Thanks for the pump. Since then I have sold my condo, backed up the truck and put in another $15000 into NEOM. So for me the slight delay in things was a bonus. I am looking forward to the publicity of the Virgin store re-opening in NY along with many more just like around the world.
Other companies will see the benefits and will want to go where Branson already is. Good for NEOM.
I believe we will see the launch of the name registry tomorrow. (name registry for the trademarks) Followed by the launch of the word registry (non-trademarked names like pizza, soda, cola, car) in short order. I base this on background research and the discussions with IR and other NEOMites over the last few months.
I would also add that we will be seeing an expansion of ties between NEOM and other companies overseas. One thing I believe that NEOM needs to truly go international is a someone to be the host of their services in Europe, South America, and elsewhere. Based on recent travels I would expect as CF has stated in the past to look to Europe. So I am looking east and waiting.
The long path toward a 19.9 percent partner. Don't have a clue on this one. NEOM's leadership has a plan and is working it on their own schedule to do it right. If they do it like they have been, then it will be a longer uphill battle but a successful one. They aren't overpromising like many companies do. Recent results with bringing on Silicon Space appear to be brilliant maneuvers in the face of advesity with the relationship with SAIC failing. SS is a smaller and hungry company. The paperclick site is looking good. Also when you send in comments about software issues they get fixed promptly. Shows like the right degree of staffing and forethought have gone into this.
The rest of the wireless world is starting to bring in technology to support the ultimate plan of NEOM. With the technology catching up with the NEOM plan, we will start to see traction. A 19.9 percent partner from a big company will help shorten the uphill climb and bring good things on a little faster. I cannot predict who and when. Heck I would not be surprised someone would come along and make an offer that many would not refuse. GOOG, MSFT, YHOO, ORCL, etc have billions of cash and will do anything to cut the other off at the pass. We are the type of company they want. Get the NR, WR and PP going, have people use and like it and then the big players will spend the cash to buy it. Would you sell for $2.00 per share, $3.00, ...? Think about these things. You may have to make a choice. I think that the management is looking for a listing on the NASDAQ by 2006 so that's a minimum of $5.00 per share. I am with them.
To me the glass is half full and filling up. Eventually, we will be toasting each other in L.V.
