Sounds like a Jack of all trades but master at none. I think it comes with growth. A lot of companies grow to the point of becoming unmanageable. Google for example nailed search! then they grew so much they started "branching out". Growth can be counter - productive at times. Every other venture they've engaged has either legged or fallen on the wayside (Enterprise search, google mini, writely, wireless mesh networks....and now they're looking to become a "telecom" company with the spectrum bid).....I believe it's good to do one thing and do it well. Thats why alternative providers will continue to bite into their markets. AOL lost focus and got so big that they stopped paying attention to why their customers signed up with them in the first place. Focusing on other "projects" at the expense of service........it's a shame.
I still believe capping a customer base in ensuring client service is a great market approach in the case of Unia Telecom. I think we'll start seeing alot of that, especially in the technology realm.
Problem is....once you become a public company, the law REQUIRES you to be profitable, hence the service delivery trade off.

Yea, I bet overtime they may lose site of there first goal and continue to want hte money but who knows. Tends to be what many businesses do because they like to expand.

very true...one can only hope they keep it up though. alot of providers start with that good vision but tend to get carried away once they gain a substantial market share, hopefully they don't get into that mode. Thats what happened to aol, mci, sunrocket and vonage. First remedy is to run offshore and then it's a downward spiral from there.....

Yup, very true...

Sadly that's how it goes...

yea but then in this day and age...I'm sure they're up to "something"....

Yea, of course. I love big businesses with good management personal weather it be on the corporate level or just supervisors.

Read your postings. Every bit true on Vonage alternative Unia Telecom. Great guys..heavy investment in support services and the equipment came unlocked. Giving us the flexibility needed...good guys.

So Astonct, you like Unia Telecom as well?

hi,
sorry I just checked this. I am overall very satisfied with Unia Telecom and I do agree with what guitarman said. They make it easy to use the device and it was also unlocked. The only issue was fax with we resolved by keeping our dedicated fax line. But very pleased with Unia so far.
