I hope you didnt need the money you invested into a super sub pinkie. That said, did you call the CEO before you got in.
Just curious.
Makes sense to me. The average time for the patent approval process is 18-24 months. That would put the first patent (date of application 10/04) due anywhere from July to December '06.

'lac, you are like the prodigal son, welcome back, bud! We didn't mean anything by the brokeback references.
In other words don't act like a broke, desperate, bitter, dissapointed crybaby like some of the people who bought the stock and expected to get rich overnight. KNOW WHAT YOU OWN--the business plan, the market size and potential revenue streams--KNOW WHAT YOU OWN.
I agree with you, I think it could speed the process up, though. MMA attracts the 18-34 male demographic and advertisers will line up to advertise.
What do you suggest?
Great news! I will check it out tonight and let you know how quick it can be set up.
FYI, I emailed the editor of Real Fighter magazine (brand new MMA monthly mag) and he said they may be putting a blurb about TFN in a future issue.
Check them out:

Real Fighter
The Magazine for Real MMA Fans
Real Fighter is the magazine for real fans of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), the sport featured in the red-hot phenomenon The Ultimate Fighting Championship (as seen on PPV, SpikeTV and Fox Sports West) as well as Pride FC (PPV, Fox Sports Network), K-1 (PPV, ESPN) and more. Set to become the Sports Illustrated for a new breed of athletes and fans, Real Fighter will introduce you to fascinating characters playing out their stories on the most dramatic stage in the world
What if we start our own through ipetitions.com and link it to the GetTFN.com site?
I still say a 10,000 name online petition will get Comcast's exec's attention.
http://www.ipetitions.com/ --maybe this is a start.
It looks like lip service to me. I don't think the emails/phone calls are getting through to the decison makers. I am proposing that we add an online petition to the GetTFN.com website. It must be legit--and shoot for a goal of 10,000 people that want TFN. This will carry some real weight and have some impact. It sounds like these 5 dollar an hour phone reps are just blowing us off.

Rasica, I agree. MMA is becoming more mainstream. Trajectory sports needs to act with a sense of urgency, TFN has a small window of opportunity to capitalize.
Wrong, RJ, you don't have to wait for anything. Round up 2 or 3 thousand MMA fanatics at Sherdog.net, t-nation.com and dragondoor.com and work them into a frenzy about getting it on their local cable co. The cable co's will listen.

Varok is of the opinion that the CD selling was over yesterday and that we should see strong upward movement soon, FWIW.
Be patient..next 45 days are big here. Trajectory will begin to flex their muscle. They have been on the job for almost 10 weeks now, they already are well connected with all the major players in Satellite and Cable tv. Just a matter of time now.
I have no idea..PHBT hasnt had a PR in about 7 months or so.
I know you've been patient, but I think the NEXT 45 days are where we will start to see some action. It's time for Trajectory Sports to start flexing some of their muscle. They have been on board with TFN for almost 60 days. Preparation is over, its time for action.
Yes, alot of positive feedback plus others saying they can't believe a channel like that exists and can't wait to get it. A guy actually said it would motivated him to buy a tv and get cable!
The message boards is where you start a grass roots marketing campaign. TFN should place banner ads on sherdog.net and ads in Real Fighter and other MMA mags. A great way to reach the target market. Another strategy might be to send T shirts and other promotional items to the big MMA schools.
Sponsoring the Toronto MMA expo is a great idea, but I'd like to see more effort in the US.
I wonder if it would be more constructive for him to post on the multitude of MMA message boards and rally 1,000 MMA fanatics to call their local cable operator and DEMAND TFN. Actually, I wonder if it would be more constructive for the majority of the board to practice the same.
I've started 3 separate threads on T-nation.com (600k visitors a month) regarding TFN.
July at the earliest, IMO. Run up around June. Remains at .0003-.0006 til then.
I'd imagine Pannetta's and Varok's group will buy up to a Billion if it goes to .0002. I'd be in a for a couple hundred million as well.
absolutely Zen, afterall, they have only added 10 cable companies in the last month or so and done 4 PPV's. It really looks like dead duck. ;)
Its all about the iodine, Aussie, all about the iodine. I am expecting the first patent to approved around June or July.
PHBT is applying for a patent that would disinfect contaminated water.
OT: I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but MMA (mixed martial arts) is actually the fastest growing spectator sport in N. America. I don't think the NFL is in danger just yet, but keep an eye on that sector.
sounds like a helluva strong tail <E>
Gee..I wonder if it would make sense to place banner ads on an MMA site like Sherdog.net that receives over 800k unique visitors a month. I wonder how many would request TFN from their local cable co after seeing the ad?
no, but the share price will climb like a monkey on crack. EOM
euro..did friend give tip to only european clientel..me hear nothing..but have hi hopes for good news release.
Best idea yet! Maybe we can add it to getTFN.com
