Anybody know if Convergys is still with teleblock? I noticed that AOL had sold it's call centers. One to Aegis/Essar and the other to Convergys.
Someone please let AUTO sell his piddly shares at 45 so we can move the heck outta the garage!
WoooooooHooooooooooooo!
Sorry guys, just wanted to get practiced up some!
Here's another little tidbit about Verizon Business from Jan where they received their licenses from India.
http://newscenter.verizon.com/press-releases/verizon/2008/verizon-business-india.html
"BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and MUMBAI, India - Verizon Business India, a joint venture between Verizon Business and Mumbai-based Videocon Group, has received licenses for international and national long-distance services. The licenses, issued by India's Department of Telecommunications, enhance Verizon Business' delivery of advanced telecommunications services to multinational companies with operations in India, as well as to India-based multinationals.
Verizon Business India will offer a full range of services, including international private-leased circuits with multi protocol label switching (MPLS) and Internet protocol (IP) services. These services will complement Verizon Business' existing Indian operations.
Verizon Business already holds an Internet service provider license in India and has various local ISP facilities. The joint venture plans to deploy new nodes in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi to support Verizon Business' MPLS, Global Data Link and Ethernet Virtual Private Line solutions.
Blair Crump, group president international & premier accounts, Verizon Business, commented: "India is a key investment location for many of our multinational customers, and these licenses enable us to further enhance our local capabilities to support their strategic business needs. Verizon Business is focused on providing the highest levels of services and capabilities to our customers around the world. We look forward to bringing our expertise to bear in India as we expand our existing presence to provide direct, high-quality, advanced communications services and support to our locally based customer operations."
Yes indeed, Verizon Business is listed on COPI website. And Intelenet is one of the largest India BPOs with 25,000 employees at 24 global locations.
If they have selected Verizon Business for one thing, I would imagine Verizon is in the process of upselling them other things as well. Verizon's ability to offer the entire package may very well have been what prompted Intelenet to make the Verizon choice in the first place.
Intelenet chooses Verizon Business.
"MUMBAI, India, Mar 26, 2008 (PR Newswire Europe via COMTEX) -- New Portal Enhances Service for Global Business Process Outsourcing Provider
Intelenet Global Services, a leading provider of business process outsourcing services, has selected Verizon Business to develop, host and manage a secure portal for the exchange of information with clients, partners and vendors. The objective is to enhance the company's collaborative capabilities and improve business transaction efficiency.
Intelenet provides contact-center, finance, accounting and transaction processing services to Fortune 500 companies in the financial services, retail, insurance, telecom, manufacturing, travel and hospitality industries. The India-based company employs more than 25,000 people at 24 locations globally."

Cmon guys, stop giving extra a forum to spew stupid stuff. Ya know he doesn't have a clue, so just ignore him! Stop responding to the vague, general stuff he writes and he'll just fade on away. Take pity on him, he doesn't know the facts.
LOL, extra. Like I said, short interest will be out on March 27th.

Luv ya bud, guys like you make it all the more sweet!
Canada September 2008 launch of DNC
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/t1026.htm
335 boardmarks here.
It is quiet but not for long.
Ain't skeered one bit, despite what some may post.
Short interest is due out March 27 (why there would be any here at all I cannot fathom).
First ever 10k due any day.
No fluff PRs by COPI.
Only solid earnings and growth.
6 million market cap.
We shall see who rules the roost in a few days!
I might add, that is a relatively new ppt as well. Took me a while to find it, but in the appendix I found:
"Vodafone’s One Vodafone programme: Fundamental change away from independent local activity. 3 years into a 7-8 year Global Integration Programme and "One Vodafone" is the next phase of this programme. One Vodafone aims to give sustainable competitive advantages through Time to market, Strategic cost position, Vodafone customer experience, Growth for people (Boosting Vodafone’s annual operating free cash flow by £2.5bn by the end of March 2008)"
Some other very nice stuff in the appendix as well.
BEST post of the weekend fivestar. jNETx and it's applications are definitely a topic of more DD with regards to teleblock. Thanks for the link.
Look at the other partners with jNETx.

Ought to be some sort of enforcement against diluting more than 10 percent in a week or something. Dilution moves wealth from one person to the other more than NSS ever could I think. The HCFE chart is just a damn shame because of it.
There has to be some sort of a solution to stop this other than just not buying any stock that Cornell/YA or other toxic puppeteers run.
Well, ya know elfie, oil might drop to $20 on Monday too but I wouldn't count on it. GLTY.
Very nice post BBD. Congrats.
Also if you look at extra's posts they are all written in word or notepad then copied and pasted. That's because he uses the same old lines of bs in every one of his posts then changes a few words here and there or the name of the company. Very transparent.
I think you're all worked up over nuthin.
Look at some of the other companies who are rubbing elbows with Sansay at the VON.x conference which is ending today.
http://www.von.com/2008/sanJose/web/expoCompanies.php
Sansay is also a LVLT partner.
Pretty quiet over there at the Yahoo COPI board. I think they are licking their wounds. I did have to stop by and taunt them however.
It's coming, already more than half of yesterday's volume in the first 30 minutes. You'll have some flippers getting out after getting lucky yesterday, then we'll see some more PRs I think in the next few days.
and what we see here is a little short covering I think.
Wow, they're alive at Glen Cove! Impressive!
give him a peoplemark. luv hasn't had one in over 2 years, maybe that will cheer him up some.
Even $50k on the bid takes this up past .06. Personally, I don't care if they buy now or later, I'll take the same money. Ask Ameritrade.
vCustomer
"Big centers like vCustomer, Wipro, TCS, HCL, Spanco, are also chalking out plans to expand base in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. With multi-million dollar deals in their kitty, every player is looking to ramp up operations to cope with the rising demand while ensuring competitive edge. As a matter of figures, vCustomer earned nearly 80 crores from the domestic market thanks to clients such as Airtel, Idea and SBI. This figure accounts for nearly 4.5% of their revenues."
Last I saw on 4-20-07 vCustomer was a teleblock suscriber.
Where does this go from here?
Drishti-Soft Blog
Pretty cool...
"IDC claims that the ITeS market in India was worth a mammoth Rs. 6650 crores (About USD 1700 Million) in 2006 and will cross the 12000 crores milestone (About USD 4000 million) by 2007. It also predicts that the IT/ITeS sector will register a growth of about 19.7% while the export revenue growth will be about 17.4% during the same time. This difference could be attributed to the growth in the domestic segment in the country. Big centers like vCustomer, Wipro, TCS, HCL, Spanco, are also chalking out plans to expand base in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. With multi-million dollar deals in their kitty, every player is looking to ramp up operations to cope with the rising demand while ensuring competitive edge. As a matter of figures, vCustomer earned nearly 80 crores from the domestic market thanks to clients such as Airtel, Idea and SBI. This figure accounts for nearly 4.5% of their revenues.
Spanco is also waking up to the need of catering to domestic market. It has announced two centers, in Gurgaon and Mumbai to provide services to domestic clients. Similarly, Sparsh is also planning aggressively to attack this market.
Drishti is also now planning to have specific products that will provide unbeatable price-performance proposition to the domestic call centers that are looking at cost effective solutions which are easy to manage, operate and own. With some new cutting-edge offerings in the offing, Drishti intends to be a leader in this segment. After extensive homework, Drishti’s BI group has gathered key requirements of the BPOs catering to the domestic market, and the new offering will be incorporating the solutions that address the pain points of domestic call centers - especially increasing profitability. Watch out this space for more updates…"

There may be more short now which will just make the ride all the more fun. If you look at the chart it sucks. If you read between the lines, it's all good.
Out of 120 million shares are you telling me they can't shake loose more than a couple hundred thousand with a 10 percent drop? Puhlllllllleeeeeeze! I'm no fool.
Oh yes there were actually 434,150 as of Feb 29th. The factor I refer to is that while we were down 10 percent today, it was on pathetic volume. .043 caused no capitulation because we all know what we own!
.01 is insignificant when you are pondering double digits, possibly above .50 in time.
There are a few shorts here who do not know what we own!
The pathetic valuation of COPI here is because we are all stubborn. There will be a few flippers once the 10K is out, but the real valuation will begin to occur weeks after the 10K hits and it will amaze almost everyone here.
The state of COPI.
Nonononono Cargo.
COPI is not in that category!
However, there are 99 out there for every COPI you find! I was just saying that I've "heard" it can be done.
TRAI ready for lawsuit.

What better reason for a different COPI model in India where the carrier burdens the cost of DNC compliance?
COPI has had no infractions ever!
So would a carrier scrub the lists in-house or charge an added fee to ensure that sub-routing complies with TRAI standards? Would they add a low-cost solution and pass that cost onto the telemarketer or risk being fined for a telemarketers infraction?
Sorry about all the posts here guys/gals, but just got in and catching up to the conversations here today.
Yes, the dust has not settled yet, but that is one of the reasons COPI has a market cap of less than 6 million. Wait until the dust settles and who knows what the market cap will be. I venture that the upside has a lot more potential than the downside.
Actually you will find that Drishti-Soft is exhibiting at the 16th annual Convergence India which started today so I would say that someone in India is using teleblock right now. Can't say to what extent though.
I don't see COPI coming out and dealing directly with the Indian market, they do it with distributors and other software solution innovators which is good for SG&A. That's really the nice thing about it, they have the database solution, how it's packaged and accessed is up to the distributors and partners.
BTW, it's Garfinkel. :)

You know Cargo I'm not sure I agree with that theory. For example, back when I was daytrading a few years ago I used to subscribe to a very well-run daytrading instant-chat setup that was pretty pricey. As a side note, there was an offshore broker offered through the service who supposedly could short any stock, even those already on the NSS list and penny stocks as well.
I have forgotten what the name of that broker was and even the daytrading website, and from time to time I wonder if it would not be profitable to find the service again just to open an account with that broker as there are many, many, many gobs of penny stocks out there that you just know are POSs and are diluting the crap outta the OS all the way to the AS.
Actually, I view it as quite different. I see the problems that they have encountered in India thus far as a magnificent opportunity for COPI and Verisign as I'm sure Dean does as well. At some point the wheel is not profitable to reinvent.
Any possible future revenues from India would just be a little icing on the cake and maybe turn the 6 billion calls into maybe 8 million or 10 million at some point.
Funny thing happened today. I called Office Depot to return a printer for the company I work for and I spoke to Marvin, an Indian, and it made me think of COPI.
So I would say that .0023 is a fairly conservative and realistic average for 6 billion or more calls.
BAH HUMBUG! I say on the pesky few shares traded today. Means nothing and I AIN'T SKEERED!
