[Davisgig] DavisGig Fundraising Idea

The helpful guys at Omsoft have been trying to work with me and AT&T to try and get me enough ADSL bandwidth to satisfy my two teenage sons (nuff said).  It's not looking promising at the moment.  

I really wanted to avoid going with the major corporate internet service providers, but I may have to make a deal with the devil and drop Omsoft for Comcast or AT&T or something like that.  I told the guys at Omsoft, sort of in jest, that I pledged to match whatever dollars I was forced to contribute to these organizations with a contribution to DavisGig.

I see below, tho, that you really are looking for fund-raisers, and maybe this could be a part of it?  I'm sure there are a lot of people like me out there who have sold their soul and are looking for redemption.  Not everyone can afford a 100% match, but perhaps you can get people to commit to a 10% match, or 20%, or whatever they can do, and you can charge them monthly.  Maybe you could even issue printed indulgences? 

Just my $0.02.

A friend of mine has been living in South Korea since before Google, and has watched their high speed network take shape. Here is his description of one way South Koreans are using their terrific bandwidth. 


"At home we get our television through a cable box hooked to the internet. They don't use DVRs here. They just go on their TVs and order programs. Usually if its a recent broadcast you pay a dollar.
If the program is a week old or older its a free view with a couple of commercials to sit through first. Some American shows are sold by the episode.

Movies work the same way. You pay 10 bucks for something currently in theaters. 4 bucks for a recent movie. 2.50 for something a year old.
There are also tons of movies for free."

Hi

So let's have a meeting on Wed April 8th at 6:30pm till 7:30pm.

I have asked Sudwerk to reserve that room on the front LEFT of the place.

That is cut off from the main dining area, and I hope, will work better, for volume.

At this point, I'm taking any Agenda items people want  discussed, but I'm thinking

1) Going Public
      Social  Media
      Press Release ?
      Op-Ed

2) Fundraising
     Feasability Study


More soon

Thanks
