ERFW NEWS: ERF Wireless Launches Wireless Broadband Network to Service Over 100 Cities, Towns, and Communities in Central Texas
Monday June 19, 2:10 pm ET
Wireless Broadband Footprint Covers More Than 2,000 Square Miles
LEAGUE CITY, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2006--ERF Wireless (OTCBB:ERFW - News), a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless broadband products and services, announced today that the company has completed the construction of the majority of its Central Texas wireless broadband network in the area between Houston and Austin and will immediately begin offering wireless ISP and other wireless services across a more than 2,000 square mile coverage area. This area includes more than 100 cities, towns and communities, the majority of which have previously had no broadband services whatsoever. The wireless broadband services being offered in this new service area include commercial and residential wireless broadband Internet connectivity, Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone service and wireless broadband data services. The services will be provided from a number of strategically located wireless towers recently purchased by ERF Wireless, as well as from tower locations included in the regional bank networks constructed by ERF Wireless over the past few years.

R. Greg Smith, CEO of ERF Wireless, commented, "The company is now in a position to begin realizing revenues from a variety of services being offered in our Central Texas Network. In addition to the revenues already being generated from our Wireless Messaging Services Division and our Enterprise Network Services subsidiary, a central part of our revenue strategy has always been the generation of significant recurring revenues from a wireless broadband footprint which overlays our regional banking business network construction. And, in many cases, we can be provide wireless broadband services without significant capital expenditure to ERF Wireless by simply leveraging the service off of our existing banking networks through a revenue sharing arrangement with the banks. Many of the banks see this as a perfect way to recapture some of the cost of their network while at the same time strengthening their relationships with their banking customers."
Smith went on to note that in those areas where the company is already servicing bank networks and the bank network is not currently available, ERF Wireless can easily build or buy wireless broadband capability and still take advantage of dual usage of our local personnel. "Our prime objective is to generate both one-time and recurring revenue for ERF Wireless every time we deploy any of our personnel in the field. The overlaying of wireless broadband services on our banking network territory is a good example of this principle."
"This new Central Texas network is a significant addition to the growing wireless network footprint of ERF Wireless," said Jesus Jimenez, CEO of the company's Wireless Bundled Services Division. "Our new area of coverage provides ERF Wireless a very large underserved or unserved marketing territory that we expect will respond very positively to the advantages associated with commercial and residential wireless broadband Internet services. We're looking forward to expanding the ERF Wireless recurring revenue base in this new territory, as well as in our other networks in Texas and other states."

Morning Creede and the rest of our fine feathered friends
SALUDA, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/09/06 -- XcelPlus International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: XLPI) recently announced that it had secured exclusive world-wide production and distribution rights for Diesenol(TM) an ethanol-based substitute for traditional diesel and BioDiesel fuel, and FlexTek bi-fuel converter for gasoline powered vehicles. Due to some confusion, XcelPlus would like to clarify some points about Diesenol, which is a renewable and environmentally friendly replacement for Diesel and BioDiesel fuels.

Diesenol is NOT the E95 fuel tested in the United States in the early 1990's. E95 is a blend of 95 percent ethanol and 5 percent gasoline and was shown to have many problems. E95 required special equipment for cold starting, as well as higher compression for combustion. Test drivers in Hennepin County Minnesota reported decreased power and reliability problems including fuel injector clogging when using the ethanol/gasoline blend.
Diesenol is NOT a blend of diesel fuel and gasoline. Diesenol is a blend of ethanol and a specially engineered proprietary chemical. The chemical additive was designed specifically to provide combustion and to maintain the integrity of the injector system. Diesenol has better cold start characteristics than conventional diesel fuel and does not require any special equipment or fittings. Diesenol is designed to combust at the same compression as ordinary diesel fuel. Field tests of Diesenol showed none of the problems associated with "E95": Trucks running on Diesenol had more power, better torque curves and no injector failures. The test vehicles were city buses and trailer trucks, each of which logged over 400,000 Kilometers of use with Diesenol fuel.
According to Mr. Bill R. Smith, President of XcelPlus, "While petrol based fuel prices have been steadily increasing, ethanol production technology has been rapidly moving forward. This new fuel economy promises to make Diesenol an economically viable replacement for both Diesel and BioDiesel. In addition to consumer sales, we are currently advancing our marketing plan to offer complete Ethanol solutions to cities and private fleets which will include: Local cellulosic ethanol production to turn waste into inexpensive ethanol; Diesenol fuel packages which will use the cellulosic ethanol to power vehicles, clean emissions and extend engine life; chemical engine treatments to raise fuel economy; and FlexTek technology to convert existing gasoline powered vehicles to run on ethanol."
XcelPlus Global Holdings Inc. now wholly owns both the proprietary formulation for Diesenol production as well as full and complete rights to FlexTek technology.

XLPI news. How about 1 Mil in revs from Brazil alone. :)
XcelPlus International Focuses on Renewable Energy
SALUDA, VA, Jun 07, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- During a recent trip to
Brazil, President Bill R. Smith of XcelPlus International Inc. (PINKSHEETS:
XLPI) secured world-wide rights for two important technologies: FlexTek(TM)
flex-fuel conversion technology, and Diesenol(TM) ethanol based fuel substitute
for Diesel and BioDiesel fuels.
FlexTek is a system which converts most modern gasoline powered vehicles into
flexible-fuel vehicles capable of running on gasoline, E85 ethanol or any blend
of the 2 fuels. FlexTek Technology has been successfully utilized in Brazil for
many years and is compatible with most modern 4, 6, and 8 cylinder cars.
XcelPlus is the only company to offer a proven system to convert a vehicle, and
completely protect the engine from the possible harmful effects of ethanol.
After signing a contract with AGE Technologies, the Brazilian based company that
owned the rights to FlexTek technology, Mr. Bill R. Smith, President of XcelPlus
stated: "XcelPlus now controls all rights to manufacture and market the FlexTek,
and we have also absorbed the marketing infrastructure of AGE Technologies. AGE
had over one million dollars in revenue from FlexTek sales in Brazil last year.
By adding our line of chemicals to the Brazilian market we expect much higher
future revenues. In addition to increasing profitability, our ownership of all
issued and pending patents enables us to aggressively go after those infringing
on our technology."
XcelPlus' other acquisition, Diesenol, is a 95% ethanol substitute for BioDiesel
and conventional diesel fuels. Unlike BioDiesel, Diesenol has better cold-start
characteristics than regular diesel fuels, and does not require any additional
equipment to be installed on factory diesel engines. Diesenol has been found to
outperform both ordinary diesel and BioDiesel fuels, providing greater
horsepower, flatter torque curves, cleaner exhaust emissions, and extended
engine life. Tested vehicles drove 400,000 kilometers each with no injector
system failures.
XcelPlus is currently designing marketing strategies to enter world-wide diesel
fuel markets. The United States alone consumes over 30 billion gallons of diesel
fuel annually
Labwire April Revenue Up 18 Percent

XcelPlus International Secures Rights to Ethanol-Based Substitute for Conventional Diesel and BioDiesel Fuel
Jun 5, 2006 11:21:00 AM
SALUDA, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/05/06 -- XcelPlus International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: XLPI) is pleased to announce that it has secured worldwide production and distribution rights to Diesenol(TM), an ethanol-based substitute for traditional diesel and BioDiesel fuel.
After a series of negotiations with Smartek Tecnologia Electronica LTDA, a Brazilian company which controlled the rights to the ethanol-based substitute for Diesel and Biodiesel fuels, Mr. Bill R Smith, President of XcelPlus International Inc., announced that XcelPlus had successfully secured worldwide rights for manufacture and distribution of the fuel. The technology, now owned by XcelPlus Global Holdings Inc., will be licensed to XcelPlus International for production and worldwide distribution.
Diesenol BioDiesel substitute was developed by a group of fuel chemists and engineers to allow diesel engines to run on 95% ethanol. Through extensive testing Diesenol was found to outperform ordinary diesel as well as BioDiesel, which is either a mixture of Diesel fuel and 15% ethanol, or a mixture of Diesel Fuel and vegetable oil. Test results showed that Diesenol improves torque and power, significantly reduces emissions, increases oil change intervals, reduces deposits inside the engine, and prolongs engine life. It flows better in cold temperatures than diesel or BioDiesel, improving cold start performance.
"The worldwide market for Diesenol is enormous," stated Mr. Smith in a post contract-signing interview. "The U.S. alone consumes over 30 billion gallons of diesel type fuels for transportation each year. We are very excited at the prospect of entering the fuel market with a product that outperforms conventional fuels, reduces dependence on foreign oil, and lowers emissions. We are currently negotiating for rights to other ethanol technologies, which we will announce shortly. We believe that our strategic marketing plans for these technologies will make XcelPlus a major force in the newly emerging clean energy markets."

Weekly Thoughts: Learn How to Play the Game: Invest Wisely and Trade Smartly
The savvy long-term investors never chase stocks up. For the most part that is momentum players and daytraders where most of it or what follows is dumb money. Instead the long-term investors use a couple of simple strategies in order to position themselves. One is to find a stock no one immediately sees
has huge potential and accumulate. Long-term investors are not interested in trading against the public mind or the dumb money. That's where the majority of the money can be made but even more can be made if the base of a stock is held extremely strong by investors. However the second is not to doubt the
research which is the underlying basis for going long and holding.
More and more investors are winning the game nowadays despite all bashers that float through the Internet that has become part of the game. Floor traders of market makers often watch CNBC, news wires and bulletin boards in order to follow the market during trading session. OTC BB market makers (MMs) don't use
fundamental and technical analysis. However, what they do realize is a lot of dumb money does use this newest nitch charting or TA (Technical Analysis) to run a stock either up or down. To the MMs this is like taking candy from a baby. Simply they will paint the tape and use whatever tactic to affect the
charting bands. Thus the public and dumb money they will have eating out of their hands. Effectively the MMs can show a strong stock growing weak by manipulating the close price in order to generate selling volume, delaying trading time to manipulate trading activities, or even stalling the ask without honoring orders to hold a stock price.
MMs follow a simple code of business when making a market in a stock especially an OTC BB. That is the level that stocks will seek that yields the most volume. Now this is very important because they make money on the volume buying at the bid and selling at the ask. In other words, by making the market they are buying low and selling high. Now smart money adheres to that rule, so do all the market makers. They could careless whether the stock is at $83 or at $0.23. All they care about is the action thus being able to sell stock at the offer (The high) and buy stock at the bid (The low). To increase their profitability, they make the spread as great as possible on as many shares as
they can especially if the volume falls off.
When they have mostly all "buy" orders, that's not the price that's going to yield the most volume. They need both buy and sells to get the maximum action. Remember, MMs play the volume. If the volume decreases and there are mostly Buys that become a one way volume, Buy volume. So what they do is let the stock run up to a price where it runs out of steam. They fill all the buy
orders there that they can and then comes the pullback one way or another naturally or induced. During the pull back they can buy tons of shares and flip them to those averaging down or trying to catch the bounce. At some price, the stock will be relatively stable and yield the most volume. Now that is the average price you will see
The average price is the point where a stock seeks a level where MMs can profit on the most volume. So during the day that is the price that MMs and momentum/day traders want to see the stock at. Why? Because they know the public and dumb money was chasing the price thing up. Most of the time, the MMs love a flurry of Market Orders which is a dead sign of an artificial run
or momentum. Merely it is money in the bank for them. Most get hung in a momentum or day trade or by the tactics of Market makers, who are in the business to screw the public every chance they get and the NASD is not going to do anything about it. They are merely making the market liquid is there reasoning.
The market makers have created an added complication to the OTCBB's chaos of the already volatile intra-day price movements created by dumb money, momentum and day-traders. MMs can not relate to long-term holders in the OTC BB. That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. They feel a large percentage of trades
in the OTC BB market consist of short-term or day-trades, MMs merely view the barrage of buy and sell orders as relatively neutral to the market. How they figure it is when the average dumb money buys shares in a company, the MMs feel or rather know with some certainty it is very likely that dumb money will want to sell back those shares relatively quick on the slightest drop.
Now somewhat comfortable with this logic the MMs merely short sells into the buying and attempts to take the stock down in an effort to "shake out" the weak. Since it is tough to know for sure whether a move is the beginning of a trend, or a routine shake out, this type of deception works quite well for the
MMs. What the long-termers do to a stock is surprise the MMs because instead of falling the shorting has no effect and the price goes up. Now that puts the MM at selling low through shorting and thus having to buy high in order to cover.
Boy, when this happens, the MMs are not very happy campers. The investors and traders are supposed to be doing that no them. Now it becomes time to pull out every trick and tactic in the book in order to attempt to get a Bear Raid at every dollar mark or percent from where the stock started. Could be a penny in
smaller priced securities? What MMs do is give you a chance to make a small amount of money for your momentum and day trading style by shorting it at these levels and trying to get a bear raid each time. Each failure is compounding the MMs short position so they let it go to the next level. Now
come more deliberate tactics MMs use to coerce Bear Raid or panic selling.
Once the MM is caught short and the strength of the buy is overpowering the MM will want to cover his short position. So the MMs call up one of his friendly MMs and says some like "the weather is sure rough today." The MM along with the other "friendly MM initiates a down tick about the same time. Now this can also be done with a certain amount of shares such as an infamous 100 shares flag. This down tick gives the illusion of weakness designed to hopefully begin the bear raid of selling. The fickle, fearful, day trader, momentum and
short term begin to sell out allowing the MM to cover his short position at lower prices. They will move it down quickly to get it to a price of leastfinancial damage. Problem they have is long-term investors in the OTC BB. They start accumulating and buying comes flying in when they take it too far thus the MMs took it to the point of volume again and not only investors the other MMs step in the make money on the spread.
Alas the poor MM does not get to cover. Now comes various tactics like stalling, boxing, or even locking the Bid and Ask for a while. Of course, MMs aggressively deny any sort of collusion designed to fix quotes or spreads, but a recent SEC investigation tells another story.
MMs have a vast resource of tactics and it would take probably more than my lifetime to figure them all out.
So how do investors somehow manage to overcome the obvious deception in OTCBB arena? One answer is indirection trading style by going long which the MMs do not expect. In the war between investors and public companies on the OTC BB vs
the MMs, if the MMs have all the advantages due to position or other factors,direct confrontation such as momentum or day trading hitting the stock is a definite death sentence.
However, an indirect approach tends to weaken the path of least resistance before slowly overcoming it. The most effective way is long-term investors slowly accumulating and holding thus drawing the MMs out of its defenses making them as naked as their short position. This is war so this slow accumulation and holding for the long term easily achieves the desired effect
to force MMs to cover and knock off the tactics or bury themselves deeper.
The MMs when caught will especially use every trick and tactic in the book to get a Bear Raid thus playing on the individual fear of most people. The MMs feel they have information and position advantages over the investors as long as the holding of the stock is in weak hands or short term holders. Since they
are OTC BB MMs who believe all OTCBB companies are not worth investing and management is ineffective regardless what is happening within the company. Furthermore, MMs know they are in the position to impose a great deal of influence in OTC BB stocks trading when it suits their needs.
This inherent power of position enables the MMs to move the markets at any time up or down. As a result, the only way to draw them out of their favorable position is going long. Now this does not mean just any company but to effectively nail the MMs, Longs must find the great company on the floor and acumulate long before the MM tactics and games begin.
If any of you have some time and are interested on seeing a fantastic video on Ethanol(E85) by Vinod Khosla.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-570288889128950913&q=ethanol&pl=true
Vinod Khosla, a Silicon Valley billionaire, who wants to save the world from oil
Landov“I HAVE a religious belief in the power of ideas propelled by entrepreneurial energy,” declares Vinod Khosla. Coming from some businessmen such talk might sound self-serving or plain nutty. But Mr Khosla helped to found Sun Microsystems, a company that pioneered such essential bits of internet technology as network servers and Java, a programming language. He then made his name and his fortune as a partner at Kleiner Perkins, a Silicon Valley venture-capital firm famous for its early investments in AOL, Amazon, Compaq and Google.
His eyes have now turned towards a new target—the oil industry. He and Stephen Bing, a flamboyant Hollywood producer, are financing a campaign to get Californians to endorse clean energy in a state-wide vote next November. “Californians for Clean Energy” will need to get more than 500,000 signatures just to make it onto the ballot. If it were then passed, its effect would be to increase taxes on Californian oil production by up to $380m a year, eventually raising billions of dollars for investments in clean energy. The plan is to help California cut its oil use by one-quarter within a decade, thereby setting a powerful example for the rest of the world.
Mr Khosla is particularly enthused by “cellulosic” ethanol, a highly efficient way of making fuel from agricultural waste. President Bush touted this new technology in his recent state-of-the-union speech, suggesting that it may come to market in six years. In typically impatient form, Mr Khosla wants to halve that gestation period. Anyone who spends time with him is liable to be hit with his well-researched but mind-numbing PowerPoint presentation on ethanol—unveiled with the affection that some men reserve for pictures of their grandchildren.
Why is Mr Khosla taking on this particular crusade, when he could concentrate on the technology investments that have served him so well—or even opt for a gilded retirement? Like many very rich men, he now wants to improve the world: “Just starting another Sun doesn't do it for me any more.” As an engineer turned venture capitalist, Mr Khosla has a healthy respect for the power of new technologies to create disruptive innovations. And the free marketeer in him clearly relishes the prospect of really taking on the big, rich and well-entrenched firms that dominate the oil industry.
Another part of the explanation lies in his complex relationship with India. Like several of Silicon Valley's most successful people, Mr Khosla boasts a degree from the Indian Institute of Technology. When he tried to start a project to help the mother country, he was initially frustrated by its bureaucracy and corruption. His first attempt to start a traditional top-down charity failed, so he now funds only charities embracing micro-enterprise approaches. A lesson he learned from India, he says, is that one has to think big: “Unless you influence the lives of at least a million people, it simply doesn't matter.”
His plan is to use technology and entrepreneurship to tackle big social and environmental problems: “In venture capital, we fail far more often than we succeed,” he says. “I've decided that I'd better focus on taking on problems that really matter, so that when I win it makes a difference to the world.” He likens his need to get involved with worthy causes to a drug addiction.
It is easy to dismiss this enthusiasm as the irrelevant obsession of a rich hobbyist or the harmless utopianism of a capitalist who has made his pile. But the big oil companies are certainly not taking Mr Khosla lightly. The oil industry is funding a lavish counter-campaign to his ballot initiative called “Californians Against Higher Taxes”. Perhaps the best reason to take Mr Khosla seriously is that his professional success and Republican leanings mean that he has the ears of powerful people. He has been making the rounds, from the White House and Capitol Hill to the World Economic Forum at Davos and the TED conference (a big annual gathering for top venture capitalists), banging the drum for ethanol. Before Larry Page, Google's co-founder, attended a recent TED conference in Monterey, California, he was sceptical about ethanol. After hearing Mr Khosla, he decided to help fund the cause. “When have you ever seen greens, farmers and guys like me and Larry on the same page?” demands Mr Khosla.
The power of price
So will his grand plan really work? Mr Khosla is convinced that “this fuel is greener, cheaper, more secure than gasoline—and this shift won't cost the consumer, automakers or the government anything.” There are undoubted attractions to ethanol. But making the switch will surely not be as easy or cheap as he suggests. Retail distribution is one obvious problem: fewer than a thousand petrol stations in America sell the most desirable blend of ethanol fuel today. Expanding infrastructure will cost money and take time, and the oil industry is not exactly enthusiastic. And cellulosic technology, which seems so promising today, may take much longer than expected to achieve commercial scale, or might fail altogether.
What is more, the OPEC cartel is suspected by some of engineering occasional price collapses to bankrupt investment in alternative energy. Mr Khosla concedes that after he made his ethanol pitch at this year's Davos meeting, a senior Saudi oil official sweetly reminded him that it costs less than a dollar to lift a barrel of Saudi oil out of the ground, adding: “If biofuels start to take off we will drop the price of oil.”
Anticipating this problem, Mr Khosla is lobbying politicians in Washington, DC, to impose a tax on crude oil if the price falls below $40 a barrel to safeguard investments in ethanol. Even if—surprise, surprise—Congress refuses to raise taxes, Mr Khosla insists that alternative energy must ultimately prosper. Given his record as a venture capitalist, it would be foolish to dismiss his latest bet on the future
Top of the morning to ya!
fly,
no prob. You get a lot of latitude around here, because you are a regular. We know you are a TFer...we even visited you in sing-sing! An occasional O/T never hurt anything, but really, get someone to guru them on the Draft Picks, and then post away. I see that you really get around. When you find a TF prospect that you like, ask the guru to fill out the app.
OK. Sorry.eom
fly,
you gotta go by the rules. That post doesn't go here, unless they are on the TF2 Hard List.....which to do that, they gotta be on the TF2 Draft Picks first....get em' on the list, and then post away. This is the house of the TF...not CMBV, or EQBM, or any other MoMo.
