Cisco, now they have Scientific Atlanta, have not only vast computer networking experience but experience with all kinds of high-performance network systems. Timesys, in the US, has enormous experience with real-time systems and the problems of real-time computer-based applications, although I'm not sure if they have much experience with real-time networking. The BBC has experience with codec development, real-time delivery of multimedia to large numbers of people, and the problem of digital audio over unreliable networks. Internet phone systems are still very primitive compared to regular phone systems making a significant profit unlikely at best for the time being.īritish Telecom is doing a lot with the Internet, has a lot of telecommunications experience and has the infrastructure. Skilled developers in one field couldn't even transfer their skills to the other easily - codec/real-time developers aren't usually web/e-commerce developers.
There's no obvious assistance through technological improvements, customer base, or provided service. As such, there's no obvious way for the phone service to assist the auction side of things by any means other than being profitable. There's no obvious connection between an internet phone service and an auction house. They have three great products, they dont need to link them. solution an ebay like listing site that you link to a skype number, and has the bonus that tenants can set up a paypal direct pay so you dont even have to collect rent. Renting rooms & flats, here in London, nobody wants to go through estate agents (because they're all ****s), but gumtree still looks and feels unprofesional, the search isnt very good and putting your phone number on the web isnt the best idea. There is plenty of areas where knowledge from ebay would be useful in setting up a new project with skype & paypal.
Ebay isnt going to die but it wont keep growing forever. Online auctions were nice, but there no point putting all your eggs in the one basket, gumtree/facebook, is becoming a convenient way to get rid of junk without the haste of ebay, on-line shops are getting competitive, and froogle is getting good at finding what you want. Plus ebay doesnt go great with skype but paypal does, why dont they just keep sticking paypal to stuff. This has the bonus that if someday i fancy making silold or gilver i can.
If i was in the trade of making silver, and then one day i buy a magic pot that makes gold, id keep the bot, let it cary on making gold, and id keep making silver.
