Simply brilliant! A startup with the right combination of technology and business model to serve the next billion

Microtelecom as VNL claims to have developed the term and for the next billion is exciting. The kind of solution that VNL claims is exactly the right combination of a business model as well as technology that is required if inclusive socio-economic growth is going to take roots. The technologies and solutions presented make great business sense and in my personal opinion will make a siginificant difference. Why? Like I have always mentioned that the Last Mile and Micro as a base for intermediation, commerce, community and marketplaces arethe key and here is a great example of that.

What companies like these do is disrupt and catalyze the ecosystem making great ROI & ROE opporunities.

This is an example of where the real innovation is coming from and where the next real challenge is, the Last Mile!

Disclosure: I have no investment in the company ( maybe I should :) )
