Well I hope there's news coming. I just think the movement is due to the fact that it's dawning on people that the day of "Click and Call" is coming, where every Business with a website will want this feature. As said on the E-button site: "Your company's web site is a great way to communicate with your customers. But what if those customers could simply click on an icon and establish a live voice connection with your company over the Internet? " THIS WILL become common place but ACCR is not the only company involved by no means. But they have a bit of a jump with this e-button and were awarded "Best buy" by smart money.(Or was it "smart money" by "Best buy". ATT ofcourse has and is developing an internet telephony program but are stuck in a bit of a "Catch 22" . Internet telephony is already stealing millions of dollars of revenue from ATT's long distance business. Though they have to develop it, they realize they're also developing a technology that will almost totally cripple one of their conventional ways of making money-long distance. Telephony will also replace a lot of 1-800 revenue. The other catch is that any hardware improvements ATT makes are improvements for other internet telephony companies as well. A lot of what telephony is about is software as well, which ATT doesn't have much control over. So as you can see these telephony companies (especially ACCR) are well positioned. This run up may be fleeting but I would just relax and hold on. Lots of VC money here apparently too.
