Yup. It's certainly better than leaving a business card at the front desk.

I am personally proud of all of you and the company. We may disagree on some of the nuances but we all seem to want to own a piece of a company that does something and doesn't just exploit crises. Coupla weeks ago I pointed out that American Red Cross policies ARC544 and ARC547 restrict the use of the Red Cross name and logo for commercial advantage. So we can't PR sales but we can PR donations. With free or discounted airtime everyone wins here IMO.

Maybe there is even a corporate marketing strategy here that could be helpful. Sometimes you can do well by doing good IMO. Maybe we need a disaster benevolence kit with a coupla trackers and a sat phone on the shelf for every disaster. Drop it off with six months airtime and I betcha some renew at $10 per month when renewal time comes. People remember what you do for them in tough times--as we should. Even if they don't, you begin to position yourself as a viable disaster satcomm communications provider. And, in the quiet moments, you say to yourself--that felt good, we made a difference. As a SH, GTC has been a pleasant surprise for me. Still, proud of the company and all of you, Indy.
