A thought...
it seems rather obvious to most, that there must be a reason the cc is being delayed as long as it is from the Q3 numbers release.

So, why might this be?

Some have surmised they have a (big?) contract that was in the process of being finalized, and it will be done by 11/1. While this is certainly possible, they have been "close" on contracts before, only to see them fizzle out or never come to fruition. Can you imagine how silly they're going to look if the contract once again gets delayed, or, they announce another 500K sale to some rural Telco?

I can.

Having shredded their credibility in the past, I think Thode would want to make damn sure he had something before it was announced.

So, I started thinking, what else is going on in the Telcom world around 11/1? Could it be that ISCO actually HAS a signed contract in the bag, but due to non-dislcosure or simply the clients demands, need to stay quiet?

While listening to the NVTL cc last Wednesday evening, they stated that they would start shipping their HSDPA-Enabled PC Data Card to Cingular, STARTING November 1st. I wonder in Cingular has some big rollout planned, ISCO is part of it, and has to stay quiet until Cingular breaks the silence?

I could be all wet, but at least in my mind, this explains why the delay, and also the growing hope that they actually have something of significance to announce.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

If anyone else knows about any other big events in the Telco world tied to 11/1, please post away!
