HOTHOTHOT.....Wi-Lan Stock Surges 18 Percent on Bullish Report
TORONTO (Reuters) - Shares of Canadian tech start-up Wi-Lan Inc. (Toronto:WIN.TO - news) surged more than 18 percent on Monday on a bullish analyst's report.

They were also helped higher in a delayed reaction to Microsoft Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) endorsement of the type of high-speed wireless standard being developed by the company. Wi-Lan holds patents on W-OFDM (wideband orthogonal frequency division) high-speed wireless transmission.

Its shares closed up C$13.05 at C$85.00 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday.

On Friday, CIBC World Markets initiated research coverage on Wi-Lan with a bullish 12-month target price of C$200 a share.

CIBC's Todd Coupland said in the report that he expects Wi-Lan to increase revenue to C$21 million in 2000 and $80 million in 2001, up from $5.9 million of product sales in 1999.

The report followed on news last Tuesday that Microsoft had endorsed the creation of an OFDM standard after a meeting of officials from Wi-Lan, Nokia Corp., L.M. Ericsson Telephone Co. Inc., Philips Electronics NV, Sony Corp. and a host of other technology companies led to an agreement to create an OFDM forum to support that standard.
