Log On America is a HOT IPO! Let's get back to the facts.
It is incredible how often times the majority of information on message boards have nothing to do with facts and often seem to be generated by disturbed individuals with "personal vendettas" they are taking care of. The best information I have found on this particular offering was from a users entry on the yahoo board. I have included a copy of some of this message below for the benefit of subscribers on this board. I was directed to this board by a latter entry on yahoo that said I could come here to get the "facts" Unfortunately, once here I found there were no facts but only foolishness. Please read on for information I consider valid in forming my opinion on what I consider to be a GREAT IPO.

This message is to all my investor friends out there in cyberspace. I feel it is important to write this message because I've noticed that these boards are great venues for people to talk about stocks and share knowledge. However, do your homework too. For these boards are all "hearsay." Base your decision on whether or not to buy on the proper mix of hearsay and facts. For more facts about LOAX "Log on America" I recommend that you visit the following websites:

When you get to these sites use the search key to look up "Log on America" These sites provide valuable facts about the company.
Here are some facts I've learned through my research:
Fact 1) The company is a strategic partner with Cisco Systems and Nortel. Also, LOA has Shastri Divakaruni and David Robert on its board of directors. Mr. Divakaruni workes at Cisco Systems as a Director of at least two key divisions, including Director of Service Provider Marketing and Director of Broadband Fixed Wireless Engineering. Mr. Robert has worked for Northern Telecom in various capacities, including Software Systems Engineer, Product Marketing Specialist, Sales Manager and, currently, VP of Sales for Nortel Major Accounts. (My opinion: The fact that LOA is a strategic partner with the two technology powerhouses shows that they are moving in the right direction, have access to cutting edge equipment and is poised to grow by leaps and bounds. Also, the fact that both Cisco Systems and Nortel have key management on LOA's Board of Directors shows their support and belief that LOA is the perfect company to be involved with. The fact that these companies are willing to invest their time, energy and key management in LOA, makes LOA a good investment to me.)
Fact 2)LOAX's vision appears to be to build a highly sophisticated network for phone, internet, video, audio, and cable TV programming throughout the North Eastern United States. They appear to be well on their way and with the funds received from the IPO and the backing of Cisco and Nortel this should progress rapidly. They already have been approved in RI as an authorized CLEC. For more info on these aspects see www.freeedgar.com. (My opinion... This is the right strategy and the right goals for this type of industry)

The fact is that this is an ISP / CLEC that is moving forward with some of this industries strongest leaders to deploy a state of the art network to provide voice, data,and internet communication along with cable programming. Log On America's existing structure only serves to act as foundation for what will emerge from this IPO and it's strategic relationships.
On a final note, just to clarify some of the ignorance being spread by jctech. From what I understand Log On America has more than 9 employees and is currently recruiting top talent that will lead to a large increase of their staff numbers. LOAX will come out on the NASDAQ national big board and with the infrastructure upgrades and partnership programs, just watch the revenue grow!
This is a company poised for extreme growth in an industry that is currently exploding. This is definitely a buy and a keep.
Best of luck, BIF99 |
