So much for the merger taking 12 months as suggested by the ORCA board members at the analyst presentation.

[ericthecat] 30/3/2006 12:33

This was released in Nov 2005, so what I am saying is that Industria have always been part of the solution but developed a very personalised service in Zignal nwhich runs with opera and orca and follows on from the magnet announcements in january 06 opera and orca announcement with opera in feb 06, but I will try to find out for sure.

[ericthecat] 30/3/2006 10:50

hmmm.....regarding zignal, I would not discount ORCA working as part of the solution. I have tried to find out but can not say one way or another if Zignal which is part of Industria works with ORCA and opera within the Magnet solution. It does seem like a add on to me, but I will try and get clarification from BLZ?

It would also explain why ORCA partnered and had the s/w implememented with opera in february 2006 i.e as part of the magnet solution?

Don't worry HT its results day on the 30th March; or did they try to run before the could walk

[hotfinance14] 29/3/2006 20:09

I the current market Orca should be signing far more contracts.

[colinhy] 29/3/2006 18:33

Eric,
I agree with HT, Orca are not winning contract extensions.

For example in Dec 2004 Orca announced agreement with Industria, to provide a turnkey IPTV service solution to Magnet Networks, a new next-generation triple-play operator in Dublin, Ireland.




Then in March 2006 Industria announce Magnet Networks are using Zignal middleware

[ericthecat] 29/3/2006 16:02

HF, you do not know what you are on about, optibase works with ORCA! But as the following article suggests the middleware is infogate, but that has yet to be announced. The involvement of HP may favour ORCA but who knows? What is good news is that Microsoft lose out!



No announcements here

[meisun] 29/3/2006 15:53

Don´t doubt anymore, good picks info

[hotfinance14] 29/3/2006 15:53

We are losing loads of contracts.Not good news.

I am beginning to give up hope, but here is another one.

[ericthecat] 29/3/2006 09:01

Yes but they are the middleware for this

[colinhy] 28/3/2006 18:13

[ericthecat] 27/3/2006 00:16

A new set top box maker added to ORCAs web site.

[ericthecat] 27/3/2006 00:09

A good review of the current industry and why ORCA have found it hard.

Tone Is that 36p weak or lower.

[tone] 24/3/2006 14:09

Thanks Eric but what you reported on the BLZ thread sound positive, I am looking to buy more on weakness; the MCAP is lower than the cash in the bank !!

[ericthecat] 24/3/2006 10:07

Just listened to the analysts presentation, interesting they are going round the institutions next week and analyst note out next week, will tell you more later when I have time;-)

[tone] 24/3/2006 10:05

It looks weak at present just like KIB, I reckon Eli will buy back them all
tell the truth BB not the time for small companies; with the big boys merging
its about market share rather than growth; Big boys will wipe the floor as
they become more effective and competitive

I am starting to hope Packet Video will make a bid for BLZ group as their business model seems to be proven;

Blz results will be the test

[britishbear] 24/3/2006 09:54

Very poor results - in this fast moving market to increase revenues by just £0.1m.

Anyone got the NAV? How much is the cash per share? 30p?

[tone] 24/3/2006 07:04

BIG PROFIT MARGINS ERIC WAS RIGHT

[colinhy] 22/3/2006 07:42

Nothing for ORCA again
