Took my computer to my internet supplier for connection problem.
Long chat.
He is a small operator in a small Texas City. Plans to double his networking equipment in next few months.
Has a Cisco 250 Gateway Autorouter ( price $2,200 ) on top of about ten Lucent Livingston Portmaster 3s (each about $30,000). He buys over the internet through www.pricewatch.com/. He says they are the best, the cheapest available and have the best tech backup. I say have you considered MRVC ----- the inside word is that they are the best, the cheapest with possibly the best tech backup. (inside being this thread). He says never heard of MRVC..
We access www.pricewatch.com/, no mention of MRVC, or NBase or Xyplex. Cisco, Bay, OSICOM( in spite of the creaming they got in Barrons recently) etc etc all in their with their latest products and prices.
We briefly scan a bunch of trade journals--- no mention of MRVC--- although I know MRVC has been advertising from this thread. There seem to be a whole lot of trade journals around.
It would seem to me that we have to address the full potential of advertising over the internet, and possibly to target advertise to internet suppliers. Eg target faxes-- I get 4-5 faxes per day-- all end up in trash but they each get a glance-- and if its interesting I follow through.
Anyway this network administrator was interested in MRVC equipment so I have contacted a supplier of MRVC equipment -- heard of over this thread-- to contact him.
Big market-- one small city in Texas with 5 internet suppliers each wanting to double their supply, add on the hundreds of other small cities in Texas, plus Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin. Perhaps part of the $100,000,000 should be directed to prime spots on CNBC!
Just some thoughts from MD with no knowledge of computers or networking who wants to get MRVC up to where it belongs. I hope I am correct in assuming MRVC makes these products to compete with Cisco and Lucent.
Regards to all. |
