Hello,

When I first read on this list that Handy Tech would no longer be selling Code Factory’s Mobile Speak licenses, I was truly surprised. 

I called Kelly Dunn, the support specialist at Handy Tech, regarding this.

In short, Kelly told me that the main reason why they are no longer selling MSS licenses is because they cannot afford to do so given that Code Factory has partnered with A T & T.  That is, A T & T can sell the licenses at a subsidized rate–in effect, undercutting smaller vendors.  Further, even though customers are purchasing their licenses from A T & T, they call smaller vendors like Handy Tech for technical support. 

As most of us know, one of the highest costs of doing business is technical support.  It is the primary reason why so many companies have outsourced their tech support teams to countries like India. 

Without being compensated, smaller vendors like Handy Tech, simply cannot afford to support A T & T customers. 

Please note the following two points:

1.
I told Kelly that I was going to send a post of our conversation to the list so no confidence has been breached. 

2.
Kelly informed me that Code Factory has requested a meeting with Handy Tech to discuss this matter further.  So perhaps Handy Tech is not out of the MSS game just yet. 

Until Next Time,

Mark

Well, I am back on stage again. 

The show continues for another day.

In short, I think the entire ordeal was a good thing because it has motivated me to get back on the proverbial road and climb that mountain that is my destiny.  The thought of this brings pure joy to my heart.  No one can or will stop me from my destiny which was ordained before the day I was born.  It is what makes me great; and there is nothing greater except God.

Thank you for being my guardian angel. 

I give you my word that when my ship comes in, you will be on board with me.  Believe me when I say that you have secured passage. 

Love,

Mark Marcus
