Regarding IDTC's ISP:

For those who haven't seen it I previously posted the following post:
www2.techstocks.com

Since then the DSL services have been announced for the ISP and IDT has introduced pre paid internet cards in over 100,000 locations. We should shortly be hearing from them on subscriber increase.

I am repeating this because it is important IMO to keep our eye on this ball. My dd continues to indicate that the company has big plans for the ISP and is positioning it accordingly.

The spanish portal, nuestravoz.com recently opened by IDT is a winner and I just heard is featured on the cover of this months intellicard magazine as the premier Spanish portal. Here is the web site for intellicard. Unfortunately they don't have the July issue up but will shortly: intelecard.com

Anyway, ISP's are integral to everything now. This is a valuable asset.I expect as shareholders we will shiortly reap a great benefit from it.

To give an idea. The ISP was what originally propelled the stock to $40 years ago when the company had practicly no income whatsoever and certainly no profits. Howard Jonas made the strategic decision at that time to hold off on building the customer base of the ISP until he could make the core business profitable. Shortly thereafter IDT was profitable but their Q reported shrinkage in the ISP customer base. Fronm that point forward the stock declined. I maintain that the minute the street sees what is happening here this stock will move and move big. All I know is that the company has suddenly begun heavy advertisinbg of the ISP (in oublications like the New York Times and USA Today) A call to their new customer sales department reveals that the staff is swamped with calls. Further they have rolled out true T1 type DSL and entered (or rather created) the pre paid market.

IMO, good times are coming here and soon.
