I'll have to agree with Peaser GTEL will need more PR especially with the SI teethered. The rest will be the beginning of a new history of communications.

New to board but also see potential of technology as well as stock. Was leary of WiMax competition until I found out that Sanswire will be utilizing it with their airship.

This is from the article George just posted:
Sanswire plans to launch Sanswire Two in a test flight from Edwards Air Force Base in late summer, once the Air Force and NASA have approved the necessary permits.
It sounds like they're gonna launch late summer.

Any thoughts on why you think it may drop? My impression...and mine only....is that they stated they were gonna be doing some tethered tests outside Sab Bernadino hangar before disassembly for transport to Palmdale. Now if they are to take pictures of the fully covered and complete prototype...then release pictures...wouldn't a PPS spike become most likely? Or if they say that it has been trucked to Palmdale and reassembly has begun. Or that it is ready for flight to Edwards.
The share price seems pretty stable for the time being. The PPS has not dropped below .232 since the day after unveiling. And thats with the markets being hammered most of last week as well.
We also have to be wary of a pre-announcement on 1st quarter numbers. And the numbers are supposed to be great over 04 1Q. They are due out May 16th. So a pre-announcement is very possible. JMHO.

PPS appears to be stable now. It has probably hit it's appropriate level for now. We've all seen that this is very much PR & MM driven. I'm liking this stock alot.
My understanding is that tethered testing would be at this site before it is disassembled and moved. I hope that is the plan. It should be good for at least 3-4 spikes in the next couple of months.

where do you get your information on this tethered testing? I have read nothing in regards to this, except on this board. Do you have an in with someone in gtel? I have read every news release and do not remember reading that, it is possible that I missed it. If it is true that is good, if not then that's false hope.

This is from April 14th PR.....
Sanswire plans to do tethered test outside of the hanger at its current location at San Bernardino Airport, California to validate the structural integrity and to collect needed data. After the test, the airship will be transported to the Palmdale secured hangar next to Edwards Air force Base. These tests will in no way delay the process already underway to clear the airship for flight on the test range at Edwards.

My apologies to you if it seemed as though I was questioning you. Plain and simple I missed it. I notice there's no date in this news release, as to when they may have this tether test. The stock is beginning to bother me, with cancellations of tests and so on and so forth.

What are your thoughts on arriving at the impression a R/S announcement is imminent? I respect your opinion, and I'm not a pumper, I'm just curious as to what indicates a coming R/S to you?
My thoughts are that no R/S is likely at all. There would be no benefit to do an R/S. If share count concerns you, I believe they would initiate a share buyback program before an R/S would ever be considered. The reasons for my thinking are two-fold. First off, a buyback has many extra benefits, such as reducing O/S, increases company owned shares, and provides PPS stability. And second, Globetel will become prifitable by 2Q (Letter to Shareholders), and revenues are to continue growing(includes nothing from Strat, core business only). The 2004 Revs increased 3-fold over 2003, and they are forecast to grow in 2005 as well.

From that PR on April 14th, it states they are doing the tehtered tests before transporting the prototype to Palmdale. And this is from PR on April 18th, "Sanswire entered a three-month lease agreement in January with the Inland Valley Development Agency and San Bernardino International Airport Authority and then extended the lease through the end of April, said Penny Chua, marketing director. The joint powers authorities oversee development of the former Norton Air Force Base."
From those 2 PR's, I would conclude that the tethered testing is occurring before the end of this month. Whether they will issue a PR about the tehered tests and/or photos, I do not know.

Pagan...It's just that 1 billion 80 million shares = 1,080,000,000 dollars at 1 dollar....That market cap any time soon to me seems unreasonable....However if they do the split soon, at 1 to 3 they could go to AMEX with a market cap of approximately 300,000,000 dollars at close to a dollar....It would be harder to stay on the AMEX at approx. .30 if they maintain a buck it will be easier to stay on the AMEX..Untill things really get up and flying..a little play on words ,could'nt resist..wadaya think!!!

Dustoff1... If my math is correct..lol....and thats always a big if! A $1 billion market cap is not out of the question. For the year 2004, they had $28 million in revs, and if revs double this year to $56 million. A $1 PPS is easily doable with a PE ratio of 18. (And again, this does not include any Strat valuation in revs)
And...there is a HUGE stigma attached to R/S's. And IMHO, I think an RS is a totally unnecessary risk. And just as an example of companies with a PE ration of 20 or higher...there is a short list below...
Intel 20, Microsoft 27, Cisco 22, Dell 30, 3M 20, GE 23 and the list goes on...

The problem with the R/S rumors and thats what they are at this point is someone should come out from the company and squash the rumors....It really is sad the way rumors get going....We are doing it right now indirectly..That said, I still like the idea of doing one. But who am I but a minor trader!!!
Anyway that PE at .18 is really cool..Something has to be right...I think we still have some rough flying weather ahead, but Rome was not built in a day......

I doubt an R/S is coming. There's no reason for it, at least yet. If they have successful tethered tests this should instill more confidence. Then if they have a successful launch this summer, (successful meaning they prove their concepts are obtainable near term), I personally believe this stock will see a pps between $ 3 and $ 5 very quickly. (Example: SIRI). This stock shouldn't be valued in a traditional way (e.g. Past earnings, debt to equity, book value, PE, blah, blah.), but potential earnings; at least for adding in the 'strat' value. It's like someone announcing a cure for all cancers. You don't look at traditional measurements, you look at it's POTENTIAL value. Like Pagen said, even if they have more barriers to cross before a 'proven concept strat' can be built, the other part of their business is growing very successfully.

I strongly believe that this will see below .2 before it moves up again. I sold off all my shares the other day and am planning to buy more than I originally had in the first place in a few weeks or so. I strongly believe that this may suffer some in the coming weeks. That is the main reason for my temporary departure from GTEL. I lost a little cash because I held on too long and didn't sell when we peaked a week ago last Friday. I sure learned my lessons on taking profits when they're staring me in the face. I won't forget the RSI rule again with many stocks. I am not bitter about the loss because I believe that GTEL will gain it all back for me at a future date.
I strongly believe that GTEL will blast off in a few months; however, I am looking to make some money before that time comes instead of gradually losing money on a daily basis as I believe that this may suffer gradually.
About the R/S. For all who are guessing on this. I believe strongly that once the daily RSI drops below 30, a R/S could happen. I believe that GTEL is waiting for the RSI to get so low, that a R/S should not hurt the price of this.
Please watch out for an announcement of a shareholder's meeting. If I see this message reflected in a PR, I am selling all my shares that I currently own at the time. If this message is sent out from GTEL, I feel very strongly that a 4/1 Reverse Split may be on it's way to us very soon following the announcement. After an R/S is announced in the future, AMEX will come too IMHO.
GTEL will be great I strongly believe. We are just a little delayed right now. This is my favorite stock, and I am going to be patient and wait for this to drop as I believe it will. After the drop, I will be able to buy more shares than I sold. Well, I just wanted to pass along my thoughts and current concerns. In a year from now, this will all be old news. The more shares I can accummulate before this takes off is the key though.

I have heard of the teathered testing as well. GTEL is planning to do some teathered testing before moving S1 to AAB, according to Timothy Huff. Personally, I'm not sure what is in store for S1 now, as S2 will be up and ready to go soon after S1 is completed. Have to wait and find out from the horse's mouth I guess.

Peaser...I think you will be kicking yourself in the butt when this thing averages 1-2% a day with some days at 0, but over all I expect a slow gain here on out till launch. Then its is up up and away or crash and burn.

I agree completely. The only possible near term bad news has been dealt with ....pushback of launch. So the next possible PR's that will be coming should all have a good effect on the stock. Such as...launch earlier than July (would be huge). 1Q financials due soon....should be quite impressive. Pictures of completed Strat before launch...even if tethered...all good stuff IMO

The reason I don't see us dropping to .20 or below soon is because I think we would have seen that last week (during that aweful selloff) and we didn't.

I'm afraid to let loose of my shares for fear Huff will come out and say something like "We just signed a LOI with the Peoples Republic of China to launch a hub of 200 strats over Asia"...LOL You never can tell when good PR can kick this thing in the A** far enough that you're chasing .30+ in a hurry...IMO.

My thoughts on any contracts are this. I think that the strat will have to prove itself before any contracts come in. The wise investor's, such as the US Military + foreign powers aren't counting there chickens before they hatch I strongly believe.
Once it is proven, it's off to the races for us.
All that matters these next couple of weeks is what the closing price is IMHO. Keep a watch on it.

All that have been following this thread for a while know just how high and excited I am on GTEL's future. It's just been delayed a bit with the set-backs. This one is a patience play. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy at these prices because I honestly feel they can get it for cheaper in May IMHO, well at least that's what my crystal ball has been telling me lately. Some of you know about my crystal ball.
The only PR that can push this to .3 between now and June is Photos of S1 or S2 completed IMHO. Just as in the past, all that matters to this stock is the strats success.
