TS - obviously!
SWAG:
I think that this is great (real) volume. I suspect those 20 million days were manipulations. For now, they have the shares they want. I am sure a lot of traders taking profit today.
Lets hope we get a nice steady rise before each new PR.
There will be a lot of new companies waving the NeoMedia flag.
What does Cramer say?
ALL ABOARD!
NeoMedia's Fritz said that his company "is eager to work with Virgin to help launch its PaperClick words in the PaperClick WordRegistry(TM) to promote new Virgin stores and to wave the flag together."
50 cents BUY BUY BUY
No - Fn WAy :0)
Moxi,
My thoughts exactly.
Why would any company-especially at this stage-allow use of competitors tech? NOT!
Besides, why would any company do business with NeoMedia if they did not respect that they are ahead of the curve with the patents to back it up?
JMO
Yes, but...
the launch of PaperClick and licensing are two different animals.
Now that's news!!!
Funny, I was watching the War of the Worlds trailer last night, thinking - hmmmm - what is the possibility?
The company does not appear to be an entity anymore.
It's an old document from 2000.

FCBi Forges Motorola Relationship
May 12, 2005
By Kathleen Sampey
NEW YORK Motorola has awarded its global digital customer relationship marketing business to Interpublic Group's FCBi, part of Foote Cone & Belding, the agency said.
All told, Motorola spends an estimated $100 million annually on worldwide marketing. WPP Group's Ogilvy & Mather is lead agency on that business. The budget for the relationship marketing work was not disclosed, but estimated interactive spending by the client is $3-5 million.
The FCBi win follows a review in which multiple finalists around the world participated, including the incumbent, WPP's Wunderman.
This marks the first new-busienss score under Pam Larrick, who joined FCBi in January as its first worldwide CEO from sibling agency MRM Partners, part of IPG's McCann WorldGroup.
In a statement, FCB CEO Brendan Ryan said,"Our newest global client is exactly the forward-thinking kind of partner we were seeking. Motorola is a global communications leader that provides products and solutions across broadband, embedded systems and wireless networks." FCBi will handle the work out of its office in New York.
Motorola senior director of global Web marketing Benjamin Hill added in a statement, "Motorola chose FCBi for their quality and creativity. Solidifying our brand presence on the Web will continue to drive our vision of seamless mobility."
404,
During 2001 NASDAQ began negotiating with the SEC to become an exchange. At the same time they planned to replace the OTCBB with a new system having some corporate governance standards plus defined listing standards compliant with the newly enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In July 2003 NASDAQ discontinued these plans.
However, this does not mean that OTCBB companies can ignore Sarbanes-Oxley! Although they are exempt from some of the requirements, they must live up to most of them. As of July 15, 2005 the smaller companies must comply with the toughest part -- Section 404, which requires that a company demonstrate sound financial controls and test those controls regularly. As this can be costly, some emerging companies can no longer afford to report to the SEC or have decided to spend the money on developing their product instead. These companies either go private or decide to continue trading on the Pink Sheets.

Be careful what you ask for :)
Beacon:
We are not privy to information until it is released.
We have to learn about what we own by researching, wading through rumors, analyzing what other companies are doing, listening to what experts are saying, and reviewing past events to connect the dots.
This certainly has helped me SURVIVE at least three major assaults on the PPS.
I don't understand why you publicly object. It is what this board was put here for.

I hate to think anyone in an ethical and legal position would willingly hurt others for their own gain. (Sure, I believe that)
Fate often has a way of catching up. I can't help but think how many have got hurt by this move.
Watching TS on Bulls, I keep thinking he's going to have a stroke with one of his outbursts. He needs to get on a trend mill.
I'll pray for him and those that got hurt by these moves.
Hi Tongue,
Same story here. I showed her how to access the account. I hope she was not looking this morning.
Big Blocks too!
TS short squeeze?

Reports of excitement:
I had a feeling this was going to happen today. Not the delay, but the PPS free-fall. Yes, it is very painful, as I have not traded one share.
This may have happened even if there was not a postponement and there was no news. What are they going to say midday? Someone wants cheap shares.
In my optimistic point of view -- some will call it foolish — I have to believe that there is a very good chance that the settlement is actually done. The delay is simply clerical or by design.
This might explain the EXCITEMENT expressed in THE email and on the phone.
Just a thought. Call it what you will.
I also believe a few at Neom follow this board and trust only a few here. Is it me, or has Neom recently updated their bio page including direct contact information. This really surprises me. I am amazed they are so willing to make it so easy for crazy traders to have access. How about the handsome photo of Copus? :) He looks like a very no- nonsense, capable and trustworthy man. I sure wish they would put Barclay's and Keil's photo in. CJ looks distinguished, but needs a better photo. :)
God Bless Everyone.
Thanks D,
It is very hard to be excited on days like these. I can't thank you enough for sharing.
It comforts me to see that CJ is EXCITED!
OT - RB chatter,
Looks like we have a Changewave pumper trying to get last minute subscribers, so TS can say, told you so.
A few others have gone positive. :)
Thinking out loud.
I don't expect another delay. I expect a settlement. I don't expect any details.
The attorneys asked for a short delay last time, and it was the court that delayed it further due to a busy schedule.
Nope, both parties want it done.
Because...
in all likelihood, Mobiqa is a licensee.

Quiet Period Help Please:
Why are some assuming the quiet period may be over?
Has the price/formula been set between June 1 and June 6th?
Do we assume that this second s4/a is the final signed document, which may be followed by a PR?
Has anyone contacted NEOM to clarify?

ICANN in Hot Seat over .net Registry Report
By Keith Regan
E-Commerce Times
04/01/05 1:13 PM PT
Germany-based Denic, one of the other four firms vying with VeriSign for the right to control the .net domain, slammed the report, saying it was "sloppy" work replete with "serious factual errors" that led to mistaken conclusions.

A report recommending that VeriSign is well positioned to remain in charge of the ".net" domain name registries is coming under repeated criticism, as the Internet's international governing body finds itself in the eye of yet another controversy.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) received a report earlier this week from a consulting firm hired to determine what vendor had the best infrastructure in placed to handle the registration oversight.
'Sloppy' Work Alleged
The report scored VeriSign higher than all four other bidders for the work in many of the 14 categories it examined. The report was conducted by Telcordia Technologies.
Earlier in the week, Germany-based Denic, one of the other four firms vying with VeriSign for the right to control the domain, slammed the report, saying it was "sloppy" work replete with "serious factual errors" that led to mistaken conclusions.
One drawback cited in the report by the reviewers was that Denic uses a proprietary software system to operate its domains; Denic says that's not the case and provided evidence to that effect to ICANN.
More recently, the chairman of an internal ICANN committee that established the methodology for the report added his voice to the din, citing a "serious flaw in the methodology."
In a note to an ICANN mailing list, technical committee head Philip Sheppard said Telcordia "used a scoring system which was biased towards multiple technical criteria" rather than using competition as a key factor, as the committee that launched the review had ordered.
The controversy is likely to spill over into an ICANN meeting scheduled to start Monday in Argentina.
Princely Sums
While it's not clear how much the right to operate the domain is worth, VeriSign says that the .net domain sees some US$700 billion per year in e-commerce activity and some 3 trillion Web page views.
VeriSign's current contract expires on June 30. Some in the Web community had hoped that since VeriSign controls the ".com" registry, a second vendor would be handed the right to oversee ".net."
Others in the running in addition to VeriSign and Denic include Ireland-based Afilias, Sentan Registry Services and Core++, which is actually an alliance of several smaller firms.
Telcordia's report suggested that both Sentan and VeriSign (Nasdaq: VRSN) are well equipped to handle the contract to oversee the domain, while it said the other two firms had serious shortcomings.
Some in the domain world had no doubt wanted to see VeriSign ousted as .net registrar because of its controversial decision to implement the "site finder" service in which all misspelled or incorrect URLs entered in Web browsers resulted in a user being sent to a VeriSign-controlled site.
Decision To Come
ICANN has asked the "Internet community" to provide feedback on the Telcordia report before a final decision is made but has also reportedly opened discussions with VeriSign about the possible terms of a contract extension.
Many believe VeriSign always had an advantage because ICANN might opt for stability and continuity and because VeriSign already operated the massive .com registry and has handled the .net domain without major complaints.
However, there is little love lost between the two, since VeriSign attempted to sue the governing body over its efforts to shut down Site Finder. A judge tossed the case out.
Whatever the outcome, analysts say the case is a reminder that many people and businesses remain frustrated over the governance of the Internet, which many believed grew far faster, especially in terms of e-commerce, than ICANN was prepared to handle.
ICANN is also stirring the pot with plans to roll out more top-level domains, including specialty domains for things such as travel sites and job listings as well as a special mobile domain where pages optimized for viewing on mobile devices could be positioned
