bY STEVE IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION! is pleased to announce that it has signed a seven year International Syndication Agreement with Spartan Bay. Under the agreement Spartan Bay will generate additional revenues for IC Places by syndicating and distributing IC Places programming to television, DVD, in-flight and educational outlets worldwide.
I never offered price projections so not sure what you mean by that.
Using the Ezvip time frame you are referring to (which was May of this year) and saying since then "we did not see any action to change it." I vigorously disagree with you. Here are the facts.
In May of this year we owned 350 city websites and produced one weekly TV 
Show which ran On-Demand in 6 cities on Bright House Networks and clips of the show ran in 4,000 restaurants.
Today...
We own 350 Cities site.
We now own a Broadcast Television Network.
We produce many TV shows for our own network which is over twice the size in households as Bright House.
We now have expanded our Out-of-Home to 300 million viewers per month by adding our deal with PRN (a Technicolor Company)
We have increased our book value by 70 times.
We have began airing our two of our TV shows with our partners Clear Chanel over the ClearVision Airport Network. This partnership will expand viewership of our shows to 260 airports at every single gate. This expansion will happen over the next few years.
We have added members to our Board of Advisors which include some of the top creative people in Hollywood.
These are just some of the advancements we have made since May of this year. Any one of these things would be a game changer for most companies.
As far as going to the Grays, that is not possible. We have never missed a Quarterly report have been fully reporting for years.
