Steven... >>The analysis, carried out by Matridgm in the US, was based on a number of US and UK clients across a range of market sectors<< In the Logica report, it mentions that Matridgm did the study. Now they would not be biased would they. Give me a break! I really messed up on this stock in that I covered at 3 and change and did not take Michael's advice of never covering. Nonetheless, it was and I expect will always be my best short.

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, m
