'Pacific Internet is a leader in customer service and is a very worthy winner of these awards. The company's achievements in service excellence have shown a true commitment to putting the customer first in today's competitive business climate,' said Whitford.

The criteria for the Australian Service Excellence Awards are based on the International Customer Service Standard (ICSS), a global benchmark for service excellence. In 2003, Pacific Internet Australia was the first Internet communications service provider to achieve this accreditation.

CSIA's state and national Australian Service Excellence Awards showcase organizations across Australia that achieved excellence in service. The state judging process involved a written submission, a site visit, a presentation to a panel of judges and mystery shopping. State winners then qualified for the national awards and were judged by CSIA's national judging committee.

Hallo!
Kannst du uns bitte den letzten Thret uebersestzen:
Danke Olda

Den Preis nun schon zum zweiten mal in Serie gewonnen. Könnte helfen PCNTF noch populärer zu machen und somit die Umsätze in Australien weiter auszubauen.

@olda: brauchst dir eigentlich nur den ersten Absatz durchlesen - da steht eigentlich alles drin was du wissen willt. (Falls du nicht englisch kannst, extra für dich kurz zusammengefasst: Die haben zum zweiten mal in Folge den "Australian Service Excellence Award" in der Kategorie "National Medium Business" gewonnen.

Man dankt fuer kurzen Komentar

Gruss Olda

wieder mal etwas genauer angeseh´n. Die 7 USD müßten wir unbedingt überwinden, damit es weiter bergauf geh´n kann (dann wäre erstmal Platz bis ca. 9 USD). Leider ist uns der Ausbruch aus dem fallenden Dreieck bis jetzt noch nicht gelungen. Es ist sehr schön zu erkennen, daß der Kurs beim 50% Retrace + oberer Abwärtstrendlinie wieder nach unten abgeprallt ist.

Positiv: Wir könnten uns jedoch im Bereich von USD 5,90 einen erneuter Anstieg freu´n- Aussschlaggebend sollte hier die 50 SMA sowie das 38 Retrace sein.

Es kann natürlich auch alles ander kommen.

@Olda: mach ich doch gern.

Na das lässt sich doch mal gut an heute in amiland (+9%), evtl packen wir deine 7 USD schon in den nächsten Tagen, aber die Richtung ist weiterhin intakt.

Pacific Internet Connects 46 Stores for Fantastic Furniture Across Australia

Pacific Internet Limited (NASDAQ: PCNTF) today announced that its fully owned subsidiary in Australia, Pacific Internet (Australia) Pty Limited, has won a tender to connect 46 Fantastic Furniture (ASX: Fantastic Holdings Limited) stores to a secure broadband private network. Pacific Internet was selected by Fantastic Furniture because of its substantial retail experience and ability to deliver a solution and post-implementation service.

"We were impressed with Pacific Internet's experience in the retail industry combined with their ability to tailor a connectivity solution that met all our needs. Their detailed project implementation process ensured all stores were connected without hassles, and on time," said Peter Vernon, IT Manager, Fantastic Furniture.

"With our new broadband private network that connects 46 stores in different states across Australia, we can now supply remote IT support and also access stores' stock and accounting systems from head office in Chester Hill, Sydney. We also plan to introduce a centralized email system and an intranet for increased store and head office productivity.”

"A major benefit of the solution is Pacific Internet's Quality of Service (QoS) that ensures all of these latency sensitive applications receive traffic prioritization," said Vernon.

Dennis Muscat, Managing Director, Pacific Internet (Australia), said, "Retail is one of our areas of expertise, and we find that Australian chains are quickly recognizing the huge efficiency and communication benefits associated with linking up multiple locations to a secure private network."

Security was also a concern for Fantastic Furniture and Pacific Internet now provides a centrally located and managed Cisco firewall that scans data before being fed into the Fantastic Furniture network.

"Pacific Internet's managed firewall detects malicious intrusions and viruses at a network level before it can even reach our stores. We feel comfortable knowing that our customer and business information is protected," said Vernon.

Vernon said their new Pacific Internet broadband private network will assist in the improvement of information transfer between the group's divisions.

"Broadband is a key aspect to businesses working smarter and when compared to standard DSL, Optus' premium network offers significant performance advantages," he said.

Note:

- All numbers rounded to the nearest 10.
- Total subscriber reduction was due to consumer subscriber decline. Corporate subscriber base continues to grow in line with the Group’s focus in the corporate business segment

Revenues
Revenue in the second quarter increased 3.4% to US$25.2 million quarter-on-quarter. It was level compared to the same quarter last year.

The Group continued to register growth as it shifts its focus towards the corporate business segment. Corporate business registered revenue of US$16.4 million, a 7.0% improvement quarter-on-quarter and 10.4% growth year-on-year. The Group is targeting for the higher-margin corporate business to outpace lowering contributions from the volume-based consumer segment.

From a product line perspective, broadband revenue grew 6.0% year-on-year to US$12.5 million. The increase was driven by the corporate broadband business which grew 17.5% year-on-year and contributed 68.9% of total broadband revenue. Corporate broadband growth was primarily from the small-and-medium sized business (SMBs) segment. SMBs are using more corporate broadband services in view of higher bandwidth and competitive pricing compared to other corporate connectivity offerings such as lower-end leased lines.

Along with the migration trend from lower-end leased line to corporate broadband, general pricing for leased lines have become more competitive. Leased lines revenue in the second quarter grew 2.7% to US$3.2 million year-on-year.

Value Added Services (VAS) sales continued to strengthen in the second quarter, posting a 14.8% growth year-on-year. In line with the focus in the corporate business segment, 86.8% of total VAS revenue was from corporate businesses. Corporate VAS grew by 19.5% year-on-year.


Net Income
Second quarter net income was US$1.6 million (or 12 cents per diluted share). This was an 8.1% growth year-on-year and a 48.5% growth quarter-on-quarter.

The higher net income was mainly due to stronger corporate business growth and lower operating expenses.


Operating Costs and Expenses
Gross margin was maintained at over 54% as the Group continues to effectively manage its telecommunications cost of sales.

There was no change in staff costs. Sales and marketing expenses were lower by 13.6%, which is in line with the Group’s corporate business-skewed customer mix. Other general-and-administrative expenses increased by 5.6% year-on-year primarily due to consultancy fees relating to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and business development.



Cash Flow and Cash Balance
In the second quarter, the Group recorded a net cash deficit of about US$0.6 million. Although the Group generated cash of US$1.6 million from operating activities for the quarter, US$2.2 million was used on investing activities, mainly on acquisition of the wireless spectrum license in Singapore and fixed assets. Another US$0.1 million was used in financing activities primarily for repayment of capital leases in this quarter. As of June 30, 2005, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of US$36.7 million compared to US$31.3 million a year ago.



Additional Business Highlights

Securing of wireless spectrum rights from the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) to deploy wireless broadband and fixed wireless services in Singapore.
Collaboration with Sun Microsystems and the IDA to launch a groundbreaking games market access program, “Games MAP”, to international content providers seeking to deliver gaming content in Asia.
Partnership with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing to offer broadband services to the healthcare community as part of the country’s Broadband for Health Program.
Awarded the Australian Service Excellence Award in the category of ‘National Medium Business’ for the second consecutive year. The award is Australia’s highest recognition for customer service presented by the Customer Service Institute of Australia (CSIA).
Launch of a wireless hotspot service across Hong Kong for mobile workers and travelers.

Cisco® Australia and New Zealand managing director Ross Fowler said, ''Pacific Internet is the first ISP we've teamed up with to deliver a fully managed security and connectivity bundle at this price point. We're excited about the impact this solution will make in the SMB space, which has been an area of focus for Cisco Australia for some time now. The outstanding benefit of this solution and the reason we believe it will be so successful is that previously, this level of service was only available to enterprises.''

Said Muscat, ''The Cisco-based PacNet Secure Site allows SMBs to deploy a complete and simple package delivering network security, future proofing and business grade connectivity. The integrated services router-based solution also gives Pacific Internet customers the flexibility to grow their network, enabling them to roll out services such as VoIP and highly secure wireless access.''

Pacific Internet will offer Cisco 800 and 1800 series integrated services routers as customer premise devices, providing a range of security services which reduce the amount of work and maintenance customers have to perform. The integrated services router security services include enterprise grade stateful inspection firewalling and an inline intrusion protection system with dynamic signature updates to help ensure that customer networks are protected from the latest known malicious attacks.

PacNet SecureSite will constantly monitor and manage customer's networks. For setup and ongoing network management, customers receive pre-configured Cisco integrated services routers and can contact the Pacific Internet's technical team to change their router configurations. In the event of a network outage or security breach, the solution's round-the-clock monitoring means that clients can be notified via e-mail and SMS. Furthermore, with built-in failover customers can be automatically cut over to a dial-up connection, reducing network downtime. Additionally, by deploying PacNet SecureSite, businesses will benefit from Pacific Internet's ongoing updates and reviews of security measures.

Pacific Internet undertook six months of intensive trials and testing to develop this solution for its business customer base.

The two companies have built a strong relationship over the past two years. Pacific Internet supplies Cisco with a teleworking solution that connects 125 of Cisco employees on high-speed and high-data Pacific Internet broadband plans. Moreover, Pacific Internet is one of the few ISPs that is certified under the Cisco Partner Program, with several employees who are Cisco certified.

Ein Auszug aus dem yahoo-board:

Current Vector Vest Rating:
Business: PACIFIC INTERNET LTD, (PCNTF) provides Internet access as well as Web hosting, Web design and consultancy for both consumers and corporate users, mainly in the Asia Pacific market. The company also offers e-mail paging and other value-added services.

Price: PCNTF closed on 8/12/2005 at $6.12 per share

Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth.  PCNTF has a current Value of $10.17 per share. Therefore, it is undervalued compared to its Price of $6.12 per share.  Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. PCNTF has an RV of 1.40, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
