I think YOO (YES) may have just pulled off the biggest deal so far by an absolute mile. I've had a look at Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser websites.They have 14 breweries world wide (2 in Europe), infact one in London...... They brew no less than 30 different beers and have moved into non alcoholic beverage. They as an organisation have their fingers in all the pies and certainly know how to market merchandise. They have MOBILE and GAMETIME folders on the Budweiser Home page with "text a Bud", "text a show", "text a song" options, so are fully aware what mobbies can do for you and know how to engage their customers. !!!!. I think they are about to move to the next level as Marketeers and Sponsors of just about anything that involves more than 1 person LOL LOL LOL.........................THEY LOVE MAKING MONEY
Forget the World Cup, the Derby and the Ryder Cup, you better add these as well !!!
""Anheuser-Busch is also a major sponsor or advertiser on all of the Best Sporting Events To Use To Reach Fans as ranked in the poll -- the Super Bowl, NCAA mens basketball tournament, Summer Olympics, World Cup, Daytona 500, World Series and NBA Finals.""
Anheuser- Busch is huge as an organisation, they have 10 theme parks and all sorts of other enterprises....ALL TO DO WITH GROUPS OF PEOPLE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
They know how to play the game for sure and have taken it another step further with YOO's technology. I think YOO WILL pick up a lot of business from our Anheuser-Busch friends.

YooMedia, the AIM-traded interactive content and services provider, has signed
an agreement with tvtv, a branch of Sony United Kingdom Ltd, to provide
bandwidth for transmission of rich EPG data through Digital Terrestrial
Television (DTT) in the UK.
tvtv is aggregating and transmitting TV metadata through Internet, analog and
digital broadcast in Europe. The service enables advanced EPG functionality on
TV sets, digital set-top-boxes, personal video recorders, DVD recorders,
personal computers and mobile phones. Device manufacturers, using the tvtv EPG
data service, can design their own user interface and offer consumers easy to
use, state of the art devices with inter-connectivity within mobile, internet
and broadcast platforms.
In addition, YooMedia and tvtv will collaborate to research and develop
additional interactive digital television services via or in conjunction with
the EPG, such as enhanced on-screen TV magazines and interactive television
advertising.
YooMedia's Group Managing Director, Neil MacDonald, said: 'We are delighted to
announce this new datacasting services agreement with tvtv, a company with
experience in EPG services. We believe the collaboration will further enhance
the services provided by both YooMedia and tvtv, solidifying our position as the
partner of choice in this sector.'
Dimitris Kourepis, General Manager tvtv, said: 'I am very pleased to cooperate
with YooMedia, a company with strong presence in interactive television. It
supports our plans to provide rich EPG data and new exciting services to our
customers in UK and other European countries.'
YooMedia's datacasting service is unique in the market as a means of delivering
dynamic next-generation interactivity on Freeview in the UK. The Directors
expect to deliver annualised incremental earnings in excess of 500,000 by the
end of 2006 from a range of datacasting services and customers, following the
introduction of the service in September of 2005.

Very good news. The price is rising again on the back of two deals which will help YOO make profits in 2006 and show what they are really about and prove Dill boy wrong!

I dont know about anyone else but im in profit already!! Owt above five and half pence is good for me.
Dil is there any reason for your constant negativity regarding this share, i could understand if you were providing some kind of evidence to back up your comments, but just to say it is a pile of poo over and over again is really not the helpfull to anyone!! Having said that i am going to take heart from your last post as instead of saying it will be worth nowt, you are saying it wont treble, double will do me tp start with!! :-)

You want evidence then go read the announcements from this bunch of jokers over the last 2 years. They never achieve what they say they will achieve and the chart confirms this.

:-) Yes I have got the fact that you dont like this company or the people that run it, but lack of past achievements is not evidence of future failures. Granted it has to be a consideration, but I Just cant understand if you have no position in YOO why you waste your time continually telling us that you think it is a pile of poo.

Yes i Know he is doing his level best to find any scrap of good news (well as long as its news and it does not say BAD NEWS for YOO at the top:) but we know mac is long and has a vested interest in trying to big up the share. At least he gives opions on why he thinks certain news is good for yoo, You simply saying that it is poo does not cancel this out or add to a balance argument.

The directors appear to be extremely confident, regarding the earnings contribution, the Datacasting services will provide. The words "expect to deliver annualised incremental earnings in excess of #500,000 by the end of 2006" were used, indicating the figure may well be significantly higher this year. In addition, further earnings growth from Datacasting is highly likely in 2007, as at present, Yoomedia are the only company capable and willing, to provide this service. The spare bandwidth is clearly a highly valuable commodity.
"following the introduction of the service in September of 2005."
So from a standing start 6 months ago, 'Datacasting' is expected to produce earnings of >500k this year. All this is only 6 months! Bearing in mind, Yoomedia are the only company offering this service, is is not unreasonable to speculate that 'Datacasting' may therefore produce earnings of 2m in 2007 and 3m in 2008. Remember, 500k in additional earnings, from a completely new area of business, in only 6 months!
The minimum of 500k earnings or around 0.1p EPS contribution, from 'Datacasting' is actually equal to the old EVO reduce note, which forecasted 2006 EPS of 0.1p. Well today's RNS meets this target on it's own. Then factor in the full restructing of Gambling and Games recently and the other deals. I expect SP to forecast a profit of around 4m in 2006, with further upgrades to follow as newsflow continues.
No one else in the U.K. is in a position to offer the service. First revenue streams only 6 months ago. Management now predicting earnings from 'Datacasting' of >500k this year. Not revenue, but EARNINGS! This represents exponential growth, from a standing start, of unprecidented magnitued!
Therefore, assume 'Datacasting' growth continues and we arrive at a 3m earnings contribution for FY 2008.

2006 eps = 0.004347826 cautious pe of 15 = share price of 6.52p
+
additional contract of 500k = 0.00108695 cautious pe of 15 = 0.016p
=
new share price of 6.54p
So who were the monkeys that thought buying today at above 7p due to this new little contract was a good thing?
