Lovely Nokia news :)

Daniel Stewart comment (and Nokia announced good results, unlike Ericsson the other day) :

VYKE - BUY

Price: 155p Target price: 430p Code: VYKE.L Analyst: Mike Jeremy | 020 7776 6570

Global distribution agreement with Nokia

Vyke has announced a global distribution agreement for its Mobile (WiFi) IP service with Nokia. In our view this represents a major step forward for the viability and profile of Vyke's offer.

Owners of WiFi-enabled Nokia handsets will be automatically directed to Vyke's end-user portal (www.vyke.com) via Nokia's "Download!" applications window.

New users will have $1 credit towards calls costing as little as 4cents each, with the option to sign up to Vyke's service thereafter.

Nokia announces 3Q results today. In 2Q it shipped 101m handsets (of all types) worldwide (a 38% share) and recently announced links with Intel to equip its 2008 models with WiFi and WiMAX chipsets. It is clear that Nokia has decided to strongly promote wireless LAN (WiFi) communications.

Therefore, in our view, the deal with Vyke coincides with a step-change in the momentum of WiFi distribution worldwide. BUY rating reaffirmed.

Shares in internet phone company Vyke soared as it secured a distribution deal with mobile phone giant Nokia. Nokia has agreed to distribute the mobile handset software component of the Vyke Mobile IP service, which enables users to make phone calls via the internet.

finished up 176 to buy

fernandesb - 18 Oct 2007 22:39 - 31 of 130

PapalPower, no doubt you're an expert :):) so question:

Do you think this 430p target is realistic... ?
And how long it is gonna take? I don't really like to buy something what is already going up, but with target 430p it seems to be still some potential out there....

PapalPower - 19 Oct 2007 01:04 - 32 of 130

fernandesb - I am no expert, that was the easy one to answer.

With regards to the 430p valuation, as with any stock, that target is after lots more progress. Target prices are also sentiment, and the stock market is sentiment.......good sentiment and anything is possible, bad sentiment and prices collapse down - regardless of progress or fundamentals.

I have been in from 90p levels, and so am happy to keep on holding with no worries.

I cannot say now whether this will go up more in the short term, or not - cannot help there.

All I can say is that a tech blue sky stock like VYKE needs good sentiment to rise - in a bear market these fall the fastest.

fernandesb - 19 Oct 2007 07:17 - 33 of 130

:):) thanks, anyway you are very right, sometimes i feel that that is the way (sentiment) in many cases:)

PapalPower - 19 Oct 2007 12:39 - 34 of 130

VYKE and CDN up nicely (I've only checked two so far, think I wont bother with the rest and just enjoy the blue)

PapalPower - 19 Oct 2007 16:27 - 35 of 130

Solid day, CDN up 10%, and VYKE up 5% :)

EU threatens

News that the EU may penalise mobile operators for data roaming fees (including text messages and music downloads) serves as a reminder of the huge pricing anomalies that exist between GSM-based mobile services and new technologies, such as WiFi. The Times reports that it is by means of such roaming charges that operators still hope to claw back the huge sums they paid out during the auction for 3G licenses.

Examples include Vodafone, charging for UK data 1.00/day compared to roaming (in France) at 5-8 day; Orange, similarly 1.50/day and 8.00 per Mb (one track takes up to 5Mb to download); or O2 at 7.50/month in the UK and for roaming 6.00/Mb. Roaming charges remain one of the most obvious pricing anomalies in the mobile phone charging structure and a further reminder of the clear pricing opportunity that exists for competitors using new access technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX. The EU has already forced up to 70% reductions in overseas call roaming charges.

There is a sense that mobile operators still feel owed some regulatory goodwill in return for their contributions via highly-priced 3G licenses in countries such as the UK (total 22.1bn paid) and Germany in 2001. But the roaming pricing structure serves as a further reminder that 3G demand has not boomed and has therefore not enabled pricing cuts that would have eliminated the need for such high charges.

Comment from Daniel Stewart today :

VYKE - BUY
Price: 183p Target price: 500p

Ends discussions on potential acquisition. No impact on operations.

Vyke has announced that it has decided not to proceed with the potential acquisition, flagged on 19 September 2007, of a US-based VoIP network service provider.

The company cited the outcome of the due diligence process, saying that "the target company did not meet Vyke's acquisition criteria", and adding that it "will maintain its current strategy of continued strong organic growth with carefully chosen acquisitions, which meet its criteria pertaining to geographical reach and quality of service".

In our view the key is service quality, specifically the level of termination agreement which we assume did not, under scrutiny, match Vyke's standards.

The quality of Vyke's network, and notably the reliability of its IP termination agreements, is an important differentiator and vital platform for its planned expansion. Although this potential acquisition failed to meet Vyke's criteria we expect the company to continue to look for similar opportunities.
