viel nachholbedarf bei den amis auf dem breitbandsektor

was meinste?

hjw, ich rate Dir zu gar nichts.
Ich stelle Shares vor, die mir auf Grund vom Chart, AdHocs und Quartalszahlen ins Auge springen, zu einer angesagten Peergroup oder zu den fastest growing companies gehören.
EGHT ist Docs Share, ich wollte ihn mal wieder animieren mehr zu schreiben.
Jeder kann dann was damit anfangen, falls er möchte.
EGHT ist für diese Woche nicht in meine Topauswahl gelangt, schon eher TYL an der NYSE oder VVN. Chart, Zahlen, 52 Wochen Alltime-High, kennst ja meine Philosophie.
Vielleicht nicht die ganz schnellen Prozente, aber fundamental genial.
Ich werde in Kürze ein US-Depot eröffnen, in dass Du gerne einzahlen darfst, um mit mir und anderen in den USA zu investieren.
Ich befürworte dann eine Mehrheitsentscheidung, welche Shares reinwandern. Viele meiner Favoriten haben sich fantastisch entwickelt, ist Dir ja nicht entgangen.
Dann schreibe ich gerne für unseren Investorenkreis und werde weiterhin für meine Shares werben. Nur in diesem Zusammenhang werde ich einen Kauf von EGHT diskutieren.
Es wird ne interessante Runde zusammenkommen hoffe ich, mit viel Gehirnschmalz und einem guten Händchen.

So, die Frühstückskolumne ist geschrieben, ich leg mich jetzt aufs Ohr.

Wo steckt der Kerl?

heute:More Internet phone service providers are offering free, unlimited dialing as a way to lure paid subscribers for other services.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider 8x8 now lets anyone dial an 8x8 subscriber at no charge, but only if they buy a $75 phone converter from the company. It's a new version of its "Freedom Plus" plan, which usually costs $6 a month, company representatives said Friday.

The new diagnostic features will also improve the ease with which a subscriber
can install Packet8. New support and diagnostic features include voice prompt
support, missing IP address indicator, network problem indicator and improved
facility for downloading new firmware to the Packet8 DTA, including an

sind ja noch mal 30% dazu gekommen in der zweiten Halbzeit von Stuttgart. Der Dank gehört Doc B., ohne ihn wer ich nicht drauf gekommen.

Tschüss für heute.

8X8 (EGHT: news, chart, profile) shares gained almost 80 percent in the regular session after a favorable write-up in Forbes magazine. The article quotes Tobin Smith, the editor of ChangeWave.com, as saying 8X8's voice over Web telephony product is better than that of competitor Vonnage, and that the stock could reach $10 to $12 in the next six months.

8X8 shares, which added 78.8 percent to close at $6.76, ticked up to $6.93 after the bell and topped the most-active list on Inet ECN.
Also moving after the bell were shares of sector peers VocalTec (VOCL: news, chart, profile), which gained 4.7 percent to $4.70

Junge,Junge alle Achtung!

:42AM 8x8 profiled negatively in NY Post (EGHT) 7.52: NY Post article takes a shot at highflier 8x8, which is up 4300% this year. Article says "voice over broadband"  isn't a business any more than "faxing" is a business. It's just an activity that can take  place over an existing communications network. In fact, if any money at all can be made, the cable cos that already operate the networks are in the best position to try; they at least already know who their customers actually are, and how to reach them most effectively and inexpensively. If residential subscribers begin migrating to  cable-based telephone services, the phone cos will simply keep cutting prices. In a  race to the bottom, 8x8 cannot win.

                                       News), and Amazon.com
                                       (Nasdaq: AMZN - News) -- trade
                                       a fraction of their float on days
                                       when there's little or no corporate
                                       news to report. And yet here's
                                       little 8x8, an unprofitable high-tech
                                       communications provider that
                                       sells IP telephony gear, voice and
                                       video semiconductors and
                                       software, and Internet PBX
software, running with the big boys for days on no company-specific news of any
kind. Not only that, but its shares have performed amazingly over the last 12
months as the stock has broken out of penny-stock land.

Certainly the financial picture at 8x8 isn't pretty at the moment. It's losing money
and leaking cash -- though it recently raised more than $7 million, not an
immaterial amount to 8x8, according to November press releases. Sales are
falling. The company's sector, meanwhile, seems to have caught somebody's
fancy.

Many telecoms have offered IP-based telephony to corporate customers for
some time, and with some difficulty. Such systems offer benefits over traditional
systems using regular phone lines but can be more expensive and often require
long and involved sales cycles in order to convince clients of the long-term
financial benefits of "convergence." 8x8 is a "pure-play" in a business that, given
proper funding and time, could grow significantly. It will be interesting to watch
the discussions taking place in the halls of the Federal Communications
Commission. How such businesses are eventually regulated could have huge
impacts on their ability to prosper.

Investors have taken fliers on speculative stocks -- and I'd call any money-losing
company with a clear need for outside funding "speculative." There's nothing
wrong with trying to get in early. Some people appear to believe 8x8 has one of
the leading technologies available. The key for investors here is to manage the
risk alongside the expected reward. No doubt many of the investors who own
shares of 8x8 are doing just that.

But those who are flying in and out of the shares -- and for a company as small
as 8x8 to generate the volume numbers it has, you can be certain people are --
in the hopes of snagging a few points are engaging in little more than
guesswork. It's hard to imagine a situation in which a day trader really knows
what he or she is doing beyond "hoping for the best." Fools, luckily, aren't
attracted to such situations.

Time Warner Cable, the second-largest cable company in the country, with 11 million subscribers, entered the phone market last May with service in Portland, Me., signing up 8,000 subscribers, who pay $39.95 to $49.95 for unlimited local and domestic long-distance calling.

"Our plan, by the end of next year, is to be in most, if not all, of our markets," said Glenn Britt, chief executive of Time Warner Cable, a division of Time Warner.

The move comes as Time Warner has sought to shed huge amounts of debt and mine new sources of revenue. The development of a telephone service could be particularly significant because the cable division already is Time Warner's "biggest profit center," said Dennis Leibowitz, a general partner at Act II Partners, a media and telecommunications hedge fund based in New York. "It's the growth element" of Time Warner, he said.

Mr. Britt said the Internet technology made possible the rapid roll-out of the service and was less expensive than the more conventional cable-phone technology, called circuit switch technology. Industry analysts said those cost savings could be passed on to consumers in the form of lower phone bills.

Under the deal announced yesterday, Time Warner Cable will pay Sprint and MCI to carry the telephone traffic from its cable network across a larger telephone network, and deliver the calls to the receiving numbers. The companies did not disclose terms of the deal.

Earlier efforts by cable companies to deploy telephone service over cable lines had mixed results. AT&T Cable Systems, for example, generated interest in cable phone service in the late 1990's, but the company was acquired last year by Comcast, the nation's largest cable company. At that time, Comcast said it would not expand that business but would focus on making sure it was profitable.

Comcast has said it is taking a cautious approach to the new technology, noting that despite its promise, Internet telephony is in its early stages. "We want to work the kinks out, then take it larger," said Sam Chernak, a vice president at Comcast.

Cablevision, the sixth-largest cable company, began offering Internet telephone services in late September, and by mid-November, it was available to more than four million homes in Connecticut, New York and parts of New Jersey.

Cablevision offers its service only to its high-speed Internet customers, charging them an additional $34.95 a month for unlimited calling in the United States and Canada. Analysts said they were impressed with the company's first marketing push.

Mr. Leibowitz said the cable industry's move into phone service had long been anticipated. "The idea of rebuilding the cable world was to offer voice, data and telephony — and telephony has been the missing piece," he said. "For economic and competitive reasons, they are now ready" to offer it.

But only recently has Internet technology become refined enough that the cable companies felt they could offer reception quality comparable to that offered by traditional telephone companies. The cable companies say they have turned the corner, and they intend to prove it in the coming months.

Cox Digital Telephone, a division of Cox Communications, plans to begin its first test of Internet-based phone service in Roanoke, Va., in the next few weeks. That rollout is viewed as significant because the Atlanta-based cable company is considered a leader in pushing the boundaries of the cable business. Cox already sells phone services to around a million customers using the older circuit switch technology. What Cox's experience shows is that a cable provider can successfully take on traditional telephone companies. In Omaha, 45 percent of Cox's cable customers now subscribe to its telephone service, and in Orange County, Calif., that figure is 55 percent.

This summer, the Yankee Group, a market research group, projected that the number of customers using voice-over-Internet-protocol telephone service would be around 220,000 by the end of 2004. But Lindsay Schroth, an analyst with the group, said that the number could well double, in light of the aggressive moves by the cable companies.

"Every year they told us, `next year is the year.' It was all a pipe dream for a while," she said. "But it has really shocked me the developments we've had in the last four months."

The development also comes amid an increasingly chaotic and competitive landscape for traditional phone companies. Mobile phone providers are offering consumers an alternative to land-line phones. Wireless operators and start-up technology companies are also developing new ways to transmit data and voice traffic, cutting phone lines out of the picture.

But phone companies are not sitting idly by as their turf comes under attack. In fact, they have been more aggressive in defending their share of the high-speed Internet market, where the cable companies took an early lead.

And the phone companies say they are prepared to offer Internet-based phone service, if that is what customers demand. Eric Rabe, a spokesman for Verizon, said that cable companies were entering a highly competitive voice market.

"If they want to jump in, they'll be the 840th and 841st competitors," he said, adding that the cable companies will be focusing on their existing customer base, "which means, at this point, it is very small for them."

Mr. Britt of Time Warner also expressed caution about how quickly the cable companies could challenge phone companies that have the overwhelming share of the local telephone market. "They are very large and they are good competitors," he said. "They're going to be around for a long time."

But as Mr. Leibowitz of Act II Partners noted, the cable companies really have no choice but to get into the voice market, because phone companies are pushing into the data and video markets.

"They realize they need to do it now, and they need to do it quickly," he said, and to compete, major telecommunications competitors "are ultimately going to have to be in every business, everywhere — including mobile."

Bist du da auch schon drin? Würde mit SB 6.4o einsteigen, was hältst davon? SL dann bei 6.oo oder 1,2 Cent tiefer. Wäre doch ein gutes Chancen/Risiko-Verhältnis.
