I will check on that now. What does everyone think of this post from yahoo? WOULD HATE TO BE SHORT! by: <Picture: Sorry, I'm not available> parigie 88021 of 88031I would be most nervous shorting this stock leading into the 3-day weekend. The roadshow will be in Europe tomorrow, the reason the show is in Europe: because the decision makers at the US Brokerage Houses will start leaving their offices tomorrow for a LONG weekend. The potential scenario is that NTOP/IDTC roadshow may gain a lot of interest from European Institutions.They can start purchasing IDTC stocks on Monday while our market is closed. Wake-up Tuesday morning and IDTC can find itself trading MUCH HIGHER than it closed on Friday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted: 07/01/1999 05:19 pm EDT as a reply to: Msg 88014 by marty_62

Steve, per your request, here is the skinny on the IPO release date: < So, can you verify IPO listing the week of the 12th?> The road show in on the road and currently running ahead of schedule. The team left for Europe today and will be meeting with European investors and bankers Sunday and Monday. This lends quite some credence to the earlier post from yahoo on this. The road show is scheduled to end on the 15th. of July. It could end sooner or later but will most likely end sooner. The IPO will be priced and sold on the 15th of July. Give or take a couple of days. That lends some credence to the website that published the 12th. of July. The fact is nobody knows for sure right now and the aforementioned is the best information available. Obviously So, it appears that this will be price as early as the 12th or as late as the 19th (due to the weekend, of July.

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.
