Opening Remarks by Vic Jackson

GOOD MORNING!

THIS PRESENTATION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE EITHER A TECHNICAL

DISCUSSION OR A SUGGESTED BUSINESS PLAN.

MY OBJECTIVE TODAY IS TO PRESENT SOME IDEAS BASED ON EVOLVING

TECHNOLOGY THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE POSITION THAT

PAGING CARRIERS CURRENTLY HOLD IN THE REGULATORY WORLD ON TWO FRONTS. 

PAGING CARRIERS HAVE ACCESS TO  PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK NUMBERS NOT SUBJECT TO

LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY OR NUMBER POOLING.  WE’LL DISCUSS MORE ON THIS LATER.

PAGING CARRIERS HAVE MATURE, VERY COST EFFECTIVE AND VERY EFFICIENT WIRELESS MESSAGING SYSTEMS.

ADDITIONALLY, PAGING CARRIERS HAVE AVAILABLE,  THE INTERNET, AN ULTRA ECONOMICAL, GEOGRAPHICALLY TRANSPARENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS MEDIUM.

AND THEY HAVE AVAILABLE,  EXTREMELY POWERFUL, WONDERFULLY INEXPENSIVE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY.

I HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND THE BUSINESS OF PAGING FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS AND I BELIEVE THE CURRENT CLIMATE PRESENTS SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES EVER, IF YOU ARE A PAGING CARRIER THAT WANTS TO GROW AND MAKE MONEY. 

I’d like to start out my presentation WITH AN ILLUSTRATION OF

INNOVATIVE THINKING IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.
