Thats if somebody doesn't make blz an offer they can not refuse? This share price will at least double over the next 12 months?

[hotfinance14] 04/3/2006 16:22

The above could be a great money earner for Orca.

IBM is looking at India in a big way. According to other sources, the company is also looking at a viable model to introduce its IPTV in India.



IBM, Orca Partner on IPTV

Cash is around $20M see last trading statement, so its trading at cash! All that technology for free!

They have two serious competitors Microsoft ( biggest but have had technology problems ) and Siemens ( purchased mineva to get in the middleware market)I do believe ORCA had the best solution but Microsoft had all the sway.

The market stalled last year hence the drop in revenues against forcast, but it got hammered in the share price, 120 down to 60p. I beleive it was overdone and when the contracts start to be announced you will see a move back up to £1+, there are 4 shows alone in March and more over the next few months, if ORCA don't announce some contracts then "I will eat my hat."

First show on monday;-) and have bought my shares

how much cash do you think Orca have left on the balance sheet, I guess around 11-12 million? Market cap is around 20m, came to market with cap of 30+m. Given the potential growth market they operate in, and given the fact that any growth market attracts competition, is the share price about right? What is the competition to Orca currently?

Plenty of market opportunities for ORCA and its partners.

Consolidation will be ramping up because explosive growth is expected in the industry, he reasoned. "It's a very quickly growing market, and it will probably grow tenfold over the next five years or so," he predicted (ABI Principle Analyst for Broadband and Multimedia Research Michael Arden).

A really good back ground read

[ericthecat] 02/3/2006 13:23

Looks like others think iptv will take off this year

[ericthecat] 02/3/2006 13:13

Why do I think ORCAs latest partner is so important? Streaming21 is a Chinese company and I added their link to the header at the top of the page. ORCA has just been working with them why? My guess is they have a trial/contract in China and I hope it is with China Netcom who selected Reback (see above)



Make no mistake China will be huge!

[ericthecat] 02/3/2006 11:12

Another one I expect ORCA to announce this year.

China Netcom Selects Redback for IPTV
China Netcom's Heilongjiang Communications division is deploying Redback Networks' SmartEdge 800 Service Gateways in Harbin, the provincial capital. The SmartEdge platform will be used for new broadband services such as IPTV and Video on Demand as well as advanced business services such as Virtual Private Networks over MPLS. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Heilongjiang Communications , together with Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong and Inner Mongolia, is now the fifth major China Netcom subsidiary utilizing Redback equipment to build their broadband IP infrastructures.

Some good background from another ORCA partner

[ericthecat] 02/3/2006 11:07

Another that has integrated ORCAs s/w

[ericthecat] 02/3/2006 10:54

This could well include ORCA aswell as they have both integrated ORCAs s/w into their systems

[robow] 01/3/2006 19:57

thanks for all your updates eric

[ericthecat] 01/3/2006 19:54

Redback were one of the first to integrate orcas s/w into their solution and this led to Nokia as they are so close to redback , here is your link. Now check the others in the header ZTE ect ORCA will really take off this year. Last years delayed contracts will now happen just watch them March through to June and all the show an events they are doing. I can see the share price doubling this year. The results are priced in so its up from here. The 10k bought today was my last lot I am now happy to watch em go.



as I said KPN is ORCAs ;-)

[integer] 01/3/2006 19:44

Re: the Lucent news:-

"Lucent Worldwide Services is integrating Redback Networks' (NASDAQ: RBAK) IPTV hardware and software into KPN´s broadband access network and conducting maintenance services for the IPTV section of the network. "

This would suggest at first sight that Orca aren't involved. Does anyone know if RBAK has a relationship with Orca and its actually an integrated RighTV solution?

IP Video Market Consolidation Will Have Far-Reaching Impact, Says ABI Research

Recent M&A announcements in this space include Cisco's acquisition of Scientific-Atlanta, Motorola's plans to acquire Kreatel, Tandberg's planned purchase of SkyStream, and Thomson's announced intent to buy Thales. Other newer players, that may also be looking to acquire or partner IPTV specialists, include HP, IBM, Nortel and Lucent.

What companies might be in their crosshairs?

Orca Interactive
Kasenna
Bitband
Optibase
2Wire
Entone

All are attractive targets for acquisition. Most of them have relationships with system vendors, and have established notable presences in the telco TV market.

[ericthecat] 01/3/2006 12:42

Surley this will be ORCAs next announcement.

[istanbully] 21/2/2006 15:40

talk about flat liners. I lost count of the number of days this share has not moved

[ericthecat] 21/2/2006 10:14

added a couple of new partners to the header Humax and streaming21.
