Folks, Tom Cooper is not a "Snake oil salesman". He is a reputable, worldwide telecom exec. becoming NVEI's CEO. This is getting interesting.
Meg, that would enable Cooper to be in a position to reinforce the news more and help establish his presence as CEO.
I agree, a public-form of White Papers would be a very welcome sight.
I'd like to see Ray get to deliver something really significant before he turns over the reigns.
That is a puzzle to me too.
Excel, thanks for sharing the info.
We do need some "fresh news".
If NVEI delivers a viable product Microsoft should be very interested.
ScoreBig, are thinking what I"m thinking? Microsoft/NVEI. Could happen.
More JH, "The original patent applications are still under review by the patent office and have not been granted."
JH on patents, "Someone called and said there was some confusion regarding the patent count. Keep in mind that the prototype is a system that incorporates not just our transmission technique, but other upper layer technologies as well. That entire system incorporates the patents I mentioned earlier. There is no confusion on our part."
John Howell comments on patents, "To the best of my knowledge, various aspects of the technology for our first prototype have 4 patent applications and 3 or 4 issued patents."
A followup from John Howell, "Now that I have gotten through all the emails for the day, I would like to go back to your original question regarding tech updates. As you have seen over the past few months, much of what has been said about the technology has been through indirect reference. When we discuss the particulars of the technology with someone within the industry, we do so after everyone signs a formal non disclosure agreement. Because of the proprietary nature of what we are developing, we can not reveal details of the technology to investors in general without risking all that we are working to accomplish. So if it appears that we are vague regarding details, that is why. We will be providing technical updates and some of them will lead you to conclude the extent of progress by indirect reference and others will speak directly to certain aspects of the technology that can be discussed without risking the integrity of our secrets.
None of the individuals who have made commitments of their time and talent have done so under duress. They have done so only after personally concluding what the technology does and how it does it, and how that technology will fit into the infrastructure. I wish we could share with each of our shareholders the same information, but most would not be able to comprehend it anyway. We will continue to announce accomplishments and with each announcement, our credibility will grow."
I posed this to John Howell, "Earlier, you acknowledged that shareholders would like a tech update. Has any progress been made to inform shareholders of progress on the tech front?" JH responded,
"We recognize the appetite for tech related information. We are committed that no one starve."
texasaggie, that is a phenominal reply form JH.
I asked John Howell, "What connection does Dr. Greaves have to Microsoft? Do you think Microsoft has any awareness of the NVEI tech?" JH replied,
"The connection between Microsoft and Cambridge University is well known. I don't think there is a corporate/academic connection that rivals it. The connection between Dr. Greaves and Cambridge University is also well known. The desire for Microsoft to be a major influencer of the Internet is well known. The introduction of the X-box is an entry level product for networked interactive gaming that could very well lead into a demand for the delivery of interactive video content that the current networks are not capable of handling. The desire for New Visual to be a major player in speeding up current networks is well known."
Maybe Microsoft will like something else NVEI has.
I asked John Howell, "Will Tom Cooper make his presence felt publicly before June 1? As an investor, what should Tom Cooper becoming CEO of NVEI reveal to me?" JH replied,
"Tom is working with us on a daily basis. By the time he takes over his influence within the industry will have accrued to our benefit. Rather than try to articulate how those specifics will play out, suffice it to say that there will be ample evidence of how we will be translated from a development stage company into a revenue producing company under Tom's guidance."
If you sold NVEI on the news today. Please explain, just what was it, about the naming of a tech expert/proven developer as CEO to lead the tech to the next level and beyond, that you didn't like? Just think of the respect and contacts Mr. Cooper must have. It looks to me like this news went a long way toward validating NVEI's enormous potential. By the way, I backed up my feelings by gladly acquiring more shares today.
I asked John Howell, "Can you tell me if there's any chance you will be leaving NVEI within the year?" JH replied,
"No way. Why would I leave when things are just starting to get exciting?"
I hope JH's comment is followed up by a much-needed tech update.
I emailed JH, "It is my understanding that there has been much progress with the tech recently. When can we expect a specific update on the tech? I know this would please shareholders and help recruit new investment dollars." JH replied, "There has been much progress lately. I agree that a technical update would be greatly appreciated by all of our shareholders."
Well put, hitimer.
Cobra, do you think we'll be hearing anything substantial from the company by Easter?
I saw this on the RB PVN message board.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST RAGING BULL
I am a CEO of another public company where people continually post bashing and offensive messages. I am putting this message out to hundreds of companies that might be affected by abusive, degrading, obscene, hateful, vulgar, profane, racist, defamatory, or discriminatory language in postings.
I have problems with Lycos removing and disclosing who some of the posters are who hide behind their usernames. I want to hold Lycos accountable for the damages they have caused my company and my shareholders.
Have you had any problems with Raging Bull not enforcing their own "Terms of Service" on this site?
Have you seen abusive, degrading, obscene, hateful, vulgar, profane, racist, defamatory, or discriminatory language in postings directed toward you or anyone else or any company listed on this site, but Raging Bull has failed or refused to remove the offensive postings?
We believe the "Terms of Service" strictly prohibit such postings, yet Lycos/Raging Bull does not take sufficient action to remove such postings -- even when repeatedly requested to do so.
The result is that most sites have become, in many instances, a repository of misinformation and name-calling, rather than a place where intelligent ideas and pertinent information regarding companies and their stock are freely exchanged.
A "Class Action" type lawsuit is currently being put together to require Raging Bull to actually comply with its own "Terms of Service" -- the very terms under which all Raging Bull Members thought this site was being administered.
If you are interested in sharing any problems you have had in this regard, or are interested in directly or indirectly participating in this lawsuit, please contact me at ConcernedCEO@hotmail.com.
spokeshave, how long is the window of opportunity for the NVEI tech before FTTH possibly becomes the standard? Could the NVEI tech still remain a prominent revenue-bearing product even if FTTH thrives?
mag, that JH statement made my day.
Has anyone seen are heard any independent reports on NVEI's presentation at the CCIA meeting?
Northern Trader, actually my first price target is the coveted $4.00 mark. Hopefully, then NASDAQ reapplication will prove successful with the resulting institutional ramifications. Have you heard any discussion as to what the game plan is to get NVEI to $4.00? Will a positive "white papers" PR do it? I'm not sure a major broker enlightenment campaign by Elite will get us to $4.00 unless they have more solid evidence to present that a viable product is on the horizon.
In light of this week's developments, how realistic are these price targets for NVEI? 1 year: $10, 2 year: $25, 3 year: $45
"imminent", WOW! I don't want to sound like a "pumper" but yesterday I indicated that I thought NVEI should be pushing $1.00. That was before the fabulous news today. Elite's selling job seems to be getting easier and easier. GO NVEI!
flopflip, that, in essence is what I was asking. With recent deveopments, NVEI should be pushing $1.00.
Mikey has really let up on his criticism of NVEI. However, he mentioned a sizeable "dump" of NVEI stock today. Is this a valid concern, especially now that things are looking up?
I asked JH, "John, Evidence of progress seems to be unfolding. Please give me some idea of the reactions from those in attendance at the ccia conference. Were there skeptics? If so, what were some of their concerns about the tech and it's deployment? Did you sense any overwhelming positive reactions? Also, when can can shareholders expect to see the fruits of Elite's labor? Looking forward to hearing from you."
JH's reply, "We were in the presence of seasoned executives. None of them expressed the slightest skepticism or doubt. The first question was "can you reveal the name of the RBOC carrier you will be doing trials with?". It was a 100% positive experience."
Elderwolf, that would be sustaining $4.00 a share for 30 days, correct? When can shareholders expect to notice the fruits of Elite's labor?
Porscha or any meeting attendee, was the subject of reapplying for NASDAQ addressed?
tommcarty, did you say you have some contacts at the meeting that could possibly offer some insight into the presentation and how it was received? If so, that would be great.
This was on JDSU RB board. Doesn't this reveal indirectly NVEI's potential market?

Tech Ain't dead!!!!
Don't you believe it. Even if 70% of the fiber in the ground isn't "LIT" yet that is not the coming market.
All the fiber that is out there now is backbone and at most runs to the COs. All the runs from the COs to houses and most businesses is still copper. The next big market is to replace all the wire you see above ground with fiber. First to the poles and then to the drops and then inside the buildings themselves. The total amount of footage dwarfs the amount of fiber that has been used so far.
All of the above is my opinion - ya know. Do not invest on my say-so.

kenecom, please keep an eye-out for his take. I have a real good feeling NVEI is about to KICK A!!!
WHP03, will there be any indepedent, unbiased evaluations of Mr. Wilson's presentation available? Possibly a tech analyst from the San Diego paper or a professional tech publication?
