This portion of the MPTV statement is interesting.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

"....the current low per share market price of
our common stock has had a negative effect on the marketability of the existing
shares, the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by our individual
stockholders and our potential ability to raise capital by issuing additional
shares.
Reasons for these effects include internal policies of certain
institutional investors which prevent the purchase of low-priced stocks, the
fact that many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as
collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin and a variety of
brokerage house policies which tend to discourage individual brokers within
those firms from dealing in low-priced stocks.

In addition, since broker's commissions on low-priced stocks generally
represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher
priced stocks, the current per share price of our common stock can result in
stockholders paying transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their
total share value than would be the case if our share price were
substantially higher. Our Board of Directors believes that this factor limits
the willingness of certain institutional investors to purchase our common stock.

Our Board of Directors believes that an increase in the
price per share of our common stock will have a positive
effect on the marketability of the existing shares and
will enhance our flexibility in future financing
and capitalization needs.


One major difference betw. MPTV's R/s and tsig's
proposed "restructuring" is that MPTV's r/s is being
done to enhance the possibility to obtain additional
financing while tsig's 'restructuring" is being done
as a condition for substantial new financing already
in place.

Since reduction of share amount is a prerequisite
for additional money up to the $40 mil amount, allotments
drawn from this credit that add to significant new dilution would IMO contradict the intent and premise
of the agreement and prevent additional amounts being
withdrawn to the extended limit. Thus IMO this precludes another floorless covertible vehicle.

Without a reduction of shares, an increase in the authorized
would have to occur to get financing, but this
would have a more detrimental impact on share price for
both emotional and fundamental reasons including those
cited by MPTV's directors.

Consequently splits primarily effect the short term
psychology for or against but don't reflect what is
occurring with the company.

From all practical perspectives, tsig's circumstances haven't changed at all since the latest release. Tsig
b-model is the same. All signals have been that the
model has demonstrated its viability to Coca Cola, UCP
and more B2B partners to come. The new $40 mil agreement
will expeditie expansion which should ensure a greater
market share for more goods offered and more marketing information gathered.

Only short term traders and other momo players concern
themselves with the "code" language of the market place
to determine their next reaction.

Tsig future seems even more assured with such a
large amount of credit extended.
