Driving customers to your website
A hot new company that has been started in Bellevue, WA is

bigguppy.com

The Company just launched in May and has a product that will drive customers and prospects directly to the desired website. They call their product the Internet Business Card. The card is a small CDROM and had been shaped to look similar to a business card. You put the card into your CD drive and an advertisement comes up about the company and asks if you want to go to the website. If yes, the card activates your ISP and sends you directly to the desired website!

The company is presently in the process of setting up a nationwide reseller organization and is looking for people that want in on the Internet action. Several major clients are in the process of developing cards. One source, it is rumored, is getting ready to send out 30,000 of these cards.

I am sure that AT&T has learned from the baby bells about opening up lines to allow competition and AOL may not have much more success using AT&T's cable as AT&T has had competing in local telephone service. AT&T can throw a lot of roadblocks out there if they want to.

>The best positive I can see coming out of this would be for Armstrong to work some kind of compromise outside the legal system. Get it over quick and get back to focusing on upgrading the infrastructure. Any ideas on a compromise that would work? I dont have any. <

Eric,

How many ISPs do you suppose he'd have to do that with, considering that there are still about 6,500 of them who would want in?
