EFAX interview was going along OK with all the answers that had been memorized. The bigger question was how do you intend to make money? 1. Advertising, there is an ad on every fax 2. Upselling facilities, and more software upgrading 3. CEO says they will be a competitor with Delrina WinFax 4. Made suggestion that EFAX has been giving free accounts in these beginning stages. (my take is they may intend to charge later) Problem with interview: Interviewer, "I got a fax number with an 718 area code, where is that." CEO got a bit flustered and mentioned that there would be no way to guarantee an area code local to you. So faxes would be subject to long distance charges...

<EFAX> To my knowledge, the company has always refused comment on the question of their cost per phone number. Its market cap is frequently justified by comparison to Hotmail, but the latter had zero cost for signups (free email). EFAX has to give each subscriber a unique 10-digit phone number. IMO, this is going to be much more expensive to scale from their current base (200,000) into the millions, where the market would value its eyeballs. Unless they manufacture some more news, I think it'll slide back where it was as volume melts.
