Okay SMK: please translate that PR into what you believe it to mean in operations: sales, revenues, costs, and PROFIT. And please not some ballyhoo about $600 billions. I mean for Zitel with around 100+ employees. From my view, assuming, and that is a big assumption Zitel's employees have rev/employee like Microsoft of $600K with a 40% margin, then with 122 employees that would translate to something like $73M in sales and $30M in profits. ZITL revenues are closer to $20M with negative margins, a dismal situation perpetuated by Zitel management that has a demonstrated penchant for destroying shareholder value and borrowing to accelerate that effect. So please, put some useful tooth into your PR. Run some credible numbers. Forget the hype, not even with tact does it imply anything useful for ZITL.
Regards,
