Business Editors

PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2000

Gilat Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ; GICOF) reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, which showed substantial revenue growth of 111 percent to $ 19.0 million in the second quarter, from $9.0 million in the same quarter of 1999.

Total revenues increased to $33.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $15.5 million in the same period of 1999.

Net loss for the second quarter was $3.7 million (-$0.31 per share), compared to a net income of $1.3 million ($0.12 per share) in the same period in 1999. Goodwill amortization included in the second quarter's financial results was $ 830,000 compared with $ 86,000 in the same period in 1999, mainly due to the recent acquisition of the company's subsidiaries and associated companies.

After one-time charges and goodwill amortization, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $11.8 million (-$0.95 per share), or $6.1 million (-$0.49 per share), when disregarding the one-time charges of $5.7 million, compared with a net income of $1.8 million ($0.17 per share) in the same period in 1999. Goodwill amortization included in the financial results was $ 1.4 million compared with $173,000 in the same period in 1999, mainly due to the recent acquisition of the company's subsidiaries and associated companies.

This is the first full quarter of the combined operations of Gilat's acquisitions in the US. During this quarter, sales and marketing efforts, which were required to combine the three US operations into Mentergy Inc. and transform it into a leading e-learning full solution provider, were increased. As a result, selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 239 percent to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $2.3 million in the same quarter of 1999. The revenue results from these efforts are expected to be reflected in future financial results this year.

Commenting on the quarter, Gilat CEO and Chairman, Mr. Shlomo Tirosh said, " This quarter was significant not only for our record results, but also because it marks Mentergy's first quarter of combined activity in the United States. Along with the significant increase in revenues, we are continuing our investment in the integration of our recent acquisitions. This trend is expected to continue throughout the third and fourth quarters of the 2000 financial year. We expect that, in addition to the revenue growth already demonstrated, these investments will enable the company to return to its historical profit levels in year 2001."

Noam Fink, Mentergy CEO said: "Mentergy is uniquely positioned in the U.S. market to offer end-to-end e-learning solutions utilizing its products, services and expertise. We are encouraged by the growing demand from the market for such offerings, and we will continue to strengthen our position and increase our market share by forming strategic alliances, and through the continuing development of new services and products."

The second quarter also saw the expansion of the Company's activities in international markets, such as the launching of the UK-based University of Derby's e-learning initiative, using our TrainNet Interactive Distance Learning platform, to bring thousands of hours of live lessons from five studios located in England to 24 remote classrooms in Israel, as well as John Bryce Training's expansion of its activities to Europe, first in Hungary and later to England through the recently announced acquisition of Aris UK. The acquisition is in line with John Bryce's plans to expand the provision of blended e-learning solutions in the international markets.

ATIS URGES COMMISSION TO ENSURE THAT ANY OUTAGE REPORTING FOR VOIP AND BROADBAND SERVICE PROVIDERS IS REASONABLE.

WASHINGTON -- The following information was released by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions:

The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) submitted comments on behalf of its Network Reliability Steering Committee (NRSC) in response to the Federal Communications Commission's Proposed Extension of Part 4 of the Commission's Rules Regarding Outage Reporting to Interconnected Voice Over Internet Protocol Service Providers and Broadband Internet Service Providers. ATIS to expressed its view that the proposed expansion of the Commission's outage reporting rules to interconnected voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service providers or broadband internet service providers (ISPs) is not warranted.

To the extent that the Commission does impose such reporting obligations on interconnected VoIP service providers and broadband ISPs, ATIS notes that these obligations must be reasonable. Therefore, ATIS urges the Commission to ensure that any data collected is already readily available to reporting entities via the normal network management process. ATIS also opposes reporting obligations that would require the submission of performance characteristic data, such as latency or jitter.

For interconnected VoIP service providers, ATIS recommends that any reporting be based on similar criteria as is currently used for other service providers under Part 4 of the Commission's Rules. However, ATIS strongly urges the Commission to modify its outage reporting criteria for all filers to reduce burdens by, among other things, requiring the submission of outage reports only for outages that last at least 120 minutes, rather than the current 30 minute threshold.

"As the preeminent industry subject matter experts on communications network reliability and outage reporting, the NRSC has made an in-depth consideration of the Commission's extension of Part 4 of the outage reporting rules," said Susan Miller, President and CEO, ATIS. "Its analysis shows that voluntary, collaborative efforts are more effective than regulatory mandates in fostering cooperation, promoting innovation, and providing the flexibility needed to meet new and evolving challenges associated with ensuring communications reliability."

Google gets hammered by monsters it created; Search neutrality: Solving a problem that doesn't exist.(COMMENTARY)

Byline: Matthew Sheffield, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES

You don't have to believe in karma to find the irony in the fact that the Web giant Google is finding itself in the cross hairs of the same pressure groups that it funded back when it was pushing heavily for network neutrality.

The latest cause celebre among this crowd is search neutrality, the idea that somehow the government needs to get into the business of Internet search engines.

After spending millions funding network-neutrality advocates when it was trying to pass along its bandwidth costs to consumers and companies such as Verizon and Comcast, Google is finding itself being opposed by its former allies, who are bent on finding another sector of the Internet to take over.

Beyond the Orwellian name similarity, search neutrality is the same concept as network neutrality except that instead of controlling cable Internet bills, the government would be controlling what you do or do not see when you pull up Bing or Google.

That may not seem like such a big deal at first because most of us couldn't remember the top hits for any of the search queries we use, but imagine if the concept were extended to other media: Instead of turning on the television and seeing the news your favorite TV or radio host has selected, you would see what the government told him he could say was the most important.

Not even the most ardent Fairness Doctrine supporters would advocate for this governmental intrusion into media. Search-neutrality supporters don't realize that the trust we give to people like Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow to help us find the important news is the exact type of trust we give to search engines to retrieve the search results most relevant to what we're seeking.

Search-neutrality advocates are correct that there is no way we can know to what degree our results are colored by our search site's corporate ties or opinions, but that is hardly an argument for the government to insert itself into the search. After all, as legal scholar Eric Goldman recently noted at a conference on this subject sponsored by the libertarian think tank TechFreedom, no one is calling for the government to intervene in off-line media. We have no clue how newspapers decide what stories to print and where to print them, but we still can evaluate the papers and decide if it's of quality to us.

That certainly seems to be happening in the realm of search, where the Microsoft-owned Bing powered about 32 percent of searches in the past 12 months, according to Web statistics firm ComScore. There are many reasons for this, but surely one of them is that Bing sometimes is more useful in the results it returns. If Google continues to get the bad press it has received of late for leaning leftward in its policies, hiring and donations, there's no doubt it will lose market share from right-leaning Americans in the same way that CNN, the inventor of cable news, has lost much of its audience to Fox News Channel. Were Google to really skew results in favor of its many subsidiary sites, it also would lose market share if it made them less useful compared to Bing. If Google really got bad at skewing results, there are plenty of restraint-of-trade and anti-monopoly laws on the books to put a stop to it.

Dramatic government intervention in the search-engine market is also unlikely to be effective, largely because all the major services routinely recalibrate their indexing algorithms to block the influence of spammers whose goal is to move illegitimate sites higher up in search rankings. Glacial government has no chance at keeping up with such a frenetic pace. Even if it were able to do so, we have no indication that bureaucratic fiats would be any more effective at keeping our search results fair than the Fairness Doctrine was able to keep bias out of network television news.

Like its hardware-based predecessor network neutrality, search neutrality is a solution in search of a problem. There is no evidence of any widespread consumer need or request for the government to insert itself into our Web searches.

Matthew Sheffield is president of Dialog New Media.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively.

Research from University of Auckland Yields New Findings on Depression.

"Many schools engage in health promotion, health interventions, and services aimed at improving the health and well-being outcomes for students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of schools on student health risk-taking behaviors and depressive symptoms," scientists writing in the Journal of Adolescent Health report.

"A nationally representative sample (n = 9,056) of students from 96 secondary schools completed a health and well-being survey using Internet Tablets that included questions on school climate, health risk-taking behaviors, and mental health. Teachers (n = 2,901) and school administrators (n = 91) completed questionnaires on aspects of the school climate which included teacher well-being and burnout, the staff work environment, health and welfare services for students, and school organizational support for student health and well-being. Multilevel models were used to estimate school effects on the health risk-taking behaviors and depression symptoms among students. Schools where students reported a more positive school climate had fewer students with alcohol use problems, and fewer students engaging in violence and risky motor vehicle behaviors. Schools where teachers reported better health and welfare services for students had fewer students engaging in unsafe sexual health behaviors. Schools where teachers reported higher levels of well-being had fewer students reporting significant levels of depressive symptoms. More positive school climates and better school health and welfare services are associated with fewer health risk-taking behaviors among students," wrote S.J. Denny and colleagues, University of Auckland.

The researchers concluded: "However, the overall school effects were modest, especially for cigarette use and suicidal behaviors."

Denny and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Adolescent Health (Do Schools Influence Student Risk-taking Behaviors and Emotional Health Symptoms? Journal of Adolescent Health, 2011;48(3):259-267).

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
