that's a really interesting idea. the biggest questions i have are.... 1. how much will it cost? for equipment, sensors, etc? 2. is anyone willing to pay for it? If you don't want to ask anyone in particular, you can ask yourself other fe

right, if advertising revenue greater than cost of SMS, then there's potential for profit. that part is easy to get. but i still don't understand technically how such a transaction would work. how will you get a carrier to not charge me w

This is a really good article. It reminds me of when I was starting up my real estate business. For real estate transactions, there are a ridiculous amount of moving parts. For real estate investors that are testing all boundaries of how
