Déjà Vu All Over Again

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

This week KC began work for Skytel, a new company comprised of the merged entities of Skytel and Velocita Wireless.  I have a soft spot for the technology and telecom sectors, and I often reflect romantically on my life in the start-up madness before the telecom and dot-com bust.

I’m particularly doing that now, because this new Skytel entity is bringing together my old friends from my first and wildest start-up experience.  These are the smartest people I’ve ever worked with.

Of course, Skytel is not a start-up.  It’s a well-established brand.  But this new iteration of Skytel is perfectly situated to be the market leader in “machine to machine” (M2M) wireless communications.  Juniper Research calls M2M the hottest growth area in all of wireless.  I love talking like that, which makes KC a great match for this new project.  This will be much fun.
