I was skeptical about Hop-On, but the agreement with Infea brings Hop-On into the real world. Case in point, Infea is a privately held corp in Wisconsin. Which means they don't have the luxury of selling stock to pay expenses, etc. In other words, they are a legitimate entity in the telco sector. Thus, when I called the president of Infea this morning, and asked to verify the agreement with Hop-On, I was glad to hear that Hop-On has a workable solution and that Infea will be a "back-office". The president said they'll help Hop-On phones to connect to CDMA networks anywhere in the country, whether the network belong to Verizon, Sprint, etc. He also said he had a Hop-On phone on his desk that he was using and that it is both call-in and call-out. He thought the phone was a nifty device. I imagine Infea didn't get much work done today except field calls about their Hop-On agreement. Two calls came in to the president's office while I was talking with him. One was from New Horizons, one of Hop-on's competitors -- it made me chuckle. Here's to a little company with lots of growing interest -- Hop-On.
