I've said, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Give me a
datafeed, at 2x cost, with no restrictions on reselling it. I'll set
up a non-profit organization dedicated to distributing the data, and
I'll take out a $25,000 personal loan at
prosper.com which I'll turn
around and reloan to the non-profit at the same interest rate. I'll
then set up a server with a MySQL database containing the data and
offer shell accounts on the server for $10/month.
Deal?
Honest to god, and I am not a relgious man, I hope the Foundation
takes you up on this bluff,
Good, that's one board member down. Any other takers?
I'm sure as one of the 100 most influential people in world you could make
it happen. Use that persuasive power. It should be a no-lose offer for
everyone.
