Eagle
Ventures Ready To Land In The U.S.... |
|
|
...and
hit the ground running. When we introduced Eagle Ventures Inc. (EGVI.PK)
back
on December
13th, the path they were on was pretty clear. Since then, they've announced
they're about to take another leap down that path. Per today's press
release (below), Eagle's wholly-owned subsidiary TelExtreme will be up
and running in the United States by the end of January.
The Micro Cap
Press research staff anticipates that TelExtreme's distribution/marketing
strategy could be well received by U.S. VoIP telephony consumers. In turn,
the penetration into the new geographical market should be a big
step in the company's projected 2008 revenue increase of at least 50%.
Just as a quick
reminder, Eagle Ventures - through TelExtreme - offers Voice-over-Internet
Protocol services, or VoIP. That's just the technical way of describing
the use of the Internet to make telephone calls. The technology isn't
brand new, though the industry is still in its infancy...in the U.S as
well as abroad. We believe there's where the opportunity lies for any
newcomer - the anticipated growth in the size of the VoIP market.
TelExtreme differentiates
itself with a promotional methodology that is not only unlike most of its
competition, but has also proven very effective in overseas markets.
Rather than
undergo a massive national advertising campaign, TelExtreme's services
are sold through affiliates....individuals - who are also usually customers
- personally present TelExtreme's features directly to other individuals.
Even with generous payouts to individual affiliates, TelExtreme's per-customer
acquisition cost is about 1/3 that of their competition's cost (approximately
$120 per customer versus $400 per customer for other telecom services).
More importantly,
the affiliate network strategy seems to work. Though only formed in 2004,
in 2006 TelExtreme generated $30.1 million in sales in a handful of foreign
markets. That number is expected to be more than $40 million for 2007.
As they stated in today's news release, the company is looking for revenues
of more than $60 million in 2008.
Can they
do it? Based on our research, it is our belief they can. The
company's marketing results spoke for themselves above, in the form of
sales dollars. As such, the only remaining questions to be answered are
just how strong the VoIP market is, and how well it is growing....domestically
as
well as globally. Again, the numbers speak for themselves. Consider
these stats:
-
In the United States
alone, telecom customers spent an estimated $3 billion dollars on VoIP
services in 2007. In 2008, the number is expected to be around $4 billion.
Analysts say the figure could reach $10 billion by 2010.
-
Though most intend
to, only about 1/4 of small business owners have switched to a VoIP plan.
-
The number of VoIP
customers by the end of 2008 is estimated to be around 24 million. The
number is projected to be more than 32 million by 2010.
Conclusion:
We feel TelExtreme is entering the U.S. market at an opportune time with
what appears to be a powerful marketing method. This could have a near-term
as well as long-term positive impact on the company's top and bottom lines.
The stock could be a direct beneficiary of those results.
In the bigger
picture, bear in mind that the United States may not be the only
new market TelExtreme enters this year. In fact, it's just the proverbial
tip of the iceberg. Forecasters feel there will be more than 400 million
global broadband subscribers by 2010, which represents a huge opportunity
for TelExtreme's growth plan. They've already got a handful of Asian and
Latin American operations up and running, but the service isn't geographically
bound; any broadband customer in a country where TelExtreme is operating
is a potential revenue source.

Broadcast
International Just Won't Go Away |
|
|
Back on November
8th when we first mentioned Broadcast International (OTCBB:
BCST), we didn't plan on reprising it at this point in time. Like
an effective-but-bad jingle though, we just can't seem to shake it.
The latest installment
in the saga can be found in the nearby chart. In fact, the chart is
the
next chapter in the story.
The flight from
the November 8th price of $3.00 to the November 20th peak of $4.40 was
uncanny...uncanny enough for us to suggest taking some of the table on
November 21st. Who would have thought this stock's 46% rally (or a
282% rally of you go back to September) could possibly be extended any
further? BCST was way overbought, and nothing significant had changed
for the company over the course of the prior three months.
As it turns
out, apparently a lot of people thought the rally could indeed be
extended. The stock eased all the way back $3.04 by December 27th (the
very dip we were worried about, which by the way pulled shares right back
where they were when we started looking).
Like we said
though, this stock just keeps nagging and nagging...in a good way.
After the December
27th selloff, BCST went right back to work - only this time without
the added pressure of being overbought. By December 31st shares were back
above the 50 day moving average line, and have been finding support there
ever since.
The inspiration
for the second wave of buying? Broadcast International raised $15 million
to finance the further improvement of their technology, and they struck
a deal with On2 technologies to do for them what they do for everybody
else...compress video for digital delivery. And the buying isn't fluff
- we've seen a few major accumulation days during and after the
December pullback.
We'll continue
to follow the Broadcast International story, but more importantly, here's
the Eagle Ventures Intl. news...
Eagle
Ventures Intl. to Enter Fast-Growing United States VoIP Market.
Proven Marketing
Method to Spur Rapid Market Penetration.
EAGLE, Idaho,
Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eagle Ventures International's (Pink
Sheets: EGVI) wholly-owned subsidiary TelExtreme will be offering its
first voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) services within the United States
by January 31st. The decision to enter the fast-growing U.S. VoIP market
is part of a growth initiative aimed at increasing the company's revenues
to over $60 million for 2008.
TelExtreme intends
to reproduce in the U.S. the very sales/marketing model that has generated
great success in overseas markets, where sales rose from $30.1 million
in 2006 to a projected $40+ million in 2007, with the increase being primarily
attributable to penetration into the Mexican and Latin American markets.
In addition to its projected U.S. expansion, the company anticipates growth
opportunities stemming from the organic increase of consumer interest in
VoIP-based telephone services.
TelExtreme President,
Timothy Langston states, "There are expected to be between 21 million and
24 million VoIP users by the end of 2008 in the United States alone. By
the end of 2010, that number could be 30 million or more. Now is the right
time to start positioning TelExtreme to capture that growth."
Analysts estimate
the VoIP industry in the United States generated about $3 billion in sales
in 2007. By 2010, experts feel the industry could be driving anywhere from
$4 billion to $10 billion in annual sales.
Timothy Langston
added, "Our entry into the U.S. is not only an exciting time for our company,
but also our shareholders. We expect our sales process, which is through
individuals to individuals -- rather than through a corporate phone number
or corporate website -- will appeal to U.S. consumers. Too many current
and potential VoIP subscribers in the U.S. have had less than a great experience
with their choice of providers. We are firmly convinced the TelExtreme
option offers many things customers want, but aren't currently getting.
As such, we look forward to substantial revenue growth from our U.S. operations."
The growth opportunity
isn't limited to just residential plans. A recent study found that while
most plan on doing so, only about 25% of small business owners have converted
their telephone service to a VoIP plan.
