Some good news at last from this weeks Shares mag. Tim Freeborn revisits the company and altho no firm details are given about new deals he says they will be announced this quarter. I would think that this could be at the same time as the interim results are announced. I for one will be holding on cos they will fly sooner rather than later! ( 8.30% up today!)

I have just worked out what is happening - the CEO is telling Tim that they have done a deal with PO etc - Tim then goes to a competitor and sells them the information - they then contact PO and give them a great deal and get the businesss. How thick is EPO management.

If this is not true then who does one trust Tim or Rob? or neither? It doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out that something is amiss. Its not as if we are talking about a couple of weeks here, it is now 7 months since.

Tim Freeborn

I along with some other readers of this board are awaiting your detailed response, please do not delay as we need answers to what i consider are ' very important questions '

If we have no RNS from EPO re ' Ground Breaking Deals' by close of business tomorrow whats your next move.

look JW, If you bought shares on someone else's advice without doing your own research your an idiot, you need to accept that your an idiot and stop trying to blame other people, if you did your own research and chose to buy this company off your own back then you need to accept that either you bought them at the wrong time, or you should sit and wait for something to happen , but please either way just SHUT UP!!!!

I'm not aware my previous posts suggested or confirmed i bought shares as a result of what Tim Freeborn has written, maybe as you are a very bright chap you should clarify which post confirmed this.I suggest in future get your facts correct before posting misleading information about me, anyway its better you filter my posts in future.

For the avoidance of doubt my comments are directed to TF, it is him who has written ' His credibility really will be dented if neither appears' by end of July. ( might end up being sued by RC for making such a statement although he must feel very annoyed at RC to use such strong language ) In fairness to TF he only had written what he was told by RC,my concerns have been well documented on previous posts,be in no doubt FSA will want to take a very close look at what has been told by EPO CEO to TF,this as TF knows well is a very serious breach if what TF reported about what RC is correct.

Tim Freeborn

I am still awaiting your reply to my earlier postings, i'm sure you take a regular look at the board but maybe are lost for words at present, fair enough.

I note your comment about research note being ' nowhere near ready to produce a note', yet a previous RNS from RC confirmed a research note will be ready in July, did you read research note produced by Seymour Pierce forecasting revenues 4.2m y/e june 2004,remember analyst would have rec'd guidance from someone senior within EPO, this was published on EPO website so we must assume company was generally satisfied with these forecasts, surely new note being prepared will be even more bullish, is that your view or have you lost confidence in this companies management because they ' taken you for a jolly '

Tim freeborn are you still of the same opinion as you was.You have gone very silent.

Reading this thread from time to time I think if I were TF I would let JW and his followers huff and puff until they blow their own houses down.

Fred1new,

The only way the to shut up the detractors is for this company and those 'connected' to it, is to realise that the only thing that matters is to stop over-promising, and under-delivering, in this respect the company and the ceo are there own worst enemies.

TF must be gutted, it increasingly looks like he has been had hook,line and sinker.

The company should simply update the market through the proper channels, then all of this squabbling could then finish, and a proper debate about its business model and its chances of success would ensue.

DYOR imho etc..

T..

I agree Tradx..........i don't blame TF though......maybe a lesson learnt......news should only be released when the deal has been done.......ie. this Post Office contract......if it exists this should not be public news yet. i am interested to hear what TF says..........and I therefore expect if no news comes out this week then a update in Shares Mag should appear in next weeks issue....The last update 2 weeks ago was a Hold/Buy....it's looking more like a Hold/Sell......I have not operated a stop/loss on this stock........don't get emotionally attached..well i have because i believe in the product.........time will tell if my investment decision was correct.........

Tim Freeborn / Rob Cunningham

Do we need to report you guys as missing, its looking very serious at present.Ifs there no response by midnight then i suggest the shares are suspended until you guys surface !!!!!!!!!!

I think Tim has a problem - he knows that if he comes out against Rob in anyway - he will be sued!

I know through speaking to TF and RC which one has misled investors and it is the latter. TF has not gained anything from the info he was given by RC, but he is on a loss as we all are. here is a reply to an e-mail from me to Epo, note RC's reaction when he knows that i can prove he misled me regarding the US deal delay.

Dear Mr. *******

All earthport staff are advised not to communicate with our shareholders by e-mail because of the inherent danger of this medium.

In normal circumstances I am more than than happy to discuss earthport with our shareholders either on the phone or in person. You claim to have recorded a private conversation between us, and I assume that in making this claim you are unaware that in most circumstances it is a criminal offence in the United Kingdom to record a private conversation with another person without their knowledge. I must therefore advise you that I will only communicate with you in future by correspondence or in person when other earthport personnel are in attendance.

You are welcome to attend the earthport offices to meet with me at any time when convenient to us both. Please note however that I am unable at any time to discuss price sensitive information with our shareholders or other third parties.

Best Regards

Rob Cunningham

CEO earthport plc

Oh dear Ssanebs you are not alone, please do not feel in anyway threatened by this, which is what the intention was.

ssanebs,

unbelievable. There can only be one question, what were you mislead on?

I was curious about the comments made by EPO CEO and found the following

Legality of recording at home

While Oftel says that at work every reasonable effort should be made to inform all parties to a call that it may or will be recorded, silently monitored or intruded into the latest information from them for recording at home is different.

Oftel's overview of the interception, recording and monitoring of communications
The interception, recording and monitoring of telephone calls is governed by a number of different pieces of UK legislation. The requirements of all relevant legislation must be complied with. The main ones are:
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 ("RIPA")
Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice)(Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000 ("LBP Regulations")
Data Protection Act 1998
Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 1999
Human Rights Act 1998
It is not possible to provide comprehensive detail of that legislation here. Any person considering interception, recording or monitoring of telephone calls or e-mails is strongly advised to seek his/her own independent legal advice and should not seek to rely on the general information provided below. It should be borne in mind that criminal offences and civil actions may occur when the relevant legislation is not complied with.

Can I record telephone conversations on my home phone?
Yes. The relevant law, RIPA, does not prohibit individuals from recording their own communications provided that the recording is for their own use. Recording or monitoring are only prohibited where some of the contents of the communication - which can be a phone conversation or an e-mail - are made available to a third party, ie someone who was neither the caller or sender nor the intended recipient of the original communication. For further information search the Home Office Website where RIPA is posted.

Do I have to let people know that I intend to record their telephone conversations with me?
No, provided you are not intending to make the contents of the communication available to a third party. If you are you will need the consent of the person you are recording.

Can a business or other organisation record or monitor my phone calls or e-mail correspondence with them?
Yes they can, but only in a limited set of circumstances relevant for that business which have been defined by the LBP Regulations. The main ones are:

to provide evidence of a business transaction
to ensure that a business complies with regulatory procedures
to see that quality standards or targets are being met in the interests of national security
to prevent or detect crime to investigate the unauthorised use of a telecom system
to secure the effective operation of the telecom system.
In addition, businesses can monitor, but not record, phone calls or e-mails that have been received to see whether they are relevant to the business (ie open an employee's voicemail or mailbox systems while they are away to see if there are any business communications stored there). For further information see the DTI website where the LBP Regulations are posted.

regarding the post office deal i do not understand what part EPO is going to play, because as far as i can see the system is in place, and is up and working. The US deal he told me was 'done deal' is still floating in space or sucked into a black hole.Last weeks deals seemed to have followed the same course. RC needs to get in his spaceship and try and find them......Sorry got carried away into a fantasy, a bit like RC.

I thought it was common courtsy for a company to release a news bulletin regarding recent severe price movement.must be a sign of lazy management

ssnebs,

"regarding the post office deal i do not understand what part EPO is going to play, because as far as i can see the system is in place, and is up and working"

Could you please explain exactly what you mean here? What system, and how is it working? Are you saying that epo have absolutely nothing to do with the post office at all? If so, how do you explain the CEOs' comments (according to Tim) that it is 'only held up in Cabinet!!?'...

Stranger by the minute, it really does look like Tim has been taken for a very long ride.

T..
