| | I want to start a company and be extremely rich.....come join me.
Maybe this post should be in "Commercial" or "Job offered".....so Mods feel free to move it. (Donno why I write "feel free" because I guess you would do it anyway with out my pre-approval).
However.....I want to start a mobile company, run it for 4-8 years with great succes and then sell it to Swisscom, Sunrise or whoever wants to shift over a truck load of money.
Anyone who want to participate?
PS: I am serious....and this is how I look  ...not that yellow though.
Waiting for your PM.

I learned last night that all you really need to do is sell lots of "Apps"
ie: minimal up front capital, but lots of brainwork.
Suits me well.
What sorta people do ja need?

I have a friend who just made an app for a hotel chain. He is now proposed to fly to dubai and talk to the hotel......
no kidding.
If you are serious I would simply create apps for different companies

I'm intregued. I'd definitely be interested in looking in to something. If so many people are in on it though... how do we ALL get stinking rich? Is this idea supposed to make THAT much $$$$?
Is it some kind of marketing/sales scheme? I'm not so good at that kind of business.
I definitely think making an app that is useful to a lot of people and selling it very cheaply is a great idea. That or make freeware and wait to get bought out.
Can you say "Skype"?

Yeah, I'm in. I don't know how a phone works or really what a programming language is, but I do own a phone and I'm good with the money stuff.

Back to being serious.
Some 8-10 years ago a guy in Denmark started a phone company (Telmore). He bought net access, minutes and data from the biggest phone company in DK (TDC) and created an easy to use online User Interface.
After some years of "Full Speed Ahead" expansion he sold his company to...voila...TDC and cashed in a sh!t load of money. After a few years of thinking....well...he probably signed a "stay away from phone business agreement", he did it all again. Started another phone company (Bibob) and now this company is expanding (read: taking customers from the others) and beat me if this company isn't up for sale within a few years as well.
Today I just read that another phone company (Onfone) has been bought by TDC for approx. 60 mill. CHF. They have only 175.000 customers and had a turnover of as little as 4-5 mill. CHF last year.
Onfone was/is operating in the same way as Telmore and Bibob (and several others on the DK market) by buying network access, minutes and data from the big companies.
So...what are we waiting for?.....let move folks.
EFONE...EPHONE or whatever....YEAH!

I'll be head of IT
My first task will be to reduce all IT costs by outsourcing, and then taking a big fat bonus and golden goodbye.

You have no chance in telecom in Switzerland.
Swiss telecom rates are extremely low and have superb customer service. I cannot imagine that anyone would like to switch....

I could do webcontent and user assistance/training.
Quick question: How are we going to discuss potential ideas amongst ourselves without broadcasting our ideas to potential competition?
PM is a bit slow and non-transparent... not an ideal communications environment...
