[Lvlug] (Half Baked) Business Ideas 1428 and 1429 ;-)

[Randy Kramer]

I have some ideas for extra services that ISPs could sell to their
customers.  I'd like to consider selling those ideas / services to ISPs.

I wonder if:

   * anyone is interested in working with me to develop / market them
   * anyone in the LVLUG owns or works for an ISP -- and, if so, what
restrictions might exist on discussing things with you.  What I'm trying
to say is that my ideas require some development (or could possibly be
sold as just raw ideas, but not for as much).  It would be nice to be
able to discuss these ideas with someone who is fairly familiar with an
ISP and could add an ISP's viewpoint, and help actually implement the
ideas, but, I don't want to disclose those ideas without "protecting"
myself / ourselves somehow (maybe something like an NDA).

If anyone is interested, let me know, and let me know something about
your background in relation to ISPs and the services they offer, or your
contacts with ISPs, or anything along those lines.  If anybody has
experience with NDAs and wants to offer some advice on those, let me
know that also.

Part of what I'd like to find is a small ISP that we stand a chance of
talking into trying these ideas, on something like an "extra revenue
sharing" basis, so that we have something to show when we go after
bigger ISPs as customers.
