I agree with all that robstuff - plus I hope the CEO has got over his initial obsession with posting on Twitter, which started about the end of July and he is now concentrating his efforts on the important business of winning contracts.

The SIM contract at £12m P.A. is bigger than the Mitie Contract. Remember what happened very soon June 14th, when it was announced that the £7.5m P.A. contract was with Mitie. In the next 2 weeks the SP rose 75%. I wonder what will happen when we get the announcement of who the SIM contract is with.

From LSE:
"I'm not sure if the next contract win will be revealed before the New Year. But I can tell you the deal that I understand is nearly complete is with a household name with a significant number of sites. The deal will revolve mainly around M2M devices. In the new year COMS will launch their MVNO to the indirect dealer channel. If they get the service proposition and the pricing correct this will open a huge opportunity into the dealer network and although not huge margins, having a large dealer network will allow them to cross sell other products and bring volume which intern will help will help COMS buy better and increase the margin by a few points."
"M2M is basically machines / devices that take a SIM card and deliver information using data over the mobile networks. These SIMS are used in vending machines, banking terminals, Taxi's all kinds off different uses. MVNO is where you can run your own mini mobile network. you strike an agreement with a specific network, in COMS's case this will be Vodafone and you can sell and build your own packages."

Amazing technology. My combined electricity / gas meter now has a Vodafone SIM card in it and transmits the data directly to British Gas. No meter reader ringing the doorbell every six months (though that is probably not good news for the original guy tasked for the job) and no 'sorry we missed you' cards through the letterbox. Very impersonal, but also very efficient.
