Good on you Mr O and Ewan for having the insight to take this public.

I second MarkW's comment and intent although I think justification, in general, breeds clarity. Clarity is rarely bad.

I hear rumblings of a 'start-up' virtual environment with new projects and investors in one melting pot just around the corner – the like of Mr O should feature there too..

On a final point – it may be beneficial to also give some guidelines on any 'rules of thumb' Mr O may have found over the years rather than personal opinions on mobile companies – although they will be very interesting too!

It took a year to get the idea together with nearly no money. It was great technology but alas I had no business plan. I din't know what one was. I left the table STILL not knowing what one was. I only worked it out about 5 years' later. Essentially I had no compelling reason by any body would spend I have sat on the wrong end of an 'I have a great idea let's hear it' table.

I'm really looking forward to hearing Mr Operator's perspective. Always better to be over prepared for a pitch - It's a tough market to break into, I would take any of the advice given here with gratitude. Agreed!

It's annoyed me that you've had to come out and clarify like this just because someone was whining, probably due to some other personal agenda. If I wanted to get an app in front of a MNO, I'd be ripping your hand off - you take all the good advice you can get if you're going to succeed. It'll be fascinating to see what comes out of this. Well done to both Ewan and Mr O for putting this together. This looks to me like one of the most valuable things (for those who need it) to have come out of any blog in a long time.
