I think you hit one of the nails on the head Marty. Not only does internet Telephony have a limited following, but Joe investor probably has no idea what IDTC is or does...especially without NTOP. sf

I suggest you guys take a look at ZD after it did the ZDZ IPO. Both are down after the IPO. The difference between ZD and IDT is that ZDZ is a tracking stock. As such ZDZ could not break loose from ZD and they are both down. Softbank is now considering selling off ZD and keeping ZDZ where valuations are higher. Sell-off of the parent company after an IPO appears to be the rule rather than the exception. The good news, N2P is not a tracking stock and thus could use its rapid growth rate to capture some of that internet valuation.
