We all know it's coming, but when! That's the 64K question. Will you be able to hold on to your dial up customers when it arrives? Who will be selling it, and how can you cash in on the rapid technology announcements that promise "tech free" end user installations. Now is the only time you'll ever have to gear yourself up before they start eroding your customer base. IMS has done an exhaustive study on the broadband industry from the view point of both large and small ISP service providers. Everyone now has a level playing field and the swift and first to market will emerge as the winners. Those who wait will perish as will the value of their customer base. |
During this 2 week study six of the technology companies I targeted as being innovators were purchased for billions. So I must have selected the right STAT groups. STAT stands for "Strategic Trade Alliance Target", a term I coined in 1994 when I started predicting which CEO's would be put to pasture, and who was likely to embrace a new frontier called the internet due to downsizing. Nothing like pick slips to get the attention of no longer immune management. One thing they all had in common was they thought I was a loony heretic. I guess I get the last laugh, since everyone of the STAT projects are booming businesses that have turned around 360 degrees to the point that you'd think they invented E-commerce by themselves. So be it.
The basic tenant for the
following ISP distribution hub was to find a way for existing ISP's and new entries into
the internet access marketplace a easy method of deploying quick broadband solutions and
grow their customer base. All technology products that are to be distributed throughout
this channel have to simple to install and maintain as well as instantly gratifying and
beneficial to the demanding customer. The most technology challenged individual within the
ISP's sales organization must be able to install the devices. This automatically breeds
expertise within the support side of the business since they are expected to know how it
works. Simply put.. if they end user can install it and make it operational.. so should
you!

It should be just as simple to buy or sell a ISP solution. Most buyers, up till now, didn't have much of a speed choice. Find a ISP with a local access number, hopefully one who provides instructions and/or a logon screen with a compatible 56K handshake. Painfully I'll have to admit that most small ISP resellers ( i.e. mass retailers and small computer shops ) provide no instructions and complicate the matter by selling machines with improperly installed modems, no Win dial up networking, default screen resolutions, etc. etc. If you can't install it, please don't sell it. |
