A paid Tout always makes the best liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Relationship with Investec Ernst:
Recent press releases from XDSL (Dated 6/15/99) state that an analyst at Investec Ernst, a broker-dealer owned by Investec, a South African banking firm, has initiated coverage on XDSL. This is not the case, as can be verified by speaking with the analyst in question, John Garritty, at 800-724-0761. The actual situation is that XDSL paid Investec Ernst to write a general overview of the company. The stock is not being "covered" by an analyst there, as Investec was paid specifically to write this report. Investec Ernst does not make a market in the stock. ============================================= Investec Ernst & Company Initiates Coverage of mPhase Technologies, Inc. PR Newswire - June 15, 1999 11:44
NORWALK, Conn., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- mPhase Technologies, Inc. announced today that Investec Ernst & Company, a New York based broker-dealer, has initiated coverage of their company.
Investec Ernst & Company technology analyst John J. Garrity initiated coverage of mPhase Technologies, Inc. citing the following:
"mPhase Technologies, Inc. is a communications equipment company whose products facilitate the convergence of Video, Voice, and Data services over the existing copper telephone wires through a dedicated bandwidth solution. Using its proprietary hardware, mPhase offers a specific type of DSL called Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL), allowing high-speed data transmission at speeds up to 6Mbps downstream and up to 1Mbps upstream, increasing throughput up to 200 times faster than an existing 28.8 Kpbs internet connection. mPhase's DSL technology is unique in that it enables simultaneous delivery of high-speed Internet access, digital video, and telephone communications over an existing telephone line on an unshared platform. Potential applications made possible by mPhase's products include video teleconferencing, remote education, tele-medicine, and e-commerce.
"Given mPhase's development stage status, an earnings model is inappropriate. The company is a pure technology play and can not be valued using traditional methods. As an alternative, we looked at the public market valuations of stand alone DSL companies. Comparable publicly traded providers of DSL technology have an average market capitalization of $206 million. Therefore, if mPhase were to be valued on a comparable basis, it would sell for $11," added Garrity.
