Perhaps this shows a rapid trend.............. In the news today.......... NTT DoCoMo to use fuel cells at base stations 'Summary: The Japanese mobile carrier plans to use fuel cells at its cellphone base stations as emergency power sources in the event of a disaster' http://www.zdnet.com/ntt-docomo-to-use-fuel-cells-at-base-stations-7000019555/ ----------- NTT DOCOMO is Japan's largest mobile service provider, serving more than 60 million customers. http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/corporate/

Aug 9th 2013 Europe Fuel Cell Technology Market Worth $613.7 Million by 2018 'In the current European fuel cell market, the stationary Household, telecom and backup applications dominates market demand on the basis of market size and revenues. The demand is projected to increase heavily due to the increased power backup and household demand. Telecom, automobile and power backup industry acts as the parent market of fuel cell industry. Its growth and demand is highly influenced by the parent market. Off grid applications like providing backup power for telecommunication infrastructure is provided by the fuel cells. Stationary fuels cells are used for these applications and have already been commercialized thus demand is further expected to rise owing to this commercialization.' http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/europe-fuel-cell-technology.asp

Fair enough :)

22nd May 2013 'The system is to be placed on trial with a major international mobile telecoms company, at a base station located in Africa.' '........The system is due to be shipped to the client in June 2013 for commencement of the on-site trial, which is expected to run for up to three months.

Well that's the wide spread taken care of, and they will still take 190,000 (plus?) shares at 7.60. 7.60 Bid 7.80 Ask

Brilliant link of yours this morning.

Feb 2013......... 'In all, more than 390,000 such base stations will be deployed from 2012 through 2020, ' http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130211005164/en/400000-Off-Grid-Mobile-Telecommunications-Base-Stations-Employing

PS..........I think they need shares. MM will take all my holding, 190k @ Barclays. Good luck with your targets.

Thanks........there seems to be plenty of interest over 7 pence anyway. Looking forward to more news on those Acta Power units. GL

Hi Riddler, would it be reasonable to expect to see 12p+ here again this year, given the possibility of near term positive results from the Acta Power trials ? Or is that being a bit too optimistic ? ta

Yep, ta for the Proactive, Beaufort Securities info..........reposted incase anyone missed that.

Buying is restricted to 15,000 shares. Selling is restricted to 100,000 shares July 25th 2013 - Beaufort Securities........... 'Our view: The growing demand for paid trials of the company’s newly launched Acta Power is a positive signal for the future business prospects. The Acta Power system is cost-competitive over the battery and diesel systems because of the lack of requirement of battery or fuels. The system also faces lower theft risk compared to its traditional counterparts. Besides, in July, Acta also launched a technology addressing the usage of the alternative energy that is not accepted by the grid and we see a huge potential for this system in the near future. Considering Acta’s unique set of patented technologies, strong order book, and the massive potential for back‐up power systems, we believe the company has strong business prospects going forward. We maintain a Speculative Buy for this stock.'

One possibility...... March 2011 (160 green cell sites nationwide in 2011) http://www.philstar.com/telecoms/669401/smart-builds-more-green-cell-sites

Coverage........ 'Acta Power to be Trialled by Major Philippines Telecom' http://www.fuelcelltoday.com/news-events/news-archive/2013/july/acta-power-to-be-trialled-by-major-philippines-telecom

NB - One such major telecoms company that has trailed methanol in the Philippines has....... "10,509 cell sites, 13,149 cellular/mobile broadband base stations, and 2,806 fixed wireless broadband-enabled base stations, covering all of the country's 1,634 cities and municipalities" No wonder Acta is expanding its production facilities fourfold. DYOR

Morning, I'm taking a lot more notice of tips and discussions on your GC board - Not getting too disappointed though as please with activities in Acta and can't afford to own them all just yet : )
