What would you do with a great hispanic app?
Had breakfast with a friend who feels that its time to sell his company. He has customers and he has assets and I always think that its good to stay and milk the cow as long as possible. But that's my bell head :).
The question is who would you sell a service company to?
Telmex is not particularly oriented into looking for new apps. Telefonica is more focused on getting O2 right in Europe than Latin America.
So that puts you up with us gringos in the US. If you can adapt the app for wireless, MetroPCS and Sprint are probably the best to chase.
att is so well connected to Telmex, they could probably swap pointcodes on a switch.
Verizon wireline maybe, but Verizon Wireless is more interested in Vcast.
So that starts you thinking about the cables. Comcast, Cablevision and Cox are the easiest to think about. All have strong latino markets. But are they ready to move beyond competing for local service?
Or do you have to package the application so that it looks like an excellator of Latino adoption?
Not sure I know the right answer, but I am looking for people who can help.
