Stock Symbol : VOYT Coverage Initiated: May 8th, 2008 Current Price: $0.11 Avg. Volume (3 mo): 730,500 52 Week Range: $0.05 - $0.90 Market Cap: $13.9 M  With the market finally starting to shake its flu from the early part of this year, several interesting small cap names are starting to emerge as leaders. I mentioned one of them last week - the company working to overcome the Internet's bottleneck.  Their technology makes data transmission via the Internet more efficient...an area that's becoming more crucial by the day as the web is starting to become noticeably congested. It's hardly all they do though.  However, to fully appreciate this company, it's as important to understand what they are as much as what they do. We'll explore both.  Perhaps more important to investors...this pre-revenue company appears to be on the verge of dropping the word 'pre' from their description. That's often been the sweet spot when it comes to small cap stock gains.  We believe this company's stock may be in that proverbial sweet spot as well, with the potential for triple-digit appreciation over the next couple of years.    What Do They Do?  What this company does with technology is amazing, though like we mentioned, what they are is just as important as what they do.  In a nutshell, they see technological and media needs that can and should be met - mostly Internet related. They then acquire or develop the technology to meet those needs. Their ultimate aim is bringing those developments to the market.  We strongly suggest you put the name Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) on your radar. This organization is leading the way towards the commercialization of several technologies, with a focus on the intersection of technology and content. Like we said, speeding up the way the Internet works is just one of them.  You could say they're an incubator of sorts, though the word hardly does them justice. They do their own R & D, or they may acquire or invest in a technology if it makes more sense to do so. I think their description as something of a venture fund or holding company is more fitting, although they directly operate the businesses that they own..  Their real value proposition is seeing opportunity in the combination of seemingly disparate technologies, then unlocking system level opportunities. In other words, they don't join industries - they create them.  For example...  We all know that people are sending larger and larger files over the Internet. This is true for both individuals and for companies. Thankfully, we're also starting to get larger Internet pipes to our homes and businesses. The Scandinavians, Japanese, and Koreans are way ahead of Americans on this, but we're making progress.  But, here's the kicker - no matter how fat your Internet pipe is, the Internet imposes a speed limit on transferred data, depending on the time it takes to get where it's going.  That's where Voyant comes in - they can eliminate this speed limit, thereby reducing file transfer times by as much as 98% by making almost full use of available bandwidth ...something the Internet in its current form was never designed to do. Just imagine a company trying to send a big file from Asia to Los Angeles. This used to take 26 hours to transfer, which means FedEx was often the better means of delivery. Voyant's technology brought this time down to under 20 minutes. Pretty amazing, huh?  Making the web faster is just one of several examples of how they've developed or acquired technology, made it functional, and then put themselves in a position to monetize it. All of their current ventures are listed next.    Voyant's Pipeline We're going to spend the next few weeks getting to know Voyant 'up close and personal'. For today, we want to give you an encompassing glimpse at the company's three current projects to give you a feel for how they take technology and make it useful in the real world.  RocketStream Without getting too far into the technical aspects of it, Voyant's RocketStream makes many pieces of the web go faster.  The key to it all is Voyant's transport protocol technology. The Internet's current form was designed to only send letters and numbers over a 56K modem. You don't need us to tell you the web has since become a delivery medium for television, music, movies, massive files, etc. The problem is, it's slow...and getting slower while our data is getting bigger. Voyant's got something much faster than current transmission protocols - RocketStream. This Internet data-transfer technology can operate as much as 100 times as fast as current data transfer methods.  It's already been launched and used successfully, though only the surface of this opportunity has been scratched.  Aviation Broadband Ever get frustrated you can't use the Internet while you're flying? Join the club. A few companies have taken a stab at this by trying to connect a jet to the web via a satellite high above the plane. It doesn't work very well, if at all.  Voyant's solution is simple - connect the jet to the web from the ground. The distance is considerably smaller, and the military's trials of the technology (where it first came from) were successful. And why wouldn't it be? $300 million has already been invested in the technology, which Voyant now owns.  Voyant anticipates doing their own demos by next calendar quarter. It could bear revenue shortly after successful commercial testing.  Voyant Productions  If you can improve the delivery of the message, why not own the message itself? This arm of Voyant is gathering television, movie and short form content to be delivered - for profit - in the future. Who knows? Maybe you'll watch this content someday from the comfort of your seat on that flight back home.  While those three revenue paths are the ones close to bearing fruit, we want to stress again this company's real strength lies in its ability to take existing know-how and turn it into something useful.  For that reason, the stock's long-term appeal is at least as compelling as its short-term potential. Even while these three ventures are maturing, Voyant is already evaluating other new projects with other technologies.   Bottom Line We're looking forward to detailing this story over the next few weeks. As always, we'll drill down into the company's history and future. Some of the background story here is amazing. The company, its technology, and its people have been associated with major names like Inktomi and defense contractor Lockheed-Martin. Regarding dollars and cents, again Voyant is attractive to us. The balance sheet is quite clean, and with a market cap of only $13.9 million, it will actually take very little revenue to establish value for the stock. For perspective, the kinds of deals these guys will be doing start in the millions, so one or two good ones would more than justify the current valuation.  Voyant's annual meeting is scheduled for June 4th. You can dial in to this meeting and follow along with the presentations from your own home, though the stock may be off and running before that. There's been a lot of volume lately, which can often mean something good is brewing for the company.  In the meantime, our headline 'Voyant's on the Verge' wasn't something we just pulled out of a hat. We've been watching this company for a while, waiting for things to fall into place. We now see that happening, and we see significant revenues right around the corner as a result.    We Value Your Feedback   Got comments, questions or suggestions?
