Rochester, NY, Jan 25, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- OTCStockExchange.com`s "Stock Watch Alert" this morning are WebSky, Inc. (Pink Sheets: WBSK), Netflix Inc. (NasdaqNM: NFLX), Silicon Laboratories Inc. (NasdaqNM: SLAB), Aastrom Biosciences Inc. (NasdaqNM: ASTM).
WebSky, Inc. (Pink Sheets: WBSK - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WBSK.PK ): WebSky, Inc. announced December 15th that it has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with World Wide Wireless (India), a New Delhi based telecommunications company, to develop a Next Generation wireless broadband service, to be initially launched in the cities of New Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay) and Ludhiana (Punjab).
Under the terms of the agreement, a Joint Venture to be known as WebSky (India), Ltd. will be establish to provide non-line-of-sight wireless broadband internet services over licensed frequencies. The first location to be developed will be in the industrial city of Ludhiana in Punjab State, to be followed thereafter by the development of the New Delhi and Mumbai projects. The venture plans to construct the project using advanced non-line-of-sight equipment which allows for fixed, portable, and eventually mobile connectivity within the service areas. The system will be fully compatible with, and adaptable to, new chipsets and related hardware currently being developed for advanced wireless broadband services by companies such as Intel.
Ludhiana, with 1.5 million inhabitants, is a one of the major cities of Punjab, a northern state with a population of nearly 25 million. New Delhi has over 11 million inhabitants, and Mumbai (Bombay) has nearly 13 million residents.
Despite India's well-deserved global reputation as a center of high tech and computer sciences, internet penetration rates are relatively low and broadband subscribers are represent only a small fraction of those subscribers. According to a recent report of the International Telecommunications Union, India, with a total population of over 1 billion, has approximately 4.1 million internet subscribers. Only 140,000 have broadband connections. However, internet penetration is growing at a rate of 12% per year. Although India possesses an extensive national fiber-optic network, antiquated wireline infrastructure has prevented widespread consumer availability of traditional broadband services in the country. The Indian government has recently established a clear public policy to encourage the rapid expansion of a broadband system throughout the subcontinent.
As in most emerging markets, the limited availability of broadband connections has resulted in very high consumer costs - as of July, 2004 to lowest monthly subscription rates in India for broadband connectivity was $US16.82 per month per 100 kbps download speed compared to $1.77 in the United States. The relatively low capital expenditures required to construct such a system - as compared to wireline systems offering similar speeds and capacity - will facilitate the venture's ability to engage in price competition while maintaining high profit margins. The joint venture anticipates the launch of its first operations in India during the second quarter of 2005. WebSky India projects, based on modest market penetration assumptions along with continuing robust growth of the internet in India, that annual revenues for the three initial locations in the third year of operations will exceed $US45 million.

The Company will be constructing high speed, wireless broadband Internet systems.

In addition, WebSky has entered into agreements with local telecommunications companies in India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Argentina to developed wireless broadband systems in those countries.
Netflix Inc. (NasdaqNM: NFLX - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=nflx ): Netflix Inc.'s fourth-quarter profit more than doubled as the online DVD rental pioneer continued to broaden its audience despite stiffening competition from its much larger rivals.
The Los Gatos-based company said Monday that it earned $4.8 million, or 8 cents per share, during the final three months of last year. That compared with net income of $2.3 million, or 4 cents per share, during the same 2003 period.
Revenue for the quarter totaled $143.9 million, a 77 percent improvement from the prior year. Netflix recorded the healthy sales gains despite an 18 percent price reduction made to counter an intensifying threat from video rental giant Blockbuster Entertainment Inc.
If not for several expenses unrelated to its ongoing business, Netflix said it would have earned 14 cents per share. That figure topped the mean estimate of 10 cents per share among analysts polled by Thomson First Call.
The results were released after the stock market closed Monday. Netflix's shares gained 10 cents to finish at $11.14 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then surged $1.67, or 15 percent, in extended trading.
The fourth-quarter performance indicated that Netflix is holding its own in a price war that had raised investor concerns about the company's ability to ward off an aggressive online expansion by Blockbuster. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, also is taking aim at Netflix in hopes of luring more of the households that use the Internet to place online rental orders for DVDs that are delivered through the mail.
Despite the challenges, Netflix ended December with 2.6 million subscribers, a three-month gain of 17 percent, or 381,000 additional customers.
In another positive sign, fewer customers are canceling the service. Netflix said its so-called customer churn rate fell to 4.4 percent, the lowest level since the rental service started five years ago. The churn rate had climbed to 5.6 percent in third quarter, exacerbating the investor anxieties that caused Netflix's once-hot stock to plunge by 55 percent last year.
"In the last six months, Blockbuster has thrown everything but its kitchen sink at us, but we have continued to grow and retain customers," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told analysts during a Monday conference call.
The competition shows no signs of relenting.
Blockbuster recently lowered the monthly fee for its online rental service to $14.99 -- 17 percent below Netflix's $17.99 monthly price for three DVD rentals at a time. Wal-Mart also has undercut Netflix with a $15.49 monthly fee.
Netflix is also girding for online retail giant Amazon.com Inc.'s possible expansion into the rapidly expanding U.S. market for DVD rentals.
Netflix so far has refused to lower its prices again, but Hastings assured analysts that the company is prepared to rent DVDs at a loss if it believes its rivals are gaining ground. "No one should doubt our resolve to maintain our leadership in a market we invented," he said.
All the major players view the rapidly growing DVD rental business as a springboard for leaping into the delivery of movies over Internet connections.
Netflix plans to begin offering an on-demand service later this year in partnership with another home entertainment trendsetter, TiVo Inc. Netflix doesn't expect to make significant money from online movie delivery initially, but believes the business eventually will become more lucrative than DVD rentals.
The potential of that market is so alluring that Netflix and its rivals all seem willing to lose money to build future market share.
This year while adding 1.2 million to 1.5 million more subscribers. Executives said the projected losses will widen if Netflix decides to lower its prices again.
For all of 2004, Netflix earned $20.8 million, or 32 cents per share, on revenue of $506.2 million. In 2003, Netflix earned $6.5 million, or 10 cents per share, on revenue of $272.2 million.
Silicon Laboratories Inc. (NasdaqNM: SLAB - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=slab ): Silicon Laboratories Inc. said Monday that its fourth-quarter profit fell sharply as revenue slumped amid higher spending during the period, but results topped expectations and sent sharing climbing in late trading.
The chipmaker also forecast first-quarter revenue slightly ahead of current Wall Street views. Silicon shares fell $1.03, or 3.6 percent, to $27.23 at the close of Nasdaq trading, but rose $5.40, or 19.8 percent, to $32.63 in after-hours activity.
Quarterly income slipped to $12.9 million, or 24 cents per share, while adjusted earnings -- excluding charges from amortizing deferred stock compensation -- were $13.8 million, or 25 cents. Revenue fell 13 percent to $95.5 million from $109.6 million a year earlier.
On average, analysts polled by Thomson First Call expected earnings of 21 cents per share on $95.5 million in revenue.
Silicon, which makes chips for phones, modems and television set-top boxes, said demand for mixed-signal and mobile handset products declined as expected from the third quarter.
The company also increased research and development spending by 35 percent to $20.1 million, raising total expenses 19 percent to $36.2 million.
For the year, Silicon earned $76.7 million, or $1.39 per share, up sharply from $44.7 million, or 86 cents, in 2003. Total revenue was $456.2 million, a 40 percent gain from $325.3 million last year.
Analysts anticipated a profit of $1.42 per share and revenue of $456.2 million.
Looking forward, Silicon estimates first-quarter revenue of $101 million to $105 million, ahead of analyst predictions of $99.7 million. A year earlier, the company posted a profit of 38 cents per share on $113.6 million in sales.
Aastrom Biosciences Inc. (NasdaqNM: ASTM - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=astm ): Aastrom Biosciences Inc. on Monday said it uses adult, not embryonic, stem cells to produce cells that are being tested to see if they can repair severe bone fractures.
The company's stock fell 77 cents, or more than 19 percent, to close at $3.23 on Nasdaq after an article on Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine said batches of human embryonic stem cells available under the strict policies of the U.S. government are contaminated with an animal molecule.
In a release, the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company said it does not use embryonic stem cells, nor does it use mouse-derived feeder cells to support stem-cell growth, the two major topics of the article.
Aastrom said it uses proprietary technology to produce tissue repair cells, which are an adult, patient-derived bone marrow stem and progenitor cell mixture.
