mPhase CEO Reports Progress with New Services and Deployments Monday January 31, 1:02 pm ET NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2005--mPhase Technologies (OTC: XDSL - News) CEO, Ron Durando reported progress to shareholders in all three areas of the business in an electronic newsletter to current and potential investors. Highlights of the report included: A newly announced As You Like It (TM) Service Creation Platform is Fueling Industry Buzz. In the past few weeks, we announced strategic alliances with several partners, each of whom is enabling us to enhance the mPhase TV+ System's value for telephone network operators worldwide. Following our agreement to offer our customers an integrated video head-end from market leader Sky Stream Networks, we're now adding other key elements for a comprehensive end-to-end solution for telco TV. Specifically: * mPhase announced carrier-class network security features with the Security+ Feature Package, enabled with an integration of technology from Ranch Networks, a leader in the field of Internet Protocol-based network security. * We added Triveni Digital as a reseller partner, so that with the As You Like It solution, our telephone company customers can quickly modify, update, customize, and target programming and program-related information to specific subscribers. By increasing the value of this information, telcos can differentiate their services offerings from cable and satellite companies. * Targeted content programs can open new opportunities for telcos to sell advertising to defined audience segments and we're now able to enhance this competitive advantage of the mPhase TV+ System through a strategic alliance with Espial Group, the leading provider of rapidly customizable software for the user interface. As the Telco TV picture puzzle is completed, customer interactions are increasing in pace. With channel partners like Lucent Technologies, we are now able to showcase the capabilities of the newest-generation mPhase TV+ System through a compelling demonstration model, and it has been shared with a number of European operators. We are deploying our system right now: * Lucent Russia has selected the TV+ System to offer video and data services to a telecom services company for its Far East Region customers. The customer is one of seven regional mega-telecommunications operators in Russia owned by a single holding company serving 15 million residential customers. The initial pilot project completed through the Lucent sales channel is for 1,000 subscribers. We will be showcasing our solution with Lucent Russia at the Norwecom trade show in St. Petersburg, Feb. 22-26, 2005. * We reached agreement with Turkey's foremost broadcaster, Kanal 7, for mPhase to provide the equipment and technical video expertise for the deployment of a TV-over-telephone network over the facilities of Turk Telecom, the soon-to-be privatized Turkish telecommunications company. Kanal 7 will organize and aggregate the content and manage the marketing of the services. Finally, we witnessed an independent validation that the Telco TV market is poised for growth. Industry analyst firm ABI Research issued an upbeat assessment for players such as XDSL in its study, "TelcoTV Infrastructure & Service Integrator Opportunities abiresearch.com; Sales Validate mPhase's Network Quality Assurance Expertise. With top-notch operators in key growth markets increasingly leaning on XDSL to ensure that their high-speed broadband network can sustain the quality as the mix of "triple-play" traffic -- meaning voice, data and video -- grows incrementally. * We recorded a $1 million initial order from Saudi Arabia Telecom for our state-of-the-art Broadband Loop Watch(TM) System for automated system maintenance. * EasyNet, a leading pan-European broadband networking company selected mPhase's core Intelligent POTS Splitter Solution (iPOTS1) for deployment. iPOTS1 provides the critical access that broadband network operators need to automatically test and maintain network quality. Seeing is Believing -- Nanograss is almost invisible, but now you can see our nanobattery work for yourself. It's on the record. We've worked with two news outlets to put our proof of concept showing the nanobattery working on videotape. Two production companies, ScienCentral and MAX World News released video news items last week. The ScienCentral news clip will be aired on ABC TV affiliates nationwide and is also available on its web site sciencentral.com. MAX World News distributed its clip via satellite to science and technology editors at more than 500 local news stations. maxworldnews.com About mPhase Technologies mPhase Technologies Inc.

Is mPhase Smokin' Nanograss? fool.com By Carl Wherrett & John Yelovich January 31, 2005 One of the unique features that we have begun to offer in our Rule Breakers service is that the RB analysts will be "in the office" to interact live with our members. In other words, you can communicate and receive an immediate response from the analyst "in the office" that day. On our nano day at the office last Wednesday, we were engaged by RB member Jsergeant, who had seen a recent news article on mPhase Technologies (Nasdaq: XDSL) and its signing of a marketing agreement for a nano-battery developed with its longstanding partner, Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU). mPhase's share price had shot up 27% on the news, reaching the heady heights of $0.51. We do not normally take opinions on penny stocks, but it was the volume that piqued our interest -- over 10 times normal volume. So is there any fire behind all that smoke? After all, Lucent is no fly-by-night partner; the company is home to Bell Labs, which is still world renowned for its technical innovation, despite not covering itself in glory in more recent years. What about the grass? The nano-battery is built around a framework that mPhase calls nanograss. But a closer inspection of the technology shows it is micro, not nano. The dimensions are a whopping 270 nanometers, far in excess of what is fast becoming the de facto standard for nano-scale, i.e., below 100nm. However, that has not stopped the CEO of mPhase from trotting out the "nano" tag with alarming regularity. Nor has it stopped two separate video presentations on the product made by video news services from being sent around the TV news media. mPhase issued a press release touting the video news releases and saying they "will be aired on ABC TV affiliates nationwide." These kinds of releases are in fact the video equivalent of press releases -- they are fed to TV stations, but it is entirely up to the stations to decide whether or not to run them. Most never see the light of day. That's how penny stocks suddenly get 10 times normal trading volume -- and why we will not consider companies with stocks trading below $5 as a normal investment, much less as a potential Rule Breaker. The nano-battery may have a commercial life -- time will tell -- but until mPhase reaches a degree of market respectability, it is not a Foolish commercial investment. Indeed, Lucent may be the better play of the two. It needs to get some future tech winners in its portfolio of products and it would be fairly easy and "cheap" for it to absorb the nano-battery into its range if it finds commercial traction. mPhase forecasts commercial launch in 12 to 15 months. Founded in 1996, mPhase calls itself a development-stage company with a primary business of developing products to deliver digital broadcasts over DSL. Last year, the company posted an $8 million loss on $4 million revenues. That's why even with a 30% daily pop in its price, it is still a penny stock. Share your views with Carl (TMFBreakerCarl) and John (TMFBreakerJohn) on the Nanotechnology discussion board. Carl Wherrett and John Yelovich own none of the stocks mentioned.

mPhase Technologies - Penny Pumping? caps.fool.com December 08, 2008 I normally don't go after penny stocks since I've been burned in the past. But, I recently stumbled upon a company who has some interesting technology. The company is mPhase Technologies. MPhase is a publicly traded company on the OTCBB under ticker symbol XDSL. Their technology brings nanotechnology to batteries: "Using a breakthrough in nanotechnology and microfluidics, we have developed a unique battery architecture that takes advantage of the characteristics of liquids to be super-hydrophobic on a nano-textured surface. This allows an electrolyte to stay suspended away from the electrode until power is needed, allowing an almost infinite shelf life." The company recently pre-announced a partnership which will provide a distribution channel for their AlwaysReady Emergency Flashlight. The fact that they pre-announced the partnership seems interesting to me, considering it was mPhase that announced the news. Is this a classic example of pump and dump? The mPhase CEO has a less than perfect track record. A simple Google search on the CEO Ronald Durando will return some red flags. I will invest in anyone who can help my iPhone's battery last more than a few hours. But, giving my money to a man who's been under litigation for for pumping and dumping penny stocks in the past... I'm very cautious, yet very daring!
