>>The idea is to put together the credit card company, the ISP, the smartcard company, the merchant vendors and a Novell NDS based digital identity vault with Novell's NDS infrastructure throughout. Selling something to internet users gives Novell visibility and adds some substance to the claim of internet leadership.>>

Paul:

I have a significant investment in Nextel AND Novell for the potential I see in fusing e-commerce with s-commerce (street).

We are at the point in history where "buying and service" agents will be in demand if we can only work out the credit and payment logistics.

You've heard of Peapod for groceries. Well, I see this trend expanding to ALL stores. This service and local oriented piece will make a powerful counter to pure e-commerce solutions. I see ALL local stores going e-commerce anyway. The differentiator will be pick-up and delivery services.

We need a slick, user-friendly credit and payment mechanism to make all this happen.

I have my own Nextel network here in Chicago where I am testing these ideas.

Am in the process of starting one in Manhatten among traders, etc.

Care to help out??
