Message sent to me by a friend expressing concerns


According to the recent filing by Goig, the capacity is limited to 4000 simultaneous calls. This is not near enough to handle serious text messaging connections. Let's say that Goig had customers in 40 states. This would mean that only 100 people in each state could be contacting customers at any given moment. Heck, an advertisement on a scoreboard at a football game could cause more than 4000 texts right then to get a special deal causing the system to go down. When you stop and think about what investment it would take to overcome the entire 411 and 800 # industry, it is staggering. I know you think it is a great idea because I do also, but reality is it will take some very big players that will be limited in time. The new technology will make this idea obsolete before it gets started. A guy told me that texters are going to be able to short code to companies direct and pull up menu's of any information they need.

Now my part is I have no clue if this accurate or not. I just am posting it to see if we can learn more. He knows I am long the stock and is only trying to help.
