Is it true re: Ziptel leasing the technology? According to their website they have developed and "wholly own" the technology.

Ziptel first came onto my radar when its SP was 0.40. Since I was not very familiar with the company and various contradictory comments were available, I thought best to monitor the company periodically.

Obviously, in hindsight, it would have been extremely profitable (in terms of capital gain) if I had purchased stock at that entry point. But risk profile was not clear at that point in time.

I am looking at making a purchase into the stock as it seems well placed, with the global launch and well-positioned marketing, to make more gains (even if more modestly in terms of rate), but I would intend to hold the stock for the next few years at least.

One other query I have which fellow forum users may provide some insight: In terms of the current moat of comparative advantage possessed by Ziptel seems to be their excellent use of bandwidth and applicability into markets which are less developed, what happens if/when 2G and 3G technologies are switched off at various points in time where some are touting could be as early as 2016, whilst others 2020? I would presume that Ziptel would then strive to develop similar compression programs into technologies of the time. Otherwise, Ziptel would only be a medium term investment opportunity at best.

Any thoughts?? Thanking all replies in advance for their appreciated input.

From what I understood, ZipTel bought the original app around a year ago, then have been developing the ZipT app. So, they claimed "wholly own" the technology.
They might still use the original developer.

You might need to seek clarification from the company.
