The CEO/Pres./Director has been buying lately. A little over 60K shares in the past few days. IMO, these buys do not look unusual for him so I don't put much weight on it.

Standard & Poor's Initiates Factual Stock Report Coverage on mPhase Technologies, Inc.
Monday June 23, 4:02 pm ET

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Standard & Poor’s announced today that it has commenced Factual Stock Report coverage on mPhase Technologies, Inc.

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (BB: XDSL), in the development stage as of Mar. 31, 2008, is a technology development company. Recently, its efforts have focused primarily on the application of nanotechnology and microfluidics to improve battery performance.

The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary AlwaysReady, Inc., is developing its Smart NanoBattery, a reserve lithium battery designed for portable electronics. mPhase believes that this patented technology marks a significant advancement in the storage and management of energy. AlwaysReady has discovered a new way to separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes to keep the battery fully charged until the user activates the battery, allowing it to be stored for decades without losing energy. The company refers to the Smart NanoBattery's approach to power management as Power on Command.

According to mPhase, the Smart NanoBattery is the first reserve lithium battery with virtually infinite shelf life, automatic, manual or remote activation, and with the size and versatility to meet the needs of the emerging portable electronics industry. Its design offers environmentally friendly options and its long-term storage capabilities reduce waste that is often generated from the disposal of traditional batteries that discharge or die prior to use.

mPhase's patented AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery first-generation product is being developed for emergency equipment and memory backup applications. There are various commercial and military applications that can benefit from the Smart NanoBattery, ranging from unmanned sensors, emergency flashlights and alarms to backup power for cell phones, and medical and health alert devices.

I've been watching this too, Cat. It bucked the short term trendline. Maybe if it breaks the 6 month one (around .067) people will take notice.

mPhase On Technology Thought Leadership Panel At Smart Grid Implementation Summit
May 8, 2009

Little Falls, NJ - mPhase Technologies, Inc. recently announced their participation in the upcoming Smart Grid Implementation Summit from August 17-19 in Washington D.C. mPhase CEO Ron Durando will be on the Technology Thought Leadership Panel with other technology innovators in the smart grid field. So far, joining Mr. Durando on the panel is Bob Gilligan, VP of General Electric Energy Transmission and Distribution. The session will take place on August 19 at 8:15 AM and will be moderated by Branko Terzic, Regulatory Policy Leader -- Energy & Resources at Deloitte.

The Thought Leadership Panel will discuss the future of smart grids and highlight some of the cutting edge technologies that are preparing for the full scale deployment of smart grid initiatives surrounding the following topic areas: infrastructure, metering, communications, batteries and renewable energy sources. Mr. Durando will be representing mPhase to discuss state-of-the art technology developments that could contribute to smart grid implementation.

The Smart Grid Implementation Summit promotes action among the electric power utility companies, policy stakeholders and smart grid technology companies on electric grid modernization by demonstrating clear impacts and benefits of leading smart grid pilots. The Summit addresses major challenges facing the smart grid industry in managing demand response technology, navigating the policy landscape, promoting interoperable standards, addressing customer privacy and cyber security concerns, and evaluating smart grid performance and impact on existing assets and operations.

mPhase was invited to participate in the event because of the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in developing the Smart NanoBattery which has several potential uses relating to smart grids. Power grids require power monitors and sensors to be located throughout the grid as a means of collecting data and transmitting information to the computer systems that manage and regulate the grid's flow of electricity. In many cases, these sensor devices will be powered by individual batteries. The mPhase Smart NanoBattery is an attractive power source that could be used to provide primary or emergency back up power to these remote sensors. In certain low power drain devices, the Smart NanoBattery can potentially provide continuous power for up to 20 years uninterrupted. If utilized as a reserve power source, the Smart NanoBattery would automatically begin powering the device if the primary power source failed. This could potentially reduce the possibility of a service interruption.

"It is an honor to receive the invitation to participate in the Technology Thought Leadership Panel," said mPhase CEO Ron Durando. "I look forward to meeting with key figures in the smart grid arena as we work toward utilizing our Smart NanoBattery to contribute to future smart grid implementation. mPhase is aggressively pursuing stimulus funding that would aide the implementation of our technology." The most recent stimulus package has set aside $4.5B for smart grid technology advancements.

Beware of penny stocks touting big name lab connections
Posted Dec 16th 2007 1:10PM by Zac Bissonnette
Filed under: Marketing and advertising, Scandals

In the past, I've written about mPhase Technologies (OTC: XDSL), an obscure penny stock that has been touting its technology on YouTube, and has hired Jonathan Lebed, who settled stock manipulation charges with the SEC as a teenager, to pump its stocks.

Oh, and the CEO, Ronald Durando, recently signed a consent decree with the SEC and agreed to forfeit $150 thousand in gains derived from an alleged pump-and-dump involving a now defunct company called PacketPort.

Given that series of red flags, why have investors given mPhase, a company with a long history of big losses, a market valuation of nearly $25 million? At least part of it probably stems from the companies much-hyped research it is conducting at Bell Labs.

A piece in Sunday's New York Times talks about this trend of companies conducting research at universities. It's a great deal for the labs for one reason -- they get paid:

A vanguard group of universities is giving corporations greater access to ivory-tower laboratories -- for a price. Stanford has paired with Exxon Mobil in a deal worth $100 million over 10 years. The University of California, Davis, is getting $25 million from Chevron. And Intel has opened collaborative laboratories with Berkeley, the University of Washington and Carnegie Mellon.
Of course, big companies are setting up research partnerships with universities for access to their labs and minds. But an unscrupulous penny stock promoter can easily find a lab willing to take some money to allow it to conduct some sort of research there -- and then promote it in press releases, dumping the stock on an unsuspecting public.

Bottom line: When evaluating a stock, look for earnings, sales, and good corporate governance. Don't be impressed by big-name connections, licensing agreements, and "deals."
