Great News: VeriSign sold/dumped copi...
Expect VeriSign to offer a newer + better call screener
almost overnight. And, for half price to its new customers.
Because VeriSign won't have to give 50% to copi. It's a
no-brainer for VeriSign. They've been doing ~ALL of copi's
old screen+block work , for years ; and , VeriSign has an
expert staff of hundreds of high-tech programmers ; and
they have had copies of copi's old software , for years ;
and must know exactly what parts need to be improved ;
without infringing on copi's old patent. And, VeriSign has
a current list of All of copi's old customers , because
VeriSign has been doing ~All of the billing + collecting.
We expected VeriSign to eventually buy-out copi's patent ,
as copi ran out of cash. But, this is a way better move for
VeriSign. They Collected cash by selling their old copi
contract ; and can start fresh , with better software , to
be sold at a ~40-60% lower cost to copi's old customers ,
and provide ~40-60% higher direct + immediate profits to
VeriSign. And, best of All , for VeriSign ; they won't have
to 'hire' any of copi's 'execs' as part-time + overpaid
'consultants' , during the '1-year transition' , that we
previously predicted would be part of the 'deal' , to pay
off the copi Insiders + Preferreds , without having to even
pay 1 penny to any common copi 'share'holder.
By the way ; even copi does not think that its old patent
is worth much. Just check copi's latest 10-K. Its Audited
'value' is ~$20,000 , and dropping fast toward $0 , because
its ~17-year [IOO] 'lifetime' is almost expired.
Here it is ; from copi's latest 10-K ,
as of 31 December 2008 / 2007 :
" Patents, net >> 20,285 / 21,785 "
extra , Sincerely .
P.S. ; It's all predicted by "Moore's Law" .
Every ~18 months, All retail consumer costs
for computer stuff drops ~50%. That includes
hardware + software + computerized services.
And, copi's TeleBunk is just an old + low-tech +
Totally computerized software service , that compares
a potential telannoyer's target phone number , to a
US Govt-provided list of citizens that don't want to be
telannoyed by any of copi's soon-to-be previous customers ,
even after VeriSign signs them up , soon , for ~half price.
By the way ; Does this count as the 'acquisition'
that copi and their IR-guys have been re-scheduling ,
for more than a year , so far ?
We think it might qualify , legally/technically.
VeriSign sold copi's contract ; so , copi 'acquired' a new
hoster ; for a while , assuming that TNS wants the work ,
and TNS can afford the price-cut that we expect to see ,
within a very few months. Even before VeriSign [or anyone
else] rolls-out some lower-priced teleblocker , we expect
that copi's cut of All calls via the new 'acquirer' will be
cut by ~25% , due to start-up costs and lower efficiencies
of the new hoster. After all , TNS is a Real + Profitable
NYSE-Traded Company , that Must profit from copi.
Then , and soon-after , [IOO] , when VeriSign , or anyone ,
rolls-out any new teleblocker , copi's cut will have to drop
an additional 40-60%. And, copi could do it, easily. They
just have to cut 60% of their expenses. We know that they
could easily cut 60% of their employees [+ car leases ,
+ 'travel' to convention parties]. Because there really is
~No work for most copi 'employees + execs' ; since TNS will
be doing ~All of the hosting + billing + collecting ; and
AT&T will be doing ~All of the few new sales + remaining old
customer service ; and copi's programmers + testers have not
updated copi's 'patent' for many years , if ever ; so , it
won't even be noticed when they move out. [Maybe to VeriSign.]
GLTA. We may re-play copi , shortly , if copi can ever
re-starts trading more than $5000 per day , like they
used to , in the good ole days , when the copi 'execs'
used to predict ever being 'cash flow neutral' , someday ,
maybe , with a raft of legally-required warnings covering
'risk factors' + 'forward looking statements'.
