NeoMedia Technologies, Inc (NEOM)

I have been hearing on CNBC and have read a lot about Yahoo restructuring their business model to be more competitive with Google. Wouldn’t the timing be right to have Neom's sales and marketing guys directly target qode to them? You would think “mobile find” would have huge long-term profitable growth potential for their restructuring program.

We know that Microsoft and Google have previously met with Neom per TS. Neither came to agreement with Neom perhaps because Neom was not interested in offering an exclusive agreement.

But times are different now for both Neom and Yahoo. Neom finally has a product ready for market, and desperately needs cash flow. Yahoo needs a new killer application to regain some or all of the market share they have lost to Google.

So what if Neom offered Yahoo an exclusive license for qode for 1 to 2 years? The definition of “exclusive license” in this case being Neom couldn’t market it to Yahoo’s direct competitors: Microsoft, Google and other internet search companies. That would give Yahoo a 1 to 2 year lead over their competition for “mobile find” via qode. After the agreed upon time frame, Neom would have the option to either sign another 1 to 2 year exclusive contract with Yahoo or begin marketing qode to their direct competitors. This type of arrangement could be a win-win for both companies…Neom wins in that they get a major search player to license qode and prove out all that it is capable of, and Yahoo wins in that they get a head start over their competition.

Thoughts???
