli Online Marketing, Inc.
Guinness Telli*Phone Corp is now listed on the pink sheets. I'm not surprized by this company failing the way it is. However, the CEO is making efforts using IR firms to promote the stock, which I'm not a part of.
Good luck TELI. (i never bought TELI, but I did like the company.)
Joe
Will they ever file a report and get rid of that ugly "E" on the end of their ticker?
joe
Humble question, Joemoney, you've been posting your "professional" investing advice articles all over this place, yet you don't know how to find out if a ticker changed?!?
Wow. That's investing 101, dood!!!
Here ya go, found out on a site that seems to be extremely obscure to you, given your question -- Yahoo! -- bookmark it!
http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=teli&d=v1
Oh, and guess what? OTCBB's are routinely shorted. Thought I'd tell you one more time, since you haven't absorbed that FACT the last two times I humbly told you.
Cheers,
Svejk
Did Guinness Telli*Phone change their ticker? can anyone confirm this?
joe
Off Topic
Humbly ROFLMAO, August, you know me WAY too well!
Still waiting, though. Probably letting it settle really well, before they bring me that lovely pint I ordered.
Cheers,
Svejk
P.S. Let's talk in private from here on, or elsewhere, don't want to clutter this thread with OT stuff.
Now Josef, what's the real reason you were drawn to this thread?
Wouldn't have anything to do with the word Guinness in it, would it?<G>
Hope you are doing fine!
Jomoney, sorry for the OT post!

Humble question, Joemoney, just found out about this stock -- looked up your profile after our meeting on IH admin (Bob)'s thread, and wonder, when is the company expected to submit the late filing?
Humbly went over to http://www.freeedgar.com to take a peek at the last 10-Q/A (Filing Date: 12/21/2000) and noticed the company was then losing a substantial ammount of money. Cummulative net loss was $18,641,983 if I read the form correctly.
So, when is the company expected to turn a profit?
Not humbly interested in buying this stock, but curious to learn more.
Humble thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Svejk

THE MODERATORS ON THIS BOARD ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL STOCKADVISORS AND DO NOT RECOMMEND WHETHER TO BUY OR SELL THIS OR ANY OTHER SECURITY. ALL INVESTORS ARE ASKED TO DO THEIR OWN DD. AS WITH ANY INVESTMENT, YOU COULD LOOSE ALL OF YOUR MONEY.
But finally a company has come along and has established the protocol for local and regional searches. Now cities, counties and states can establish their on online information center to provide search capabilities for all aspects pertaining to it. Via the franchise venue, Teli is in the process of providing such a venue: If you are familiar with Google, then you should research this pinky. Below are the necessary links that will give you wisdom, insight and understanding to the next big internet craze.
"Telli it" will one day be as popular as saying "Google it". Check out the Beta information site "TELLI MARIN"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY |
THE BUSINESS Guinness Telli*Phone is a developer of "multi-dimensional" Internet search and target advertising systems. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1992 and went public in 1994 (Stock Symbol: TELI). We recently completed the development of a networking system for establishing local information centers containing comprehensive local information on movies, events, products, services, reviews and news as well as providing consumer redemption coupons. Telli Local Information Centers provide small businesses, retailers, groups and associations with affordable "do-it-yourself" target-advertising platforms to highlight themselves in their communities and promote themselves on the Internet. The information centers are managed by local licensees in a manner similar to the way local newspapers and radio and television stations presently operate. Telli "Multi-Dimensional" Search is powered by a combination of keyword search engines, menu search systems and simple variable category click-through filtering systems making it easy for people to instantly target everyday products, services and information in their community through their computers and mobile devices without spending time surfing through large amounts of irrelevant information. (e.g. Try searching Google or any other search engine for seafood restaurants in Marin County that have all the following additional variables: a view, entries under $15, outdoor dining, that are child-friendly, with a full bar and serving fish and chips - only 45 - 60 seconds on Telli Marin.) |
TELLI LOCAL LICENSING The Telli Information Centers reside on our servers and the servers contain secure site management administrative tools (the Telli Administrator Program) that allow people with marketing backgrounds to license, manage and maintain Telli information centers for their communities through their personal computers and provide professional advertising assistance to local advertisers to support their advertising campaigns. Licensees generate income from royalties on advertising revenues generated through Telli's automated advertising subscription payment system. With the success of our first local system, Telli Marin at www.telli.com , we now plan to exploit the recent growth in local Internet advertising by licensing Telli Systems to qualified media people in adjacent communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and then expand throughout California with the goal of building "a network of locally operated community online information centers" across North America. |
TELLI MARIN Our first Telli Information Center, Telli Marin, covering Marin County, CA (Population: 250,000) was established for research, development and testing purposes in 1997. We commenced our first public test of Telli Marin in 1999. In 2001 we began simplifying our software and online advertising tools, developing the Telli Administrator licensing system, establishing a secure, automated online advertising subscription payment system, preparing licensing guidelines, legal agreements and manuals, and creating local advertising materials. Telli Marin contains 3,800 micro categories displaying over 22,000 up-to-date business listings including local events, movies, reviews, coupons and classifieds as well as local information links. Over the last three years Telli Marin experienced an annual growth rate in advertising revenues of over 40% without any advertising, promotion or customer service support. Presently, people look at over 10,000 Telli Marin listings every day on their computers and mobile devices. Also, people view businesses with TelliPages over 20 times more often than they view businesses with websites. |
Major search engines like Google access Telli Marin over 500,000 times every month to copy Telli's up-to-date listings and TelliPages to post as links on their sites; thus providing additional Internet exposure for Telli advertisers. Our research indicates we can increase advertising subscription revenues substantially by offering a personal "fee-based" customer service program conducted by local Telli advertising consultants to assist advertisers with their online promotions and TelliPage designs. |
THE LOCAL ADVERTISING MARKETPLACE It has been reported that 80% of retailers' sales are from customers who reside within 2.5 miles of their locations. The Kelsey Group reports that local search is growing faster than general web search with 86% of Internet users searching for local products and services, up from 70% in 2006, and more than 90% of the transactions resulting from these searches are completed at the advertiser's location. Although just 5.6% of sponsored links on the major search engines were bought by local advertisers two years ago, today they're purchasing over 36% of all such ads. Internet advertising revenue grew by 35% in 2007 to $16.9 billion. Revenue from local advertising reached $8 billion in 2007 and jumped to over $12 billion in 2008 (Borrell Associates). Borrell reports that, "The nation's 14.6 million small businesses were responsible for more than $6.7 billion in locally generated, locally targeted interactive advertising in 2008 - more than half of the U.S. total. (Click on www.Telli.com/Internet) A report from research firm Borrell Associates reported that a local search companyestablished like a large TV network with multiple local affiliates could more readily establish a strong foothold in individual communities than nationwide players. "Google doesn't have that," commented Borrell. "Local media and search firms that work from a truly local level would relegate everybody else to mere content providers." "Most sites don't participate in the community they enable," reports Marchex in its 2008 Local Online Advertising Report. "Local sites need to understand their customers' needs. Participation is what makes the most popular portals successful." |
LOCAL TELLI SYSTEM OPERATIONS Telli Local Information Information Centers are stored on Guinness Telli*Phone servers and each local site is operated by a qualified local management and sales team licensed to customize, manage and continually update each Telli Site focused on their community through the Telli Administrator; Guinness manages the Internet technology and electronic payment system and local managers provide the marketing and advertising support. The Telli Administrator is not a design tool. It is a "management tool" that allows licensees to update their Telli Information Centers and modify them to support the uniqueness of each of their communities. In addition, licensees use the Telli Administrator to establish electronic billing systems, establish accounts with variable billing plans and manage electronic payments. Also, Telli managers establish themselves as local online-marketing and advertising professionals within their communities and receive royalties based on advertising subscription revenues as well as royalties based on design and maintenance fees charged for preparing TelliPages and search engine advertising programs. |
LOCAL TELLI INFORMATION SYSTEMS Unlike global search engines that are usually not up to date and offer only lists of website links, a local Telli Information Center displays pertinent up-to-date details on almost every business and organization in the community in addition to providing people with current information on local events, movies, classifieds, coupons and reviews. First, initial listings and monthly telephone connects and disconnects are downloaded from a data base of telephone listings provided to us by the local telephone companies. Movie listings and schedules are provided directly though a national data feed and people in the community can post event information, reviews and classified ads for free. Therefore, as soon as a Telli Information Center goes online it is useful to people in the community immediately. Next, using our simple software tools, businesses not listed in the phone directory or that operate with cell phones can post their listings in a Telli Information Center and all businesses can update their listings and categories at any time and at no charge. Then, local organizations can highlight themselves above their competitors and increase their customer views substantially by subscribing to Telli's inexpensive, high-profile promotional platform and create colorful TelliPages to provide current "summaries" on their products and services using Telli's simple "do-it-yourself" web design tools. The Telli subscriber development tools are more than just design tools and are available through the Telli website, making Telli a do-it-yourself "Advertising Plantform" and not just a website creation tool. Below is a list of the Subscriber Advertising Planform tools that subscribers access through their subscriber advertising platform menu page.
However, we have found that the majority of local advertisers need assistance in preparing online promotions. (a) The don't know what to say about themselves, or how to say it, and (b) Most of them are challenged by computer technology. Consequently, small business are not comfortable creating their own information for display on the Internet.
For further information on Telli's expansion plans, see our Plan of Operation atwww.telli.com/growth. |
Subscribers pay Telli local managers various fees to design and maintain TelliPages on their behalf. We have found that over 70% of local businesses request professional advertising and design assistance. |

LOCAL TELLI ADVERTISING CUSTOMERS Existing local advertising and listing services do not offer the simplicity and do-it-yourself opportunity for instant target-marketing and communications provided by Telli. Most Internet search engines only provide links to websites, and placing advertising on them is expensive and time consuming. Therefore, significant information on the Internet is available only from those who can afford the large investment required to establish, maintain and promote websites. Our current and potential customers are businesses providing local retail goods and professional or household services, including local clubs, leagues and associations. Telli Systems offer organizations a simple platform for their internal staff to keep people continually informed of new products and services, changing schedules and last minute events through TelliPages created using their own computers and Telli’s simple design tools. Organizations with websites can place TelliPage links on their websites to keep their sites up-to-date by updating their TelliPages themselves. Focusing on local marketplaces makes it possible for Telli to build a critical mass of users in each area with minimal effort and operating Telli Systems under common guidelines makes them inexpensive to manage and promote. |
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS Telli has contracted Francorp, (www.francorp.com), to assist with the development, regulatory filing and marketing of a Telli franchising operation as a future potential alternative to establishing Telli Local Sites in areas throughout North America. Francorp's legal department is completing the appropriate documentation and filing applications for franchise registration with the FTC and for those states requiring such registration. |
