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 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..

I think the email was sent to him after he said he recorded conversations.

oneill,

Calm down a bit! I think you will find that you can officially become an 'insider' to company info, by signing certain agreements.

I think as a tipster you have to be regulated/approved by the fsa anyway. I don't know how this status affects your ability to buy and sell shares in a company that you are recommending (perhaps somebody could enlighten me?)..

The bottom line here is what he was told, and what stage these 'deals' were at, one with post Office was said to be done, and only awaiting approval form the cabinet, this is almost certainly now shown to be a major over-statement, what we do not know is who did this, was it the CEO or was it Tim?

regards
t..

Rampers!!!!! I wish they would, I almost doubled my stake for half the money this morning and then lost my bottle, I mean it can't half its self again in a month can it.

As a sopheon victim I guess belated caution has to be the by word.

yes, the e-mail was sent to me after the conversation.

Regarding the post office deal, the point i was making was that the electronic systems in the post offices are all up and running, so what part is left for EPO to play. my dad goes in and gets his pension electronically, and has beeen for 6 weeks

Tim Freeborn

At the risk of sounding like a parrot , at least have the courtesy to respond to our earlier questions.

When do you plan to provide an update in Shares Magazine, tell us,i bet you will see a dramatic inrease in circulation that week, so its in your interests to provide an update.

There will be an update in shares mag tomorrow, at this price the shares are not worth selling, i will still hold

yeah why sell at this price...........were already lost....if you were going to sell it would have been in the 2.5p range. I am still (quitely) confident that with some positive news and more info about existing contract wins and Baltimore claim that we will recover to the 3p range.........interesting to see what Shares mag says tomorrow......surely the management must be alarmed at the price dive and will issue an RNS to quell investors fears.....will they????

Here is what you've been waiting for from Shares Mag

The company alleges a 22 million shares bear position has been built up via contracts for difference.

Nerve-wracking, but we will HOLD for now.
