A COMPANY WE MAY HAVE MISSED: New internet product, SF trade show just completed, 3.5 mil float, 30 of last 34 trades are buys. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerging Company Report, the nationally syndicated television program which profiles emerging-growth companies (http://www.emergingcompany.com), features an interview this week with : Phon-Net Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PNET) CEO Brian Collins announced a $50 million contract with Adatom, Inc. for national distribution of the Phon-Net Direct Connection Network. FROM OTHER PR'S: Direct Connect [PNET's product] has just "humanized" the Internet. Direct Connect software could benefit every business Web site. When a potential customer visits a Web site and would like additional information before purchasing, or would like to make their purchase via the phone, all that is needed is to press the Direct Connect button on the Web site. Within seconds, the caller and Web site owner are conducting business. Upon completion of the conversation, the Direct Connect software automatically returns the caller to the Internet. This enables customers limited to only one in-home phone line (80 percent of Internet users) to bypass the now unnecessary chore of disconnecting from the Internet, calling the Web site business, then redialing back onto the Internet. To purchase this product, Phon-Net's Direct Connect, visit BCD Online's Web site at www.bcdonline.com or call 800/493-5843. BCD Online can provide every company's Web site with a turnkey operation of Phon-Net's Direct Connect for a nominal set-up fee. OTHER COMMENTS (from the PNET thread): "Trade show in San Francisco just ended. PNET was there. Huge interest in the Phon-Net direct system. The latest new version was was unveiled to the public.....lots of enthusiasm. Many new customers on board and lots of interest in distribution. I'm getting exited..." "people are realizing this is a steal. from what i gathered, they are positioning themselves to become a big player with this technology. i bought today and will buy tomorrow. the volume is dictating something is about to happen." Level 2 shows 30 out of the last 34 trades are buys from late yesterday through today so far.
