Manuel Asensio Report: Dec. 06, 1996 Cellular Technical Services possesses no valuable technology. |
Manuel Asensio and Asensio & Company, Inc. ("Asensio") believe that investors may be discounting the obvious limited size of the cellular RF fingerprinting market believing that CTSC's technology assures that it will gain a dominant share and then develop other valuable services that will utilize its embedded system. However, Manuel Asensio and Asensio maintain that CTSC does not possess any RF technology or any other telecommunication patents. Its system is based on the Boeing Co.'s Ferell patent, which relies on "turn on transient" technology that was evaluated and discarded by its competitor two years before CTSC's license.
Manuel Asensio and Asensio further report that cellular operators who purchase an RF fingerprinting system will also have to implement the A-Key system, which comes standard on all new analog cellular phones. CTSC's system must provide its customers with sufficient actual cost savings that justify the implementation investment in a very short period of time. According to Manuel Asensio and Asensio CTSC's competitor has generated sufficient savings to justify this double implementation expenditure and has plans that use its technology for add-on services. CTSC's customers have not reported any actual fraud cost savings.
Manuel Asensio and Asensio believe CTSC has grossly over estimated both its current and long term sales potential, its potential market share, the overall market size and its ability to utilize its projected embedded base. Manuel Asensio and Asensio believe this explains its market valuation, which is over four (4) times greater than its competitor. Manuel Asensio and Asensio also believe this explains management's decision to sell substantial portion of their stock.
