Shares of jphc will be accounted for, & cancelled. New shares from the aquiring company will be issued to the current shareholders of jphc at close of transaction. Value of jphc shares stated at .005.
Form 15 filing by Jupiter gives aquiring company right to buy up to 10% of the o/s of jupiter prior to closing.
Short interest has to cover because of cancel of jphc shares at closing.
Huge short interest groups screaming for help to cover.
Paid bashers appearing everywhere to confuse the market.
They have to cover, or lose bigtime cash.

This is an important point ...
re: form 15
And as such by Not being a reporting company...It allows for the potential buyer to acquire 10%+ of the OS in the open market 'Without Having to File' disclosure thereof, but before the potential acquisition/definitive agreement is announced ;)
They may have already bought or will buy..adding to runup.
At a discount.
hence.. everybody makes money on this deal

Re: service .. must depend on your locality & what you're after.
Bizarre that service is so inconsistent.
re: BMI
I'll submit privately in future.
good day
Bmi ..I have to disagree on service. Been a sub since Nov. 05.
Service has improved Dramatically. Without question. imo
However ..
Where do you get 6k subs?
An estimate ?
Additionally.. in your posts..
reading into them..
you make gnf appear to be an insignificant player in this arena..at this time.
I believe we're vested in a major player with growth issues which will be ironed out over time.
I'm pissed about the financial terms gnf has negotiated, but I do not want to belittle the potential here..too much unknown yet.
I do agree that current capacity could not justify additional retailer agreements beyond aafes.
No one reply to this post please.
Except bmi.

looking much brighter! *eom*

Bell Labs goes with this deal..
France's Alcatel to buy Lucent for $13.4 bln
By Sudip Kar-Gupta and Jessica Hall Sun Apr 2, 7:22 PM ET
PARIS/PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - French communications-equipment maker Alcatel said on Sunday it would buy smaller U.S. rival Lucent Technologies Inc. for $13.4 billion to gain market heft and broaden its product mix.
Together, the companies would have total revenue of $25 billion, roughly matching current industry leader Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:CSCO - news). They would also wield greater clout to negotiate prices with customers and enjoy a broader research and development base.
"Competition is increasing and size and scale really matter," Lucent (NYSE:LU - news) Chief Executive Patricia Russo told analysts and reporters on a conference call, adding that the prospect of joining the companies' research and development muscle helped to cinch the deal.
Russo, 53, will serve as CEO of the combined Paris-based company, although she does not speak French.
The transaction, which analysts said could trigger other mergers throughout the equipment sector, comes five years after Lucent and Alcatel first discussed a merger. Talks broke down in 2001 after Lucent balked at the idea of a takeover, rather than a so-called "merger of equals."
Alcatel (CGEP.PA) (NYSE:ALA - news) would now own 60 percent of the combined company, whose name has yet to be determined. It expects the deal to boost earnings per share in the first year, excluding restructuring charges.
JOB CUTS
The companies plan to cut about 10 percent of their combined work force, or about 8,800 jobs. Alcatel Chairman and Chief Executive Serge Tchuruk would be nonexecutive chairman.
"The question for Alcatel/Lucent is, can they put this company together without a lot of integration risks?" UBS analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos said.
With the deal, Lucent would gain a stronger partner after struggling to cut costs and restructure following the loss of business after the burst of the Internet bubble, analysts said.
Alcatel, which has expertise in high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, would gain Lucent's dominance in wireless technology and contracts with big carriers such as Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - news).
Alcatel also gets Bell Labs, Lucent's historic research arm, which is responsible for technological inventions ranging from transistors and lasers to cellular telephone technology, data networking and communications satellites.
The companies expect the deal to close in six to 12 months, but analysts said the French and U.S. governments will likely scrutinize the structure of the transaction to ensure that each firm's sensitive military contracts are protected.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Lucent said it would create an independent unit that would run some U.S. government work. The subsidiary would be separately managed by a board composed of three U.S. citizens "acceptable to the U.S. government," Russo said.
Analysts said exactly what would go into that subsidiary is likely to be open for debate, as well as a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which must clear foreign acquisitions of U.S. companies.
Lucent's government work includes an advanced communications system for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon's technology incubator.
"I don't think there's any rational reason for anyone to oppose this deal. But rationality and politics are two different things. It doesn't mean that this deal doesn't become a political football," said Stephen Kamman, an analyst with CIBC World Markets.
Several recent deals with international companies have raised national security concerns among U.S. lawmakers. Most recently, state owned Arab company Dubai Ports World agreed to transfer operation of six U.S. port terminals to a U.S. entity to defuse a political firestorm.
DISCOUNT PRICE
Under the terms of the deal, Lucent shareholders will receive 0.1952 of an ADS (American Depositary Share) of Alcatel for every common share of Lucent that they currently hold.
The deal values Lucent at about $3.01 per share, or slightly below its closing stock price of $3.05 on the New York Stock Exchange Friday.
Despite that discount, Lucent Chief Financial Officer John Kritzmacher called the deal "fair and equitable." The price reflects a 6.7 percent premium over the price of Lucent's stock before news of the merger talks first emerged 10 days ago.
The price also values Lucent at about 17 times projected earnings, which is below the industry average of about 22 times.
Analysts said the deal could force rivals to add more sales staff, revamp their product lines or consider mergers as a way to cut costs.
"I think everybody's thinking about what they want to do when they grow up," CIBC's Kamman said. "This is going to drive some more soul-searching."
SATELLITE COMPLICATIONS
The Alcatel-Lucent deal has been partly complicated by Alcatel's desire to transfer its satellite unit to France's Thales SA (TCFP.PA) in exchange for a larger stake in Europe's biggest defense electronics company. The move is aimed placing Alcatel's sensitive civil and military satellite projects under control of a French entity.
Meanwhile, Franco-German Airbus parent EADS (EAD.PA) has campaigned to be allowed to contribute its own satellite unit in return for a Thales stake and shared power with Alcatel.
Thales said its board would meet on April 4 and look at the "complementary" proposals from both Alcatel and EADS.
Alcatel shares closed down 1.5 percent at 12.77 euros on Friday. Its ADS closed at $15.40, off 31 cents, or 2 percent.

Any prediction of potential G forces we may have to contend with tomorrow ?
pvc ..oops ..no need to reply to my previous message/. You guys have ;pretty much covered it.
thx

careful & prudent issuance of shares during pps growth is acceptable in my opinion. Cash needed to grow.
Also, existing in this otc market is tough. The decision to set the AS
@ 25 b was to ward off certain would be attacks attempting to take control. ( as many here agree)
Do you think cc would want an agreement like this without some assurance that gnf will remain gnf
and not a public company vulnerable to takeover? The share price manipulation is bad enough.

We'll start working it in a couple weeks. I'm actually holding some from .003.
We need a catalyst to get any movement on this.. low key style can't cut it.

Good morning . I hope today brings us good returns & maybe even a positive pr. Coffee is brewing , little late this am.
Best of luck.

I agree with you..
"I would have to say the 25,000,000,000 in question was a move to keep anyone from getting any ideas of a takeover alot of BIO companies do it while in phase trials , also to allow for weak hands to dump and others to buy at what I consider a bargin. IMO "
thanks

GZFX's market cap is only about $30 mill right now. Announcing an immediate nationwide CC rollout and the virtually guaranteed #2 position in the disc rental space makes GZFX a BIG takeover target. Keep in mind NFLX is worth about $1500 mill now. ANY retailer or competitor could buy GZFX with their spare change at this price. It's likely that takeover bids have already been discussed.
Of course JF has increased the A/S to allow for a 13D poison pill. This PROTECTS us shareholders from a "cheap" takeover bid. GZFX's value just increased BIGTIME last night and many know this. It would be poor management to announce a deal of this magnitude and not allow the company and shareholders to enjoy the growth by protecting us from a quick buyout. A near-term filing should spell this out soon.
Poison Pill:
"A tactic by a company targeted for takeover to make its stock less appealing to the acquiring company in the hope of blocking the takeover. For example, the company might issue preferred stock that gives shareholders the right to redeem their shares at a premium after the takeover.
