Post# of 78729
This is my thoughts about a phone conversation with John today.
Most of this comes from the email I sent him the other day.

Patents. When patents were applied for in the US that triggers a time period for foreign patents to be filed. Yes there is a treaty patent that can be done. Besides that though you need to go to each country with the patent written in their language. This is a very expensive process. Before the time period runs out NV will have it done.

Media Blitz. The word blitz means different things to different people. So I'm going to use the word campaign that fits NV and FH.

The media campaign is well under way. As some of you heard at the shareholder meeting around 400 media outlets were or are in the process of being contacted. I forgot what word John used were or are. So you will need to confirm that wording for yourself.

The expectations out of this media campaign is for feature articles to be written. In order to have that happen though it is a process of building credibility in order to have feature articles written.

The reason is because these people need to protect themselves. They look at NV. A little OTCBB company. They say why yes we'd love to write your story but we need to look out for our own reputation also. So we arrive back at the credibility issue. They want to know about this technology.

The media has been approached by countless other companies who say they have the answer to all sorts of problems only to find out it is hype. What makes you think we should believe you is basicly what they are saying?

How can we build that credibility process?
Starting with Cambridge as a HUGE building block. Why? Because in the teleco industry Cambridge is known as number one. Ahead of people like MIT. As the relationship with Cambridge grows so will our credibility to the industry. the information from Cambridge to the industry is taken in the highest regard.

NV is also in the process of bringing our story to institutions that are able to buy OTCBB stocks. Their upcoming travel skedule for this type of activity is full.

In conclusion. The bottomline. Which I know for the majority of shareholders is the price. Here is the reality of the situation from what I believe based on our conversation.

If you were to ask John these two questions.
1. Are they involved in talks with telecos?
2. Are they involved in talks with equipment manufactures?
The answer to both questions would be yes.

So the question a lot of you including me ask.
Then why not help out us loyal shareholders who have held through the worst of times and put out a PR saying we are in talks with major telecos? Great question.

This is the way I understand the answer.
Credibility and trust.
In the teleco industry it is a small world when you get down to it. There is a way the industry looks at things the same.
If we were to come out with a PR saying we are in talks with major telecos they would say look at that OTCBB company in California. We can't trust them to keep their mouth shut like we asked them to. Thus you lose their trust. And with that your credibility.

Now you as a shareholder could come back with the argument yes but we have what they need, and they could increase their revenues bigtime with us. Yes that is true.

But the other side of the coin is have you ever heard of the 100 MPG carburetor? Yes they do exsist. In otherwords. If you make the wrong kind of trouble in an industry that is use to having things happen through different channels their way and you are a small nobody company. You could find yourself on the sidelines.

So I believe you need to ask yourself this. Is NV out there hyping this stock? No. Okay.

So they must methodicaly be going about a process that will have a huge impact in time.
I wish I was able to give you timelines. And all the rest.
But I beleive as hard as it may be for some of us considering our situations. We need to look beyond today. And look at the big picture. Because if we continue to look at today only we will be blindside by what tomorrow will eventually bring us.
So I ask for your patience at this time. I'd hate to lose any of you due to emotional decisions.

PS. Thought I should clear up this last point. Otherwise we may have a tea on the lawn t-shirt. That comment was in reference to Cambridge University. They have a rule no one can walk on the grass there. Okay so thats one of the reasons I never went there!
When Ray and Rich went there they were given the red carpet treatment. They were invited to have tea on the lawn. An honor that is only given to special guests. They had to go out and rent tuxs for this event. As some of you know Ivan is one of four on the board of directors there.
John told me he couldn't say anything else about what or where they went overseas but the fact is yes he said they did more then go just to Cambridge.
