Sky is the limit on this one!!
Thats where your wrong. Thats where you'd like it to be, but it's not happening
Haven't even looked @ the account, are we holding?
Well you jumped ship so we're not hearen yo
At least were holding. Running to the bank, any body need a loan for more IPKL. May hit Western U for all. Thats just the way I'm feeling with all the money I have made on IPKL.
lytnup...Check PM
I say OTC QX would be the best exchange for the upgrade. Not the qx with the dollar min. The QX without dollar min.
IPKL look for bottom @ .0006 tomorrow if it gets there.
Close @ .0007. Many are shocked @ current level nearly a blip from major China JV signing. Just thought I'd throw it on out for anybody interested.
Someone also mentioned, the last time they left for China, we saw the same type activity. I know we are close. Still it hurts either way. I won't be selling into this. I can't afford to. We will turn. China, meaning expenses for airfare and trip.
I know for translation/legal fees, we are talking the bulk here. Somebody had mentioned that earlier. I am sure from the start of this JV process, that has been 80% at least.
I think lawyers for JV contract on something like this is probably @ a rate that is unimaginable. This isn't like traffic court.
I bet High priced NewYork Lawyers are over a grand an hour.
My tree will be decorated with little JV ornaments..
For me this is a dry Christmas...
Exept for a tree with some decorations.
Wish I had timed it like you....
I'm still here, ready and waiting.
One last time...
IPKL @ .0007 is
Dam near a bottom..
The pain I am in.
Thought I had this game all
figured out.
Just like any other stock.
One day I will learn to form
a position more like a week before
the pop. Not 2 months.
Pretty soon I'll be eaten
at the local Soup kitchen.
Portland is famous for those.
All I'll need next is a "Spare Change"
sign hanging from my neck.
With a dog named Fido, by my side......
For sympathy from passer bys only.........
I read this again, and thought it was worth posting. If there is one thing to get out of this article, it is how far advanced IPKL's systems are from other attempts. Sorry to repost it, I really believe that many are blind to the big picture here.

This is an older article, It shows how behind they are with this technology. They tested 7 other systems, and all sound like they came from the cave man era. ipmine was not tested through MSHA, but an interview with Kanno was included. Now you see why the World Market is still open. These people mean well, But as far as wireless technology, Kanno and crew are probably laughing at other attempts. These guys really are 20 years behind. Remember IPKL'S crew has many years of understanding, when it comes to wireless communications. All others, are just taking a stab at what they thing could or should work. In reality, they are clueless. Within a year, there systems will be shipping from China. On the Box, it will be labled I-Packets International.
Inside the box, will be ipmine, and it will be made and shipped from China. Simple enough. The Market belongs to Ipackets International. This article makes it perfectly clear.
Wireless devices allow communication with miners through ground
Friday, April 28, 2006
By Steve Twedt, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Deep inside Consol Energy Co.'s McElroy Mine in Marshall County, W.Va., a small group of men laid out two wire coils in loops yesterday.
The team from Transtek Inc. of Pittsburgh is one of seven field-testing prototype wireless two-way communication systems that, if successful, would enable working miners to talk with people on the surface in real time.
Transtek, for example, has one coil for transmitting and one for receiving, using the earth as a conductor. A company spokesman said the system was successful in a test this spring at 280 feet below the surface at the Lake Lynn Laboratory Experimental Mine in Fayette County.
Following this week's testing, David Chirdon of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration said each of the seven systems "had some positives and some negatives."
The wireless systems were tried at depths up to 700 feet underground, he said. While some got a through-the-earth signal at 200 feet, "we didn't see anything that goes above 300 feet."
With some U.S. mines reaching more than 2,000 feet beneath the surface, those results might seem discouraging -- yet Mr. Chirdon said he could foresee a viable two-way system becoming commercially available in a year or so.
The reason for his optimism: Since the death of 12 miners at Sago Mine No. 1 in Upshur County, W.Va., in January, MSHA officials have fielded more than 100 proposals for underground coal communications systems.
Mr. Chirdon, who heads MSHA's electrical safety division and would evaluate systems for safety, said 10 have formally applied for certification.
Before Sago, MSHA averaged two proposals annually.
Why the change?
Vendors have told Mr. Chirdon they believe mine operators will soon be required to have two-way wireless systems, although MSHA has not yet made such a proposal. Current federal law requires only that mines have "telephones or other two-way communication equipment with instructions for their use."
At Sago, a methane explosion behind a sealed portion of the mine trapped 13 miners. When rescuers reached them 41 hours later, only one miner, Randal McCloy Jr., had survived. Many believe the miners could have been directed to safety had there been a way to communicate with them. The phone line in place was disabled in the blast.
The tragedy has heightened interest in finding a workable system for talking to miners underground.
"Originally we didn't think there was a market for the product in North America. We thought safety was not an issue in North American mines," said Niles Kanno, president and CEO of iPackets International in Vancouver, British Columbia.
This spring, his company sold its first two systems for text message communication inside coal mines in China, where mines -- and mining deaths -- are far more prevalent than in the United States.
Mr. Kanno said his firm's device, called iPMine, was not among those field-tested by MSHA, but he has talked to MSHA officials about submitting it for certification later.
"It's no different than seat belts or air bags. Once it became mandated, you see a number of companies out there doing it."
Luke Popovich, spokesman for the National Mining Association representing the coal industry, said mine operators have not sought wireless two-way systems because "we really haven't found a product that works effectively in most underground coal mines in the United States."
"The reasons for this certainly include the fact that we're a small market for the technology provider and it's an unattractive market for them to make a device that meets our needs and recovers their costs," Mr. Popovich said.
"They're not responsible for mines, they're responsible for making a product. If it's your money, can you recover the investment you're going to make?"
Phil Smith, Mr. Popovich's counterpart at the United Mine Workers of America, said that if the market were there, the products would follow. "It will take the government telling the coal companies 'You must do it,' and therefore it creates a market. But if mine operators aren't required to put them in the mines, the mine operators won't do it."
Because of Sago, MSHA officials took the unusual step of setting up the field tests, and Mr. Chirdon said yesterday that "it's been a great learning process. We've gotten a lot of good information. We found there isn't any single great solution
Makes two. I wish I had timed it a little better. Than again I think that can be speaking for many who have built, and held a position here.
Should be soon. creates a nice buying opp, much closer to jv signing than much of us had planned on several months ago. This is always how it happens. Next time I will wait until we are so close, that I run the risk of missing initial pop. It beats the pain of watching your portfolio dwindle for months. Anytime big news is expected, always remember, that right before, is best time to buy. Everybody that follows this rule will be much better off the next time around. IMO
You and me both.
With you all the way to Seattle...FL

"Our management team has visited China on several occasions in the past and by far this was the most intensive and productive visit ever," said Naiel P. Kanno, iPackets' President and CEO. "The dedication of the management team made it possible to accomplish all items on our agenda and established a framework for the JV."
About the Mining and Mine Safety Industries in China
China comprises more than 280,000 mining enterprises, of which 80,000 are state-owned. There are over 25,000 state-owned coal mines in China, of which over 700 are classified as large mines. Mine safety has been a major issue in the Chinese mining industry, with more than 6,000 miners killed in mining-related accidents in China last year; independent estimates say the real figure could be as high as 20,000. According to Chinese government statistics, more than 12.2 million people were employed as miners in 2005, and approximately 7.0 million of these were coal miners.
THINK ABOUT IT.
IPKL owns the software technology, and when the terms get disclosed..we're talking up to 35% on each mining sale that
ranges from 500k in small mines to $2 mil. in large mines
for the entire country of China.
This just didn't happen. Naeil has been working on this
deal for over 6 years.
Read the P.R...over 700 hundred are classified as large mines.
IPKL isn't doing the production; they are providing the software installation...cuts costs, and why the jv venture.
Now, multiply 700 x 1.5M(being conservative) per mine=1.05 bil.
We're not talking about the other mines here folks which is
200,000 and change x 500k(conservative)=100 billion.
Take 101 bil. sales(minimum) x IPKL's cut(conservative) 25%=25 BILLION
Huge.
Conservative.
The reason for the F/S, they were shorted to death...so, they
wanted to clean it up...start fresh again...and clean out the
shorts.
Bottomline, the China deal needs to be completed 100% before
Naeil thinks about another country, but the contacts are
there. They've been made.
Minimum...over $20 mil. has been put into IPKL's software
technology...now, after 6 years of finalizing a deal w/ China...
we, as shareholders, get to get in on the forefront of over
a billion dollar deal, on increments of a penny.
Think IPKL could be a buyout candidate?
To succeed in life. Share your wealth. Help others. God Bless.
EZtradin
Talking about from his feelings a month ago. We got into it a little.
Unbelievable!!!!!
Nice they can do so it doesn't move price. Wish i had the inside like that.
Volume 105 million. Holy toledo
Anybody that wants to get out here isn't thinking clearly.
Down side compared to upside is completely lopsided. So you sit for a little while waiting for trend to turn up... Not to much risk in that. Just talked with Brokerstock, even he is all for IPKL after his talk with Kanno. Something I thought I would never see. Timing is the key to success with this one.
Last time they gave us a positive update, it started this downward trend. I don't want to see anything until JV is signed.
You are a little off my friend...
Just sell what you have and check back in a while.
Will ya...Please....
Didn't we close at 0008????
On a google search, it was from almost a year ago.
Only post for the day....
They will stetch it as low as
they can.. Before it springs up.
I thought that was yesterday.
Still not worried.
In my research last night, I was reassured
That IPKL's Tech. Is levels above the rest.
A little pain, a little time, We move forward.

iPackets International Targets the Multi-Billion Dollar Chinese Mine-Safety Industry to Accelerate Its Immediate Revenue Generation Strategy
VANCOUVER, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 08, 2005 -- iPackets International, Inc. (OTC: IPKL), a global provider of wireless data solutions for the network operator and enterprise markets, announced today that it's targeting the Chinese mine-safety industry with its iPMine comprehensive software solution.
iPMine is an advanced 2-way wireless solution for tracking, monitoring, and communicating with miners and equipment underground and above ground. iPMine provides the necessary tools to greatly improve all aspects of mine-safety by tracking, in real-time, the location of miners and equipment. iPMine was successfully demonstrated 1,800 feet (600 meters) below ground to one of the largest nickel and copper mining operations in China. iPackets has spent years researching the Chinese market while having made a number of site visits to build a comprehensive understanding of the market.
Mine-safety has been a major issue in the Chinese mining industry. More than 6,000 miners died in accidents in China last year, according to previously released Chinese government figures. Independent estimates say the real figure could be as high as 20,000. In March 2005, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said that the government will spend this year US$361 million on "safety technologies upgrading" at selected state-owned coal mines. In February 2005, the Chinese State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) mandated US$6.3 billion to be spent over the next three years to improve mine-safety. According to SAWS, the US$6.3 billion will bring safety systems and equipment in line with national standards. SAWS said that China reported 80 per cent of the world's total coal mining-related deaths, although it produced only 35 percent of the world's coal.

iPackets International Successfully Demonstrates Its Mine-Safety Technology to China's Seventh-Largest Coal Mining Operation
Tuesday May 30, 4:15 pm ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--May 30, 2006 -- iPackets International, Inc. ("iPackets") (Other OTC:IPKL.PK - News), a global developer and provider of a wide range of wireless and communications solutions for selected enterprises including the mining industry, announced today that the company's CEO and a technical team comprised of iPackets' vice president of engineering, Chief Technology Officer, and two software engineers have completed a six-day trip to China and successfully demonstrated the iPMine mine-safety solution to the state-owned Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Coal Mining Group ("Jincheng"), the seventh largest coal mining operation in China with over 50,000 employees.
The iPackets team was welcomed by Jincheng's chairman and president, a number of senior vice presidents, and directors. The iPMine demonstration was conducted at 540 feet (165 meters) below ground in one of Jincheng's six large-scale mines, the Phoenix mine, located in Jincheng city, Shanxi province with approximately 6,000 miners. The demonstration was attended by the Phoenix mine president, senior vice presidents, safety managers, and a number of technical staff representing various departments.
The trip and onsite demonstration were hosted by Shanghai Sendy Automation Technologies ("Sendy"), a subsidiary of Jincheng with which iPackets has been in discussion for several months. iPackets and Sendy are exploring several proposals to closely work together in penetrating the Chinese mine-safety market, including the possible creation of a joint venture between the two companies.
"We were very successful in presenting the high quality and usefulness of iPMine; we were also overwhelmed by the interest we saw," said Kouros Goodarzi, vice president of Engineering at iPackets. "To date, the best safety solution available to the mining group has been a head count of who enters the mine -- trivial compared to the diverse set of features provided through iPMine."
"The combination of technical savvy and marketing expertise in the government-owned sector of the Chinese coal industry makes Sendy the perfect partner for iPackets," added Naiel Kanno, president and CEO of iPackets. "Sendy is well positioned to help expand our market penetration considerably, and we look forward to leveraging their network and experience to quickly begin the implementation of our iPMine solution throughout China."
iPackets Introduces an Updated Version of Its Advanced iPMine-M8 810A Tracking Device With the ARM7 System-on-Chip
Wednesday September 20, 9:45 am ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 20, 2006 -- iPackets International, Inc. ("iPackets") (Other OTC:IPKL.PK - News), a developer and provider of wireless communications solutions for the global mine-safety industry, announced today that it has introduced an updated version of its Advanced iPMine-M8 810A tracking device with the ARM7 system-on-chip.
On July 11, 2006, iPackets announced the introduction of a new compact tracking device, iPMine-M8 810C, based on the ARM7 system-on-chip. iPackets has successfully implemented and tested the same ARM7 technology on its Advanced iPMine-M8 810A model.
