Call the company and ask them exactly when. See if they will tell you. You're asking the million dollar question here, if the public knew exactly when news was going to be released the SEC would be hounding us. Besides, Jimmy has made a conscious effort to reward the really longs in DGIV. He has purposely discouraged daytraders by "springing" news. Remember that after 6 weeks of silence he sprung one when the clock struck midnight, on Saturday, August 8th. What we can use however, is deductive reasoning. Here's an example: In the August 8th PR and the recent newsletter, there was mention of five cities in five separate countries. I quote: "== Lighting Up the Network == Digitcom announced today the scheduled installation of our "IntraVoice CO" gateway points-of-presence in five Pacific Rim countries. These network nodes will come online along with our Los Angeles termination point from late August through the month of September. These scheduled installations will be fully tested using a 56Kbps switch-to-switch data line provided by Commsource International, Los Angeles, with our commercial service launch to follow immediately upon completion of testing on a dedicated T1 circuit. Each country will have the capability to be served by "Intranet" leased lines of up to 1.5Mbps of bandwidth of voice using Digitcom's compression through digital fiber ocean cables. The U.S. termination gateway will be on a Northern Telecom DSM-250 phone switch. The first [mega] cities to be served on the Digitcom Network will be Seoul Korea, Tokyo Japan, Taipei Taiwan, Jakarta Indonesia, and Sydney Australia. " Back to the reasoning: We know that three of these countries have never been mentioned in the context of DGIV before. We can also assume that contracts of some sort are a must before any installation procedures commence. Therefore, we can deduce that some contracts that have been signed haven't been expanded upon in a public manner. So then the question arises, when are they going to release news about these new contracts and their implications? I don't when, and neither should you. BTW, you can take this logic further. The next question is "'Exactly' how many new contracts do they have now that it's been eight weeks since the last time they explicitly announced one?" Again I don't know 'exactly'. I know three new contracts is at least a given, cause I just proved it. Anything more is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
