Ist ja eigentlich ne Skandalbude, aber jeder Internetprovider aus Asien wird hochgezockt.
Gruss E.
As ReachDSL continues to prove itself around the world as the only DSL solution that truly enables broadband to the masses, regardless of the line condition and with the longest reach, Paradyne must respond to the rapidly-increasing worldwide demand. New Paradyne offices are opening worldwide, including offices in Athens, Greece; Pretoria, South Africa; Moscow, Russia and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Announces that it has signed a contract with one of China Unicom's major subsidiaries, Jiangsu
Unicom to provide the carrier with a convergent customer care and billing system.
Ich lese CBS nicht mehr täglich, taucht ASIA bei Movers und Shakers auf?
Gruss E.
Ansonsten gibts noch das Business Wire
Aber Vorsicht - morgen gibt es Zahlen! Ansonsten könnte man doch schnell mal eben das Gap schließen, oder?
Gruss E.
Werde mal langsam einsteigen.

Das letzte Quartal war nicht berauschend. Dieses lag vor allem an zwei Dingen.
1. USD hat zur Rupie deutlich aufgewertet. Dieses sollte jetzt vorbei sein. Der USD sollte eher wieder abwerten.
2. Die größten Werbepartner -Banken und Arbeitsvermittler spüren die Konjunktureintrübung und verringern ihre Werbebudgets. Dieses dürfte sich ebenfalls wieder erholen.
Als eine der Big 5 in einem schnell wachsenden Internetmarkt mit sehr viel Potenzial sollte Rediff nicht lange auf diesem Niveau (2 USD) notieren.
Verstehe die Kursentwicklung nicht. Das Unternehmen ist kerngfesund und arbeitet mit Gewinn.

Rediff.com Reports Results for the 3rd Quarter Ended December 31, 2008
MUMBAI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“The October-December 2008 quarter saw the international financial crisis come full force to the domestic Indian economy and this is reflected in a sharp decline in online advertising spending, particularly from other online companies in the travel, jobs, credit card, and real estate sectors. In addition some companies in these sectors face liquidity challenges. These developments are reflected in our financial results for this quarter in both lower revenues (and consequent lower gross margins) and higher than normal provisions for doubtful accounts. Our revenue numbers were also impacted by a 23% year on year average depreciation of the Indian Rupee vis-à-vis the US dollar,” said Ajit Balakrishnan, Chairman and CEO, Rediff.com.
We are responding to these developments in several ways: by reducing operating expenses, by cutting back on development projects that have long payback periods, and by re-allocating resources away from “nice-to-have” services to those which we believe will make a tangible difference in the coming months.
Thus continuing investments on initiatives such as game development have been halted and assets created thus far have been impaired and this is reflected in the operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
On the other hand, investments in mobile, local search and Indian language services have been stepped up. Thus we have recently launched our website, http://world.rediff.com, specifically designed for mobile phones like iPhone, Android, Blackberry and others and a service aimed at users with low bandwidth connections (www.webinmail.com). We feel the continuing need to make such investments as the Indian market continues to grow and evolve in the direction of increased mobile phone based access (with 3G services expected to roll out in India), more diversity of access through 22 Indian languages, and as tools like social networking get adapted for utility-type services. To support these and other growth initiatives we may spend between $500,000 and $1 million on advertising and promotion per quarter over the next few quarters.
Our video, music and photo sharing site, ishare.rediff.com, saw strong growth during this quarter and the first few experimental video ads started running on it. Our personal investment channel, Moneywiz, also saw good growth during this quarter. We have enhanced it by adding near-real time stock price feeds from the Bombay Stock Exchange.
We are acutely aware of the need to conserve cash in this difficult environment. Our cash balance at the end of the quarter stood at around $47 million.
Further details of Rediff.com’s results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2008 are appended in tabular form to this press release. A presentation and the script of the earnings result conference call held on January 23, 2008 will also be made available on Rediff’s Investor Information website at investor.rediff.com.

Non-GAAP Measures Note
Operating EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses, impairments related to discontinued capital projects, property plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill are the non-GAAP measures in this press release. These measurements are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Operating EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations prior to adjustments for depreciation / amortization, non-recurring items and other income or expense and tax. However, other companies may calculate operating EBITDA differently. Operating EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of cash flow from operations. We have included information concerning operating EBITDA in this press release because management and our board of directors use it as a measure of our performance. In addition, future investment and capital allocation decisions are based on operating EBITDA. Investors and industry analysts use operating EBITDA to measure the Company’s performance to historic results and our peer group. The reconciliation between operating EBITDA and net income (loss), the GAAP measure, is as follows:
RECONCILIATION FROM OPERATING EBITDA TO NET INCOME
QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

Net (Loss) / Income (GAAP) (2.75) 1.00
Non-GAAP operating expenses represent our operating expenses comprised of sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative expenses net of depreciation and amortization. We have used the non-GAAP operating expense to compute our operating EBITDA. A reconciliation of the GAAP operating expense to non-GAAP operating expense is as follows:
RECONCILIATION FROM GAAP TO NON-GAAP OPERATING EXPENSES
