Mulling over George Pope to Steve Asher 17 Dec 2002

Hi George!

SA> I had a brazen rep from AAPT (mobile phone co) come to the door a few
SA> days ago offering a free mobile phone. I asked him what the catch was,
SA> & he just laughed & repeated the offer of a free phone. I told him I
SA> wasn't interested.

 GP> Why not?  You get him to put something IN WRITING, that it's
 GP> ABSOLUTELY FREE, with no obligations or expectations of cost
 GP> reimbursement on your part, and take it, then sell it to anyone
 GP> else cheap!

I'll try that with the next one. I have a feeling that mobile phone
operators are becoming desperate to find a revenue stream that will
allow them get a decent return on their investment in "3G" technology.

After that flurry of activity to install the ducts & equipment hut
for the new transmitters on this building, it all came to a halt
3 months ago, & I won't be surprised if it never gets completed.

Pity! :)

Cheers, Steve..
