Yeh, AOL and GMGC are VERY similar. This similarity was a big reason why I invested in GMGC. Also agree that the GMGC reseller approach was pure brilliance. I've worked with telcos before. Dinosaurs. If you whack the tail in California it takes a year for the signal to travel to the walnut-sized brain in NY. Slow, slow, slow. GMGC is not dependent on these dinosaurs. They're in the game already. They can expand presence and get the carriers later. We're rolling now, getting mindshare, refining the service, not promising to beta sometime in '99. Multi-billion dollar market! And we're the only one on the field! If one sees this, and if you're using Portico, there is no way you can't be excited. I'm also feeling happy about buying at 5 3/4 a couple days ago. Buy when the sheep are panicked (I've read too much HellBroker). About there being only so many "CEOs and VPs" out there. I'm not a VP, much less a CEO. And I live off Portico. Likewise, sales people, consultants and businespeople are the perfect target market. Motorola as competitor??????? Ha ha ha ha. No offense to any MOT employees out there, but the really driven types don't stay at a firm like that. Anyone who has worked at such a firm knows they simply can't effectively compete with a small and nimble silicon valley firm. All the real go-getters are at the startups, putting in the late hours, getting rich, running circles around the old dogs.
