Ho ho. I hope this share falls to peanuts.

This technology could be cumbersome and may be achieved in a much more elegant and efficient manner. Why the silence?

i sold my holding shortly after the float in march this year (shares were part of the rgo holding). i posted at the time that these things take a lot longer to implement than you think and there was no real visibility of earnings. I've since sold my rgo shares some time back as well.

If i compare the two companies then it seems to me that rgo is now worth buying again and is below the price when they issued a profit warning despite the reassurances on meeting the original targets set for this year so i would have expected rgo to move back toward 230p mark. Imo rgo is good value and worth buying at present.

Broca on the other hand has released very little/no real news and few contracts appear to have been signed so as i said no earnings visibility. When i sold I said i would review things when it got to 50p but my guess is it will continue to drift down further so i'm still out.

I had shares in datacash and averaged down many times before they began to show earnings visibility since then they have continued to generate cash by the bucket load but it did take time for internet payment systems to establish themselves and it will be the same with this.

The difficulty is predicting where the bottom will be in order to make an
entry.

AMENDED: Two new Aim entrants, Monitise and Broca, are offering alternative ways to capitalise on the emerging but risky market for mobile banking and payments Tim Bradshaw

In the original version of this item, published 11 July 2007, we stated a market capitalisation for Monitise that was incorrect. We also published figures from Investec that were calculated prior to a secondary share placement. This version of the item removes the reference to market value and the Investec figures.

Two new Aim floats, Broca and Monitise, are offering investors exposure to the emerging area of mobile finance. And although the market is still largely unproven, both companies are making early headway in securing partnerships in the mobile operator and financial communities.

Broca, which demerged from mobile technology provider 2ergo in March, saw its shares leap 20 per cent last week when it announced that Vodafone had agreed to resell its Secure Advanced Messaging Service (SAMS). This technology could have many applications - for example, it could be used to encrypt credit card details in text messages or for event ticketing.

Monitise, by contrast, is firmly focused on banking. Its UK business is a joint venture with cash machine operator LINK, initially providing balance checking and mobile top-up services. Chief executive Alastair Lukies is positioning his service as a fifth banking service channel, alongside ATMs and branches. He has said that its 20p-per-service charge will be dropped for the rest of the year.

But while this removes one barrier, many more remain - not least the common stumbling block of making the services too hard to use. Ovum analyst Vincent Poulbere warns that many similar ventures have failed because they have not added anything to the existing capabilities of online banking or, indeed, to wallets.

So what are the prospects? Monitise's shares have fallen since it demerged from Morse in June, as Morse shareholders were unwilling (or, in the case of many institutions, unable) to invest in the smaller and riskier company. But it is well backed by the UK banking sector, with partnerships with eight banks (five of whom are part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group), and customer numbers are growing by 1,000 per day.

KBC Peel Hunt analyst Andrew Darley warns that Broca could face competition in mobile payments from the new PayForIt system. This system, which is being promoted by the mobile operators, uses the mobile internet rather than text messaging to make payments for content or downloads. Broca's messaging-based technology could therefore struggle if PayForIt becomes widely used.

Both investments are highly speculative, but of the two we prefer Broca as its technology has a broader range of potential applications. Monitise's partnerships put it way ahead of competitors in mobile banking, but the need for its service is yet to be established.

Announcement of new contract this morning seems to have arrested the recently slip back in the share price.

Broca, the provider of secure advanced messaging technology, announces that it has signed a contract with Socratos (UK) Limited ("Socratos") to act as a
reseller for its innovative Secure Advanced Message Service (SAMS). This
acheivement represents the fourth such agreement, in addition to the three
agreements announced at the time of the demerger of Broca from 2ergo Group plc.
The existing agreements are with 2ergo Group plc ("2ergo"), Rapide
Communications and Infinite Solutions Limited.

read this in itweek:

Digital communications firm Broca has launched a new SMS application designed to give retailers and service providers a sales and marketing channel and an easier way of communicating with customers.

The Secure Advanced Messaging Service (SAMS) application features patented cyclical encryption technology that does not rely on PKI-style exchange of keys, and ensures that any confidential information on the handset cannot be found or intercepted in transmission, said Broca's managing director, Ian Price.

Firms could use the technology to create branded forms through simple APIs and deliver them via text message to customers. Customers can fill in these forms, which could include simple drop-down menus or tick-boxes, to buy goods or services, Price added.

PIN numbers and passwords can also be registered to secure authentication before using credit cards and other sensitive data.

"The protocol is pretty broad ranging. We're looking at it as the way to bring commerce to the handset, so people can pay for things on the move," said Price.

Because the protocol is well known and ubiquitous it could prove popular with consumers, Price added. Potential applications could facilitate e-ticketing, e-voting and mobile banking, including two-factor authentication.

"The range of applications is wherever there's a requirement for secure communications or data capture," said Price. "It could also be used by enterprises to send simple secure messages. Some customers are looking to using it for market research questionnaires."

Chris Barling, chief executive of e-commerce specialist Actinic, argued that m-commerce has not taken off because most consumers can wait until they get home to purchase items.

"As far as the UK is concerned, m-commerce has not happened. Distance purchasing is a considered thing because you have to wait for it to be delivered anyway. The fundamental problem is that the device is too small," Barling said.

However, Barling highlighted

e-ticketing as one area where impulse buyers might use the SAMS service. The ticket could be texted back to the consumer with a unique signifier or bar code to provide entry to an event.

-thanks for your thoughts
-yes, you have to spot the trend of development and marry that to the share price, no denying that.

-although it is early days for BROC, they do at least have a few contracts (three) plus the letter of intent from Vodafone, so they are out of the starting block.

-we will just have to see how the share price does from here.
