The backbone for the eDispatch.com distribution model is in fact this "reliable, simple, and cheap wireless messaging." When your distribution costs become less, and your delivery service becomes more simplified and reliable, that is good for your business is it not? Remember EWD is first and foremost a dispatch software company and was used to dispatch mobile fleets in Europe, Canada, and the USA before the inter net distribution model was implemented and the name change. (Formerly InStep Mobile.) Mobile Data Solutions Inc. is a mobile fleet and dispatch software maker but their distribution model is not the same. The power of the eDispatch distribution is exactly the very thing you have touched on. "reliable, simple, and cheap wireless messaging" have developed in tandem and now "the stars have lined up" to permit dispatch technology to be distributed in this manner.Without these industry advances in place, edispatch.com would still be called inStep Mobile and using traditional proprietary distribution instead of taking advantage of the new open standards that now exist.
We are not talking about simple messaging to the consumer. We are talking about B2B fleet management, dispatch, and logistics for fleets of mobile workers who must co-ordinate their workers. This is way more complex and involved than sending a little stock quote or a weather forecast to a consumer. ( If you wish to understand the complexities of the dispatch software market, you can take a close look at the eDispatch.com web site or MDSI -NASDAQ. ) Once you get a grasp of what that software does, then consider that the distribution EWD has chosen is to use generic open standard hand-held units off the shelf, inter net, and standard telco networks which allow "cheap, reliable, wireless messaging." The distribution model is in fact heading in exactly the direction we would hope for as investors, and all the more so as technology improves. I hope I am not too long winded.
