The bonds are redeemable by the company now, they don't need approval to do that. As far as your "other scenario's" yes, they are possible...however, imho unlikely and the comment about once IDT sell or spins or whatever it does with N2P it would then be worth $17, is to me an insult. I am confident that without N2P IDT, is still way undervalued because it would immediately be accretitive to earnings as there would no longer be a "drag" on earnings... furthermore. IDT has a Booming Bandwidth biz as well as a High Growth PP biz, not to mention whatever R+D is doing....

cheers

David,

<They can't just buy back bonds if holders don't agree. Someone on this board misstated that only 15% had to surrender. Their press release said "a majority". I think that was one more of your misstatements. >

Oh yes they can. They have the right to redeem.

David,

<And it's very possible they will find a private investor group for an outright sale. Of course that could be the best for IDTC, 'cause then they don't have the big cash drain of an unprofitable business. IDTC would then be worth $17 per share again. >

Anything is possible, but I seriously doubt if both H&Q and BT would have gone quiet and restricted access to idtc stock by employees, if that were the case.
