We don't need no stinken biz model. Just sell out for millions to a mobile telco in a few months. Now thats the model VC's love. Fred loves traction and too hear his name in blogland. Well worth a few million. Smart move. I like this investment. Biz model? We don’t need no stinken biz model. Just sell out for millions to a mobile telco in a few months.
