8x8 (EGHT) vor Ausbruch ? - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[feely]

Kennt jemand die Firma 8x8 (EGHT) genauer ?
Ich treffe meine Entscheidungen immer nur nach Gefühl. Diesmal glaube ich steht der Ausbruch bei 8x8 bevor.
Kann jemand diese Firma nach seinen Fundamentaldaten und
Produkten beurteilen? Marktkap. wäre ja nur bei ca. 100 Mio.
USD.

[feely]

Ich denke 12 USD in 6 Monaten als Kursziel sollten drin sein, wenn man bedenkt, daß die Internettelefonie erst am Anfang steht.

[feely]

8x8 auch schon eine ältere Empfehlung von "Der Aktionär" so wie Spyglass.
EGHT heute 20 Uhr an der Nasdaq 5,59 USD (+9,15%) und als ohne Nachrichten.

[feely]

Heute in den USA 6,0938 USD (+18,9%)
Hat keiner eine Meinung zu dieser Aktie ?

[feely]

EGHT sieht heute wieder gut aus.
Derzeit bei 6,5 USD +12%
Ist irdendjemand in diesem Wert investiert ????

[LuckyLunatic]

Hi feely,

es gibt tatsächlich noch einen glücklichen (?) 8x8 Aktionär.
Nach Ijnt.net und Prosoft nun meine Vorletzte Schrottaktie, die es nach langer langer Zeit schafft wieder auf meine Einstiegskurse zurückzukommen ( Scheiss Anfängerfehler - Stop-loss nicht beachtet ).
Wenn die es jetzt noch auf 11 $ schafft, dann ist es soweit, dann poste ich Dir meinen letzten Looser im Depot als Top-Empfehlung, sind locker 400 % drin .

Hi LuckyLunatic,
Super am 7.1.2000 EGHT 8 USD +24.7%.
Ja ich bin ein glücklicher 8x8 Aktionär, denn ich bin erst vor ein paar Tagen bei 5 USD eingestiegen (beobachte diesen Wert aber schon seit ca. 2 Jahren). Die Aktie selbst hat in meinen Augen noch ein gewaltiges Potential (durch geringe Marktcap.). Man muß oft nur viel Geduld haben. Ich bin z.B. bei Spyglass eingestiegen vor ca. 2 Jahren bei 5,85 USD als "Der Aktionär" diesen Wert zum Verkauf empfohlen hat. Man muß einen Wert der eine gute Story hat einfach nur lange genug beobachten um dann, wenn keiner mehr von dieser Aktie spricht, aber die Umsätze beim Handelsvolumen steigen einfach investiern. So einfach gehts oder?
Ich wünsche Dir noch viel Erfolg mit 8x8.
Gruß feely

Den Brisanz dieser Zeilen, die kurz vor Weihnachten auf den Markt trafen, wurde wohl erst zu Jahresbeginn von den analysehäusern verarbeitet, daher der kometenhafte Aufstieg. Man munkelt Förtschi hääte bereits Ende Dezember 1999 begonnen Stücke einzusammeln. Ich denke, in den nächsten Wochen kommt dann die Vorstellung im Aktionär.


8x8 Implements Session Initiation Protocol for Internet
Telephony

IntraSwitch iPBX Becomes First Software PBX to Support SIP

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 23, 1999--8x8 (Nasdaq:EGHT - news), a leading
manufacturer of digital
telecommunication products, has endorsed the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for making
telephone calls over Internet protocol (IP)
networks.

SIP will allow 8x8`s IntraSwitch(TM) iPBX (Internet private branch exchange) software to
interoperate with gateways, terminals
and softswitches from other vendors.

The announcement comes after 8x8 successfully tested the IntraSwitch iPBX with SIP-compatible
gateways and phones from Cisco
Systems, Mediatrix Peripherals, Nortel Networks, Nuera Communications, Pingtel Corporation
and 3Com Corporation recently at an
industry-wide SIP interoperability test event hosted by Ericsson in Dallas, Texas. SIP became an
official standard of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) in March 1999 and has gained significant support among telecom
equipment vendors, carriers,
CLECs, cable operators and web-based voice chat providers.

8x8`s IntraSwitch iPBX software provides the switching intelligence for a hosted iPBX system: it
sets up and routes calls, interfaces
with voice mail systems and interactive voice response (IVR) systems, and provides a link to
enterprise computing systems to allow
computer/telephony integration (CTI). The IntraSwitch iPBX is the first software PBX to implement
Sun Microsystems` Java
Telephony Applications Programming Interface (JTAPI), a CTI interface that allows computers to
efficiently control telephone
switches.

iPBX hosting is a new concept pioneered by 8x8 wherein telephone service providers such as
competitive local exchange carriers
(CLECs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) can provide small- and medium-sized businesses
with PBX functionality over IP
networks. This arrangement eliminates the need for businesses to manage a complex private
telephone system while providing the
flexibility and customization capability that businesses need to be competitive. ``iPBX-hosting`` is
similar in concept to application
hosting services that allow businesses to outsource email operations, Web site hosting and
e-commerce implementations as services.

Incorporating SIP support into the IntraSwitch iPBX allows it to interoperate with gateways to the
public switched telephone network
(PSTN), telephones and other softswitches that support the SIP standard. Interoperability between
equipment from multiple vendors
is necessary to allow IP telephone networks to be rapidly and cost effectively deployed.

``With its easy-to-implement character and robustness, we believe that SIP is the protocol of
choice for PSTN gateways and
network application servers for conferencing, voice mail and the like,`` said Frederic Artru, general
manager of 8x8`s network
software division. ``We look forward to continued development and support of this important new
standard in our multi-protocol
hosted iPBX.``

for Sun`s Network Service Provider Division. "I am happy to see that 8x8 has
the same ambitions for QoS as we do - high-availability, high quality, easy
scalability, customer control and excellent security. The SunTone Program
will help them more easily achieve these goals."

8x8`s IntraSwitch iPBX software provides the switching intelligence for a
hosted iPBX system: it sets up and routes calls, interfaces with voice mail
systems and interactive voice response (IVR) systems, and provides a link to
enterprise computing systems to allow computer/telephony integration (CTI).

"The standards that Sun is advocating for service reliability and scalability are
exactly what we believe are required to guarantee customer acceptance of
Internet services," said Dominique Pitteloud, 8x8`s vice president of marketing.
"Once customers understand the quality of service guarantee implicit in the
SunTone logo, we believe that they will begin to prefer SunTone branded
services and sites over other alternatives. We hope to have our IntraSwitch
iPBX SunTone certified because it will be an advantage to the service providers
that use our products to offer iPBX hosting services."

ST Microelectronics übernimmt maßgebliche Anteile an 8x8, hier die Meldung:

STMICROELECTRONICS AND 8x8 ANNOUNCE
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
ST and 8x8 to jointly develop chips for Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) applications; ST to Take Equity Position in 8x8

GENEVA and SANTA CLARA, Calif, January 24, 2000 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM) and 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT) announced today that the two
companies have formed a strategic partnership to develop and market
semiconductor products for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications.
The partnership consists of a technology license agreement, under which ST
will license 8x8`s VoIP software and digital signal processor (DSP)
technology, and the joint development of certain VoIP integrated circuits (ICs).
In addition, ST will purchase 3.7 million shares of 8x8 common stock at a
price of $7.50 per share for a total investment of $27.75 million. This price
represents a slight premium over the average closing price of 8x8 stock for the
past 15 days. ST is one of the world`s largest semiconductor suppliers and,
according to market research firm Dataquest, among the leading suppliers of
ICs for digital consumer applications, in particular for digital set top boxes. 8x8
is a leading supplier of VoIP communication solutions.

"8x8 has world-class VoIP software and DSP technology," noted Alain
Dutheil, ST`s Corporate Vice President for Strategic Planning & Human
Resources. "8x8 has optimized its VoIP technology for consumer broadband
devices. Its technology is efficient, commercially proven and is an excellent
complement to ST`s broadband access and microcontroller expertise. The
combination of the two companies` know-how will allow ST to dramatically
expand its existing range of chipsets for cable terminals and digital subscriber
line (DSL) modems with multi-line VoIP capability."

Delivering inexpensive telephone services to consumers by leveraging the
existing broadband access infrastructure is widely perceived as a key driver of
revenue growth for the cable and telecommunications industries. Some of the
major operators and service providers are investing heavily to upgrade their
cable and DSL networks to support voice service. Delivering cost-effective
telephone service over broadband networks requires the use of a
packet-switched technology like VoIP. This technology allows many users to
share a single wire rather than having to use a dedicated line as is required
with traditional circuit-switched technology.

Inexpensive VoIP telephones or telephone adapters are key to deploying VoIP
telephone services. As broadband technology matures, adapters will be built
into cable set-top boxes, cable modems or DSL modems, in a market which
is expected to exceed six million units by 2004, according to market research
firm Forward Concepts. At the heart of these adapters, or VoIP telephones, is
a microcontroller for call control processing and a DSP for audio compression.

"We are very excited to partner with ST, a recognized leader in semiconductor
design, marketing and manufacturing worldwide," said Paul Voois, 8x8`s
chairman and CEO. "As one of the leading suppliers of system-on-chip
solutions for cable set-top box, DSL modem and wireless handset
manufacturers, ST is one of the major players in the broadband
communications market. ST`s market presence will expand and accelerate the
deployment of 8x8`s VoIP technology."

About the License Agreement
Under the terms of this agreement, ST receives a non-exclusive
royalty-bearing license for 8x8`s VoIP software and its next-generation VP7
DSP core. 8x8 VoIP software includes industry-standard call control
protocols, such as the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), H.323 and
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). 8x8`s voice compression software, which is
based on the G.7xx series of ITU standards, is specially optimized to run on
embedded DSP cores. Support for a broad range of codecs, which run at data
rates up to 64 Kbit per second, allows service providers maximum flexibility in
managing their networks.

About the Development Agreement
The companies have entered into an agreement that provides a framework for
the joint development of ICs and that defines two initial projects. The first
project under this agreement will combine 8x8`s next generation DSP engine
with ST`s microcontroller and analog IC technology to produce a VoIP-enabled
chipset for cable modems and cable TV set-top boxes. In the second project,
8x8 will adapt its communications stacks to ST`s industry-standard
microcontroller cores and its codec technology to the ST100 DSP core. The
resulting voice-enabled devices will be used in DSL modems, telephony
gateways, wireless equipment and IP telephones.

About the Investment
ST will purchase 3.7 million shares of 8x8 common stock in a private
placement at $7.50 per share for a total of $27.75 million. The sale of common
stock to ST and initiation of the strategic partnership is subject to customary
conditions, including expiration of applicable waiting periods under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. In addition, a designee of ST will be appointed to 8x8`s
board of directors, increasing its size to eight members.

Und hier noch eine Company-Meldung:

8x8 Demonstrates iPBX Hosting Application At ComNet; IntraSwitch iPBX in Nuera
Interoperability Pavilion, Joins SALIX SoftLink Partners Program

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2000--8x8 (Nasdaq: EGHT), a leading provider of digital
telecommunication solutions, announced today that it is demonstrating its IntraSwitch(TM) iPBX (Internet private
branch exchange) and Symphony(TM) Media Hubs in the VoIP Interoperability Pavilion at this year`s ComNet
show (booth number 4102) in Washington D.C. The VoIP Interoperability Pavilion is being organized by Nuera
Communications and sponsored by ComNet 2000, Mier Communications and Pulver.Com.

8x8`s equipment is interoperating with Nuera`s ORCA PSTN gateway, with Pingtel`s IP telephones, and other
vendors` equipment, all of which implement either the session initiation protocol (SIP) or media gateway control
protocol (MGCP). Together, the components illustrate how a service provider can configure a hosted iPBX for an
enterprise customer.

"8x8 is pleased to participate in the ComNet VoIP Interoperability Pavilion," said Dominique Pitteloud, 8x8`s vice
president of marketing. "Giving service providers the freedom to choose from many sources for VoIP equipment is
the key to creating solutions that are profitable for a particular application. The Interoperability Pavilion
demonstrates that such choice is a reality today."

iPBX hosting is a new concept pioneered by 8x8 wherein telephone service providers, such as competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs) and Internet service providers (ISPs), can provide small- and medium-sized businesses
with PBX functionality over IP networks. This arrangement eliminates the need for businesses to manage a
complex private telephone system while providing the flexibility and customization capability that a business needs to
be competitive. "iPBX hosting" is similar in concept to application hosting services that allow businesses to
outsource email operations, web site hosting and e-commerce implementations as services.

In a hosting application, the IntraSwitch iPBX software runs on a carrier-class server located in the service
provider`s central office or network operations center. The iPBX provides complete PBX functionality, including call
setup and tear-down, routing, call forwarding, call hold, call transfer, hunt groups, and so on. Each server can run
multiple instances of the iPBX software, each of which is dedicated to a particular customer to provide a high level
of security and configuration flexibility. This centralized model allows customers to avoid the burden of maintaining
their own telephone system while supplying the flexibility that a PBX solution would provide.

8x8`s four-line Symphony Media Hub converts standard analog telephones or fax machines into IP phones,
providing a low-cost solution for building an IP telephone network. Media Hubs connect directly to the local area
network (LAN) in the office, and can be distributed throughout the enterprise, eliminating the need for two separate
sets of communications networks. In conjunction with the IntraSwitch iPBX, Symphony Media Hubs allow users to
make and receive calls over IP networks, transfer calls, place callers on hold, and conduct three- or four-way
conference calls.

8x8 also announced at ComNet that it has joined the SoftLink Partners Program created by SALIX Technologies.
The SoftLink Partners Program is designed to enable SALIX and its partners to aid carriers in deploying new
services to their customers by simplifying the integration of new network service creation elements, thereby
reducing the time to market for new services. The SoftLink Partners Program is the first multi-vendor program that
offers service providers true standards-based, carrier-class next-generation solutions with proven interoperability.

"In order to be successful, vendors need to focus on perfecting equipment for particular market segments," noted
Christopher Peters, 8x8`s vice president of business development. "When vendors use industry standard protocols
and interfaces, service providers can choose best-of-breed equipment for each application. The SALIX ETX5000
Enhanced Telephony Exchange is an excellent complement to our IntraSwitch iPBX Server Software for iPBX
hosting applications, and our mutual support for SIP makes the integration of the two systems straightforward."

Wer hat denn hier zu Börsenschluß noch „kalte Füße" bekommen. Der Kurs lag während der gesamten Börsensitzung bei 14,2 bG oder G und zum Börsenschluß bei 13 B.

Meine lieben Börsenfreunde, die „IP-Telephony" weckt im Jahr 2000 die eine Phantasie, wie wir sie vor drei Jahren im Mobilfunkbereich gesehen haben. Die Märkte sind noch nicht verteilt, so daß das Marktpotential noch immens groß ist. Jeder hat eine Chance mitzumischen, auch die „zur Zeit noch kleine" 8x8. In den kommenden 18 Monaten werden neue Anbieter hinzutreten, alte verschwinden oder von den „Großen" geschluckt werden. 8x8 bietet mit der strategischen Neuausrichtung eine interessante Alternative, kapitalmäßig gestärkt durch ST Microelectronic kann die Entwicklung neuer und interessanter Produkte forciert werden. Die hohe Intraday-Volatilität zeigt, daß „Gewinnmitnahmen" immer wieder aufgefangen werden, sobald sich der Kurs vom Ausgangsniveau mehr als 2 $ nach unten entwickelt, zudem werden relativ große Volumina noch im nachbörslichen Handel abgewickelt. Stockt die ST M. ihre Beteiligung nach und nach auf? Was bringt die Technologie - Messe, an dem die 8x8 zur Zeit teilnimmt? Der Phantasie scheint keine Grenze gesetzt zu sein. Aufgrund der hohen Volatilität sollten mögliche Stop-Kurse nur bis leicht unter 10 $ angezogen werden, vorläufiges Kursziel weiterhin 18-20 $ und Konsolidierung auf diesem Bereich. Interessante Geschäftsabschlüsse und wichtige Unternehmensmeldungen können mittelfristig für weiter steigende Kurse sorgen.

Am Neuen Markt kann derzeit beobachtet werden, welche Dynamik bereits das Stichwort „Internet-Telephonie" in einen Kurs bringen kann. So hat die Gigabell, im letzten Jahr von den Analysten als „overprized" teilweise zu recht verschrien (der Kurs brach gegenüber dem Emissionskurs um 60 % ein), durch Beteiligungen und Diversifikation in den Bereich Internet-Telephonie zu einem gewaltigen Hype angesetzt. Nach 60 % Kursverlust im Vorjahr notiert sie zur Zeit 60 % über Emissionskurs. Vom Tiefstkurs bei 11,10 Euro gerechnet, heute bei 58 Euro im Verlauf, d.h. 425 % über Tiefstkurs bei gleichzeitiger Meldung eines deutlichen Verlustes in Höhe von 18 Mio. für das Jahr 1999 und damit einer gravierenden Verfehlung der Planzahlen.

Das ist die Sensation!

Eventuell wußten gestern bereits einige mehr von diesem Deal.

Nun bin ich langfristig überzeugt von der Aktie, während ich sie bisher nur aus spekulativen Motiven gehalten habe.

Jeder kann sich auf der CeBit von 8x8 und der bahnbrechenden Technologie überzeugen, entweder direkt am 8x8-Stand oder bei Philips, indem sie die IT-Telephonie testen können!

Ich denke, in den nächsten Quartalen (beginnend ab 04/2000) dürften die Umsätze von 8x8 wieder markant anziehen.

U.S. Options - 8X8 Inc. volume, vols still firm

CHICAGO, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Volume remained strong and implied volatility was firm Wednesday in options on
telecommunications equipment maker 8X8 Inc. <EGHT.O> as the stock extended its recent string of new highs.

"It (implied volatility) was already pretty high. It has gone up a little bit (further)," said a market maker at the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. "There have been some buyers of these 17s and 20s."

He quoted the March 20s at around 118 percent, with the more-distant May and August 20s running at around 100
percent, both up a few points.

"The March 20s are probably the highest (volatility) ones," he added. "These they have been buying."

Options volume has grown "a little bit" over the last few days, he added, as the stock has set consecutively higher
highs, and at 11:34 a.m. CST (1734 GMT) on Wednesday roughly 470 calls and 300 puts had changed hands on the
CBOE.

The recent average daily turnover was around 550 contracts. On Tuesday, 558 options traded, off from Monday`s total
of about 1,880 contracts.

Near midday Wednesday, the March 20 calls firmed 13/16 to 2-7/8 on volume of 71 and 88 in open interest.

[angeldusty]

Die Korrektur an der NASDAQ bietet in der nächsten Woche wieder einmal die Möglichkeit größere Positionen günstig einzusammeln. Wenn im Laufe der CeBit größere Geschäfte mit namhaften Telekommunikationsanbieter abgeschlossen werden wird, ist es zu spät.

Empfehlung: Jetzt kaufen und die berichterstattung zur CeBit abwarten. Eventuell werden dann auch einige Tech-Reports auf 8x8 aufmerksam und setzen die Aktie in ein Musterdepot.

8x8 to License Audacity-T2 Processor Core; Move Enables `Third Generation` VoIP Chips
Including ADSL and Wireless Modem Interfaces

HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2000--8x8 Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT), a leading provider of
digital telecommunications solutions, today announced that it will license its Audacity(TM)-T2 IP Telephone
Processor as a core to other chip makers. The Audacity-T2 Core will allow chip makers to bring to market highly
integrated, VoIP-enabled xDSL, cable, and wireless modem chips based on 8x8`s leading-edge Voice-over-IP
terminal technology, accelerating the availability of affordable VoIP terminals for homes and businesses.

The Audacity-T2 Core integrates all of the digital circuitry of an IP phone or Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephone
gateway into a single functional block. By licensing the T2 core to other chip makers, 8x8 expects to enable a "third
generation" of VoIP chips. This new generation not only integrates audio compression and communication protocol
processing on a single chip but will include mixed signal elements such as Ethernet PHYs (physical layer interfaces),
audio ADs/DAs and amplifiers, xDSL, wireless, 3G mobile, ATM and cable modem interfaces.

"Our customers are telling us the Audacity-T2 Processor is six to nine months ahead of the competition: it is the most
integrated VoIP processor to date," said Keith Barraclough, 8x8`s president and COO. "By making the T2 Core
available to other chip makers, we expect to enable the rapid development of highly integrated cable, xDSL and
wireless solutions that incorporate our VoIP technology."

Unlike most VoIP architectures, which integrate a RISC and DSP processor onto a single chip, the Audacity-T2
Core has a single 8x8 MIPS-X5 CPU that efficiently processes both complex communications protocols and
high-speed audio signal processing algorithms. Using a single processor reduces silicon area and allows a single
memory space to be used for both protocols and audio, giving Audacity-T2 based solutions unique cost advantages
over dual-processor designs.

In addition to the MIPS-X5 CPU, the Audacity-T2 Core integrates 256 Kbytes of 8-way interleaved memory, two
Ethernet MACs and two multi-channel TDM ports. A 32-channel DMA engine and a 6.4 Gbyte/s Memory Controller
automatically transfer data on- and off-chip, ensuring that MIPS-X5 cycles are spent on protocol and audio tasks and
not on data movement. When used with 8x8`s Veracity(TM) VoIP Software, the T2 Core can implement a
two-channel IP phone or telephone gateway without external RAM, an achievement that is unique in the industry.

The Audacity-T2 Core is a fully synthesized design described in Verilog HDL. 8x8`s implementation comprises 15
million transistors in a 0.18 micron CMOS process fabricated by TSMC in Taiwan. 8x8 licenses the T2 Core as a
"soft macro," which can be re-laid out with additional customer-supplied circuitry. The T2 design can be clocked at
speeds up to 200MHz, allowing it to run two channels of ITU-standard audio with full-duplex echo-canceling and
VoIP protocol software.

8x8 has a comprehensive suite of chips, software and tools which enables licensees to prototype a chip design as part
of the development process, write and test software on a cycle-accurate software simulator, and perform physical
and protocol layer interoperability testing.

The Audacity-T2 Core license is available today. Pricing depends on the customer requirements and will include a
license fee and per-unit royalty. 8x8 continues to market the Audacity-T2 Processor for IP telephone and low-cost
VoIP terminal applications.

Hallo feely,

noch drin?

Trotz NASDAQ-Rückgang, steigt die Aktie aktuell mit 21 %.

[feely]

Hi angeldusty,
sicher bin ich noch in 8x8 investiert und ich werde auch kein einziges Stück in nächster Zeit hergeben (obwohl es sehr verlockend ist). Was diese Aktie zur Zeit abliefert ist echt stark. Ich hatte ein Kursziel von ca. 20 USD bis 31.12.2000.
Gruß feely

PS Ich habe noch SPYG, VOCL, MCRE im Depot und werde alle Werte noch ca. 2-3 Jahre halten. Ich hoffe das zumindest einer von den vieren ein 3000%er wird.

[angeldusty]

In den Ami-Borads wurde gestern über zwei Gründe spekuliert

ad 1) Samsung und net2phone hätten sich auf der Cebit verständigt, Produkte und Zubehör zu entwickeln, die VoIP unterstützen.
Net2pone reagiert zunächst mit der allgemeinen NASDAQ-Tendenz und fiel deutlich ab. Allerdings spekulierte man darüber, daß wenn solche Endgeräte schnell auf den Markt kommen sollten, daß ein Rückgriff auf den Audacity-Chip möglich wäre.

ad2) Nach der endgültigen Überwindung der 20 $ ist 8x8 auch für institutionelle interessant (dies hatte ich bereits vor einiger Zeit ebenfalls ausgeführt) und mann stellte fest, daß die 8 größten Telekommunikationsfonds bisher nicht in 8x8 investiert waren und nun unter Zugzwng stehen. Insbesondere dann, wenn sich der Chip als Verkaufsschlager erweisen sollte, mutiert 8x8 vom reinen Hardware Hersteller von Video-Konferenzsystemen zu einem Telekommunikationsanbieter hardware und softwareseitig.

Ich denke, da mir zur Zeit keine anderen Nachrichten bekannt sind, die diesen Kursschub verursachten, dürfte die Spekulation nach ad2 die realistischere sein.

Certain information regarding the directors and officers of STM is set forth on Annex A hereto which is incorporated by
reference herein.

During the last five years, none of STM or any of the persons named on Annex A have been (i) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On February 22, 2000, STM acquired 3,700,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") from 8x8 for a price per share
of $7.50, or an aggregate purchase price of $27,750,000, pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated
January 24, 2000, between 8x8 and STM (the "Purchase Agreement"). A copy of the Purchase Agreement is

Page 3 of 50


attached as Exhibit 1 to this Statement on Schedule 13D. STM used its own cash resources for the purchase of the
Shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

STM acquired the Shares for the purpose of making an investment in 8x8. STM from time to time intends to review its
investment in 8x8 on the basis of various factors, including 8x8`s business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for 8x8`s securities in
particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, STM will take
such actions in the future as it may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If STM
believes that further investment in 8x8 is attractive, whether because of the market price of 8x8`s securities or otherwise,
STM may acquire 8x8 securities either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on
market and other factors, STM may determine to dispose of some or all of the 8x8 securities currently owned by it or
otherwise acquired by it either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, STM has agreed not to acquire any voting stock of 8x8, through market purchases
or otherwise, except (i) until February 22, 2001, STM may acquire shares of voting stock through market purchases,
provided STM`s aggregate ownership of voting stock of 8x8 does not at any time exceed 19.9% of the outstanding voting
stock of 8x8, (ii) STM may at any time acquire shares of voting stock pursuant to preemptive rights, (iii) if STM is denied
the ability to acquire shares of voting stock pursuant to preemptive rights in a public offering, STM may acquire, through
market purchases, additional shares of Common Stock until its ownership percentage of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock is equal to its ownership percentage prior to such offering and (iv) STM may acquire shares of voting
stock in certain other customary circumstances.

In addition to the Purchase Agreement, 8x8 and STM entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February
22, 2000 (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Statement on Schedule 13D.
In accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, effective as closing of the purchase of the Shares, 8x8 shall cause
one director designated by STM to be appointed to the Board of Directors of 8x8. STM has not yet designated such
director. The Investor Rights Agreement provides that so long as STM owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock, STM shall have the right to nominate one person to 8x8`s board of directors whenever the Board of Directors is
subject to election.

Except as set forth in this Statement on Schedule 13D, STM has not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of 8x8 or the disposition of securities of 8x8; (ii)
an extraordinary corporate transaction involving 8x8 or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a

material amount of the assets of 8x8 or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or
management of 8x8; (v) any material change in 8x8`s capitalization or dividend policy; (vi) any other material change in
8x8`s business or corporate structure; (vii) any change in 8x8`s charter or bylaws or other instruments corresponding
thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of 8x8 by any person; (viii) causing a class of 8x8`s
securities becoming deregistered or delisted; (ix) a class of equity securities of 8x8 becoming eligible for termination of
registrations or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.

(a) The number of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was 3,700,000. Based upon
18,687,179 shares of Common Stock being outstanding as of January 20, 2000 (according to a representation of 8x8 in
the Purchase Agreement), such Common Stock represents approximately 16.5% of the Common Stock outstanding after
the issuance of such shares.

Except for STM, none of the other persons referred to in Item 2 above own any interests in Common Stock.

(b) The number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which STM (i) has sole voting power, (ii) shares voting
power, (iii) has sole dispositive power and (iv) shares dispositive power, are listed in the responses to Items 7, 8, 9 and
10, respectively, on the cover page filed herewith, and such responses are incorporated by reference herein.

(c) Except as described in this Statement on Schedule 13D, none of STM or any party referred to in Item 2 above, has
acquired or disposed of, or entered into any other transaction with respect to, any shares of Common Stock during the
past 60 days.

Förtschi sieht Ip-Telefonie als Zukunftsmarkt!!!!!!!

Lieber Förtschi in Deinem Vergleich mit angelsächsischen Werten fehlt 8x8!!!

8x8 greift mit seinem Audacity-Chip und entsprechender Software den Markt rigoros an, wichtigster Lizenznehmer ist bereits Philips, die sich in der Nähe von 8x8 mit einem Vertriebs- und Entwicklungsstandort niederlassen.

[Chlorophyll]

Seit gestern haben wir wieder 8x8 oder EGHT.
Nachdem dieser Wert unter NTRG gelaufen ist nun wieder der alte Name.
Hoffen wir,dass der Wert nun endlich auch entsprechend ansteigt.

[Chlorophyll]

Es scheint eght hat den Boden gefunden und startet durch.
Allein heute wieder +18% auf 1.10 $.
Hoffe, dass dies weiter so geht.
