I feel really sorry, old pal, that you must really have nothing else to do but continue your one-man crusade of mis-information. Why don't you answer the questions or call the company, since they've been answered many times over in previous posts.
You should talk to the company, I don't think you should rely on some IR guy who doesn't sit in Board meetings, but if you want to --go ahead.
As for the knucklehead who thought they were going to ship 220mil units, it doesn't warrant a response.
...however, riddle me this
Under law, all Canadian Broadcasters and Cable TV companies have to offer a set-top decoder to viewers once encoding starts. TVL suppplies product to all the major cable co's and designed the decoders with input from them on the testing of the whole system. It may not be huge, but if they sell 300,000 units (which is a pretty paltry penetration rate for households) and gross $40US per, that's C$18mil, op margins are 50%, so that's 9mil on 60mil share or C$.15 at the operating level....just for a puny penetration of the Can mkt... now add in US retail ....US cable co .... licensing ....UK .....Europe ....
Enough said about your garbage scam talk (especially from an Acacia supporter which is about the biggest fraud I've ever seen -- hint, the Soundview boys tried to extort the other V-Chip manufacturers. Lawyers didn't know if they should laugh harder at the fact that Soundview/Acacia knew so little about their own patent and patents in general, or that they had no knowledge whatsoever about circuitry and electronic design.)
Little scary for a company (Acacia) that's nothing but some high-priced, obsolete, unproven patents that they're trying to flog with absolutely no success.
A technical situation in the market has hit TVL shares. Business execution for commercializing some technology has been superb in my view. The whole industry, not just TVL, has been slowed by delays in encoding, but that is an external event they have and their partners in this have adjusted accordingly to. Why launch and spend advert money when the coding is not 100%? They are moving cautiously to commercialize their product, the start is near, end of story till news on sales comes through. |
