amassed lust

Over the past few weeks things have been looking incredibly up for MOSH mobile.

Our contract with our current provider was coming to an end later this month and we had begun looking at taking our service nation-wide with the help of a major carrier. We’d been negotiating with this carrier for the past several weeks and finally had come to what seemed to be a really great deal for both sides.

I’ve been asked to specifically not go in to the specifics of the companies involved nor the details of the agreement but I can tell you that this company was entering an agreement with another provider at the same time we were in talks with them.

Today we received the message that they would no longer be able to work with us as it would compete with a future product they are working on already.

Normally, we’d take this setback and keep going. This however has been another setback in a long line of them that like Nate Westheimer simply shows me and the team here at MOSH mobile that it is time to rethink what we are doing.

Instead of just closing up shop and throwing away all of the hard work that we’ve put in to this startup we’ve decided to rework the majority of software we have and roll them in to future projects and companies and move forward in a different direction with MOSH mobile. While I won’t go in to details on what specifically will be done I can say that the software will be put to good use and that the demand for what it does is already quite high.

As for our current beta testers service will continue for a short period of time but since the group that was allowed to use our service was small and the phones were simply being borrowed we will be sadly discountinuing that service in the near future.

In the near future MOSH mobile will announce the new direction it will be going in.

I’d like to thank the countless people who have offered support to myself and the team on this project. I know that many of us will be continuing to take the company in a new direction and that some of us will be heading off in new directions.

We’ve all learned a great deal of valuable lessons and they will be applied to anything new that we move forward with.

I hope that you’ll continue to follow me here on the blog, via Twitter or by friending me on Facebook as the journey is not yet over… it is merely just beginning.
