Dass da aber ein Betreiber eines Aktien-Boards wie Yahoo die Berichterstattung über diese Entwicklung bei einem betrachteten Unternehmen seines Aktien-Boards blockiert, ist in meinen Augen eine Manipulation.
Find the difference between the newest version and older version!
Newest Version: The company is implementing its nQuery solution with a top five global carrier. nQuery is already deployed with a major U.S. mobile carrier, 18 international and prepaid MVNOs and 10,000 U.S. hotels.
Older Version: Through these partnerships Local Corporation expects to power search for a major U.S. mobile carrier, 18 international and prepaid MVNOs and over 10,000 U.S. hotels.
You are right - new is the implementing of nQuery solution with a top five global carrier .
Our initial nQuery relationships are expected to give Local Corporation potentially significant market share in the Tier II mobile phone carrier marketplace and contribute significant incremental revenue later this year and into 2015.
Our innovation efforts are advancing with great strides. This quarter in the mobile segment of our business we achieved a major milestone with the launch of nQuery™, our new white-label search experience that opens up the market for mobile carriers and other enterprise partners to participate in revenue from mobile search. Our initial nQuery relationships are expected to give Local Corporation potentially significant market share in the Tier II mobile phone carrier marketplace and contribute significant incremental revenue later this year and into 2015. Mobile is the fastest growing segment of search, according to BIA/Kelsey, as mobile local ad revenues are projected to more than triple over the next five years, reaching $15.7 billion in 2018.
“As we move through the second half of 2014 and into 2015, our new product releases are expected to drive incremental top-line growth and improved profitability. We remain excited about the large opportunities ahead of us in the local search space."

This kind of ecosystem that combines carrier hotel/interconnection with data center capacity so that a variety of network types -- public, private, wireless, wireline cable and satellite -- come together with access to content and applications is becoming critical to many markets, he adds.

We're at the beginning of a major digital transformation - the advent of the Internet of Things. How will you adapt and react to the new technology available?
I was recently asked by a digital marketing research firm to provide comments for an upcoming report on the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) for digital marketing. While I've been fascinated by the exploding world of wearables, sensors, and connected objects, I hadn't yet had the chance to dive in. I jumped at the opportunity.
I won't go into detail on what IoT is or how the world of connected objects has the potential to disrupt almost every business on the planet. Nor will I predict the winner of the wearables war or rant about the usefulness of a connected slow cooker - it's high! But I will share my thoughts on how marketers must begin to prepare for a world where we - and our competitors - have access to remarkable streams of high-value customer data and bear the responsibilities that come with it.

Facebook's new tips for Places puts it in competition with Foursquare
blogger-avatar by Nicole Lee | @nicole | January 29th 2015 at 1:00 pm
If you've ever found yourself in a new restaurant or a trendy tourist spot, you might've looked up Yelp or Foursquare -- or, heaven forbid, used Google -- on your phone to find out where the best view is or whether or not you should order the shrimp. Now, you might not need to, as long as you have Facebook installed. That's because the company has just introduced something called "Place Tips," which, when enabled, essentially pops up relevant content about your location as long as you're there. Specifically, it'll show posts and photos about the place from your friends if they've also visited it. The feature sounds very similar to what Foursquare already does with its own Tips, but with a much more Facebook-centric bent.

Ähnlich argumentiert auch im folgenden der Forbes-Autor.
A SeekingAlpha post highlighting a patent the company received this month called “System for providing localized shopping information.” The patent, originally filed in 2007, but just granted, sounds a lot like Groupon and other local deals sites.
“A localization service is provided that provides users with online information on local retailers that sell particular products,” the patent abstract says. “A user can perform a search using a web page associated with the localization service or by searching using an internet search engine. The user’s search includes a search origin. The search origin may be defined in terms of location information such as a place name or a postal code. A search for a particular product at local retailers may be made using search parameters such as search origins, product names, model numbers, product categories, and product attributes. The localization service may provide the user with search results in the form of web pages that list which retailers sell the desired product in the vicinity of the search origin. A targeted advertisement server at the localization service may use display criteria to determine which targeted advertisements should be displayed for the user.”

Der ungünstigste Fall wäre hier sicher, wenn bei dem momentanen Kursniveau diese 5 Millionen durch die Ausgabe neuer Aktien finanziert werden müssten - dazu wären, wenn man von den annähernd 5 Millionen Cash nichts nimmt, die Ausgabe von 7 Millionen Aktien beim momentanen niedrigen Kursniveau notwendig. Das würde bei insgesamt 23 Millionen Aktien zu einer gewissen Verwässerung führen, da die Aktienzahl um ca. 30% steigen würde.
Ein sehr viel bessere Lösung wäre aus meiner Sicht eine Monetarisierung der fünf Pay-Per-Call-Patente (insgesamt hat man momentan 13 Patente), weil man diese Patente auch nicht annähernd ausnützen kann und sie für einen Erwerber sehr viel wertvoller wären, der größer ist und größere finanzielle Spielräume hat.
What I not can understand is, that the CFO had not sold about 2.5 millon shares for about $1.80 three month ago
May be there exist better alternatives, for example monetizations of patents or others - and I am sure, that the CFO of Local Corp can explain us, why he had wait.
The securities being offered may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the
prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected at various times in one or more
of the following transactions, or in other kinds of transactions:
• through underwriters for resale to the public or investors;
• transactions on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities
association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
• in the over-the-counter market;
• in private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
• in “at the market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, to or through a
market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
• in connection with short sales of the shares;
• by pledge to secure debt and other obligations;
• through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
• in connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange-traded call options, in hedge transactions and in settlement of other transactions in
standardized or over-the-counter options;
• through a combination of any of the above transactions; or
• any other method permitted by law. We may sell our securities directly to one or more purchasers, or to or through underwriters, dealers or agents or through a combination of those methods.
The related prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of each offering, including:
• the name or names of any agents, dealers, underwriters or investors who purchase the securities;
• the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
• the amount of any compensation, discounts commissions or fees to be received by the underwriters, dealer or agents;
• any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
• any securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed;
• the terms of any indemnification provisions, including indemnification from liabilities under the federal securities laws; and
• the nature of any transaction by an underwriter, dealer or agent during the offering that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the
securities.

CEO Thiel "We have identified hundreds of websites and applications that we believe infringe upon this patent and believe there are likely thousands more. We have set a clear course to begin the process of licensing this patent and expect to continue to report the results of these monetization efforts with greater frequency. Overall, we currently believe that a conservative estimate of potential future licensing fees that could be generated from this patent is $100 Million."
