The Power of Retail

Definitely an interesting idea here. Rod Farthing, a part-time professor has launched an independent mobile service called Farthing Mobile a few weeks back after being tired with the kind of service he was getting. At present he has a total subscription of 8 people, so far only friends and family members. Farthing decided he would start his own network, or what is called a MVNO, a mobile virtual network operator, that transmits calls on an existing wireless network. He could be called the leader in this do-it-yourself cell phone network system. The system is powered by Sonopia which is offering people and groups to set up their own personalized wireless service for free.

No need to worry about back-room details, like billing and customer support Reliable hosting solutions with 24×7x365 support – Visit HostMySite.com, for the service. Sonopia handles all that. Prices for the service plans are competitive with name-brand providers. An added bonus: Sonopia pays virtual network founders 3 percent to 8 percent — depending on the number of subscribers — of their service’s monthly revenue.
