The numbers are huge and there are plenty of companies large and small vying to get a share of the business developing, hosting, supporting and marketing web sites. Most companies like USweb,
Rare Medium, Zeros and Ones are more focused on developing though Rare Medium is expanding to emulate CMGI. IBM, PSInet and MicroSoft
are also all getting into development and hosting
From my conversations with the company, any of the four divisions is available as a separate or intergrated service.
Companies with existing e-commerce web sites may utilize either or both the eSERVICE and eMARKETING resources available through TSIG.com for both teleservice support and using the card to direct traffic to the existing site.
Right now there are many e-commerce sites out there without any telephone customer support. Many customers would still like to phone or fax their credit card information in and have a number to call with any questions. Such support would require investment in a teleservices division. An option for a pre-existing site is to outsource this service.
Even competing music e-tailors could outsource telephone support to TSIG.com eSERVICE division.
Similar arguments could be made for utilizing TSIG's marketing strategies to pre-existing sites.
Interestingly, some development companies like Microsoft are so busy that they may outsource work to smaller companies.
So, TSIG.com's eSOFTWARE division which utilizes Microsoft software could be a logical outsource candidate for Microsoft especially since Hwang previously worked for Microsoft.
Now the ideal customer, would want a web page developed, hosted, supported and marketed by TSIG.com
Each and every division can potentially generated revenues.
These revenues do not even include the revenues generated from
TSIG.com's own sites and products.
This company has a TON of potential and avenues for revenue through each of the divisions. Hwang is an asset.
You are right, this board has not discussed all the possible avenues of income.
That is not to say that deals are in the works or forthcoming, or even to say that the company will survive.
But then again this stock is only worth $0.21 or cents right now so obviously every one is aware of the downside risks and terms of the PP.
