IBOX Alert: Buy ERFW ('Long' list) at opening bell on 27/08/2007.
Let's buy back this stock (last eod .78) and add it to our 'long' picks .
Last bail out price was .94 , so we still do a good move.

The confidence is back to this stock due to the last news of a 10M funding : a vote of confidence thus for their plans to expand in many places .

.I also estimate a stock target : 2 dollar within 12 months .

LEAGUE CITY, Texas, Aug 23, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ERF Wireless (ERFW) , a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless and broadband products and services, announced today that its ERF Enterprise Network Services subsidiary has completed a funding arrangement for its US-BankNet system with BancLeasing Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Varilease Technology Finance, Inc., a Michigan corporation. US-BankNet, the encrypted, enterprise-class wireless, fiber and satellite network owned and operated by ERF Enterprise Network Services, provides contracting financial institutions with secure, high-speed connectivity to key banking service providers, the Federal Reserve, fiber gateways and the Internet.

The US-BankNet strategic plan calls for ERF Enterprise Network Services to enter into long-term contracts with financial institutions that generate significant revenues and positive cash flows from a variety of US-BankNet products and services provided across the network. The company doesn't build segments of its US-BankNet system on speculation. Deployment is implemented only after contracts are signed with financial institutions and BancLeasing provides the funding. Currently, the company is aggressively marketing US-BankNet in Louisiana and Texas, but plans to quickly move into Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, thus paving the way for expansion into other regions until US-BankNet has attained nationwide coverage.

"It is one of the best business models we have seen in years," said Mark Buchanan, EVP of BancLeasing. "When John Burns first presented the strategic plan for US-BankNet to us, we wanted to be the funding partner for this innovative communications network. BancLeasing is excited to establish this relationship with ERF Wireless to provide the necessary capital structure to help it significantly grow its business." Mr. Buchanan further commented, "As a leading provider of equipment financing, the primary focus of BancLeasing is serving community banks and their commercial business customers across the United States. Our strategic alliances with our client banks allow them to capture lease opportunities that maximize the economic, tax and accounting considerations of their commercial business customers, thus fostering mutually beneficial long-term relationships between us, our client banks, and their customers."

John Burns, CEO of ERF Enterprise Network Services, commented, "With BancLeasing now funding the committed segments of US-BankNet, we are ready to set our sights on signing additional financial institutions to long-term product and service agreements. We are no longer constrained to use internal capital to fund growth of US-BankNet and we expect to make a series of announcements in the very near future resulting from our substantial pipeline of prospective financial institutions. The sales force is generating considerable traction in the banking industry for this new and exciting solutions-driven technology."

Deployment of US-BankNet also enables the sale of the company's advanced digital applications systems including its VoIPNet (Voice-over-IP), VideoNet (high-definition video conferencing), SatNet (satellite failover), StorageNet (offsite data storage and backup across the high-speed data network), and ImageNet (remote monitored video surveillance) products available throughout the US-BankNet system.
