Jim Rogers, the noted CNBC commentator, successful hedge fund trader and world traveler has recently been in touch with odysseas, inc. Rogers is spending three years on an extensive trip inspecting all of the countries where he has investments. He has been writing a column on his findings for WORTH magazine. His most recent article on "The Safe Havens:" details how anomalies of history have led Andorra, Lichtenstein, Monaco and San Marino to develop enviable economies based on their being tax havens and safe banking centers.
Rogers has been using state-of-the-art Omnipoint equipment for his day-to-day telecommunications needs even from the wilds of Mongolia. He was interested in our idea, and suggested that an important additional phase would be to distribute such equipment in domestic US airports, capturing peoples interest in our products during the two hour window of opportunity between checking in your luggage and your plane’s leaving.
This extremely valuable idea requires us to rewrite substantial chunks of the business plan which has been available on this site for some time; and even more, to adjust the financials which are not posted here (They are available on request to Carol LeKashman at 203-226-6128 by any serious potential investor. )
But in a nutshell, we revision this company as servicing the high- and mid-net-worth travelers who are going to places which we call "non-Indo-European" but which actually includes some that are. We feel that people want information that is current and correct when on vacation, particularly if they are in places where the language/alphabet are not familiar. This includes Greece, Turkey, the Arab World, Russia and the former Soviet Republics and other Slavic countries; and practically everything in Asia: China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.
We envision supplying these people with current/state=of-the-art equipment such as wireless appliances which connect to the Web, international standard dual/triband phones, and handhelds.; We expect to sell them access to our proprietary content/portal, which they can use to download/read email, and access either MapQuest or a clone of it;; and to hotsync handhelds with similar data, of maps and other local info.
