Setanta, Sky ink Premiership agreement Thursday, May 11 2006, 18:13 BST - by Neil Wilkes
Setanta and Sky have concluded a distribution deal enabling pubs, clubs and other commercial premises to receive complete coverage of the Premier League games through their regular Sky subscription.
Under an EC ruling, Sky's long-standing monopoly of the rights to air the matches was broken last week when Irish broadcaster Setanta was awarded two of six new rights packages.
The distribution arrangement ensures that commercial establishments will not need to purchase separate subscriptions to receive all of the games, although it is unclear whether - or by how much - the single subscription price will rise.
A deal has also been reached "in principle" for continued carriage of the Setanta PPV channels on Sky. However, residential customers will need to take out a standalone subscription to receive Setanta's Premier League coverage.
"This is good news for Sky customers - both commercial and residential," said Richard Freudenstein, chief operating officer at Sky. "We're pleased to have been able to reach agreement with Setanta to ensure that Setanta's Premiership coverage will be available on the satellite platform."
Setanta's Premiership coverage begins with the 2007/08 season.
Trajectory Sports & Media Group works closely with Setanta to develop wireless sports opportunities using SMS, WAP, MMS, as well as video and 3G applications. Sports and network partners include the Canadian Football League, the NHL Vancouver Canucks, Vodafone, Verizon Wireless, Cingular, Sprint, Telus Mobility and China Unicom. Trajectory also sells commercial advertising and sponsorship for Setanta's portfolio of networks including Setanta Sport UK, Setanta Sport Ireland and other properties. Trajectory Sports acts as Setana Media's U.S. partner for Txt2Win contests and other consumer initiatives. Additional information is available at www.setanta.com/.

Now I'm pissed. I had a buy order in for the last 3-4 trading hours and not a single share went into my account. I was trying to get 30 million shares at .0005 when there was about 15MM on the ask at .0005 The volume was a little less than 2 billion when I put my order in and around one billion were sold at .0005 and not one singe share went to my. I called and asked etrade why and they told me that is how things work in the otcbb market. Did anybody here have the same problem.

I was wondering why he put in the debenture PR. You don't hault a debenture unless you know there is a MASSIVE revenue source coming soon. That AH PR is BIGGER than a US contract. That is WORLD WIDE, BILLIONS of potential consumers. The growth potential on the Mobile PR ALONE is gonna send this thing thru the roof when the financials come out on that one aspect of this baby later in this year going into next. This is turning into a legit LONG TERM hold.

The MMs sure don't want anyone to buy this the way the L2s are lined up. Ask * .002 and the next one is *1.00, and the Bid is *.0001. That's a BIG stop sign. They know something is going to happen Tuesday.

O.k.....Is this stock undervalued or what!! What is everyones legitimate guess on how high this puppy might go. Two weeks?....6 months...1 year. My guess .001 in next two weeks....05 months....and maybe hmmmmmm $1.00 in a year.

Glad I was able to sell 8mil * .0004 to make all my money back and now riding 5mil free shares. If that Bid goes to 1.00 on Tuesday I'm retiring to do this full time.

Must admit that letting it drift up a little made plenty of shares available for Tuesday. I would guess that if this hits .0008 there will be a huge sell off again. The shake out was incredible today.
Caution!

The bids and asks are invalid once the market closes. All you are seeing are the MMs that haven't closed them up for the day.

The news today was a prerequisite to major announcements.
My target on this event (today's news) will allow us to trade in the area of .001+.
My guess we will have a gap up on Tuesday morning and eventually trade in the range of .001+..Probably by midweek..
One point that an investor must remember that there are many and most shareholders purchased their average at .0005 some lower and some higher,but generally this is the range and the MMs know it...They will play on this.
So what they (MM) will do is allow the gap up on Tuesday and cause a fake..This will occur mid-morning where they (MM) will lower the bid to under the gap to give you a sense of fallback and you sell...Don't!!!
The company hasn't even started with their announcements and it will only get better..
However! With that said,keep in mind that there are many shares outstanding and will eventually settle into what is known as market cap.
I suspect that our range in the coming weeks will be .001 - .006..Once the company announces a US carrier the higher range above .006 and a spike may occur,but it will settle back based on the O/S verses market cap.
We are coming to the end of the month and the MMs need to balance their books..Forget the analogy that MMs are buying,that is bull..Market Makers don't buy into inventory and seldom hold such..In some cases they hold %,but it is small and inconsequential..Liquidity is their game and in the markets they will play this and have you hold the inventory.
The coming weeks is going to be a major push for us,but with so many that bought in the range of .0003 -.0004 will without a doubt cause a stall because profit taking will kick in...These players will be taken out and that is what MMs do..They will take advantage of these entries first and they know the numbers..
Keep in mind that the company is continuing their backback and that will go along way..Depending on the buyback will determine the eventual share price..Folks pennyland is not that far off.
So my target is .001 to .002 next week and pretty much the range until further news.
posted
it is entirely realistic for a stock like BKMP to move into the multiple penny range. Particularly given that dilution is stopped, and actually a buyback is in progress, and also lots more great PRs on the way...

FIGHT MOBILE is now available in the United States on Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0 network. Other first-tier carriers are preparing to launch the U.S. service in the near future, while Canadian national and regional carriers are in discussions to add FIGHT MOBILE to their mobile content. When fully deployed, FIGHT MOBILE has the potential of reaching over 220,000,000 (Two Hundred and Twenty Million) cell phones in North America.
"We put a lot of time and attention into building this application," said Mike Garrow President of The Fight Network. "We wanted FIGHT MOBILE to be the most important single source of news for all fight fans. I want to express our appreciation to our partners at Setanta Mobile and Trajectory Sports for their expertise in producing and managing mobile sports content internationally.

"Being the first ones in this market puts The Fight Network miles ahead of the competition."
FIGHT MOBILE also plans to move into the European and Asian markets via Setanta Mobile's strong relationships with mobile network operators in these markets. This can increase the potential cell phones with access to FIGHT MOBILE to over 500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million).
The worldwide mobile phone market presently serves approximately 2,000,000,000 (Two billion) users, with this number projected to double to 4,000,000,000 (Four billion) in the next two years, according to published research reports.
