probably although isnt their economy tanking about now? And hasnt it been for a while? Does that not mean income would be a little harder to come by (businesses generally derive income from customers, who get income from other businesses, who ... you see where I am going). You may want to look into what some are reporting as the southern half of the eurozone going into the toilet economically, countries by name I have heard mentioned (but havent investigated personally) are portugal, spain, italy and greece. I dont know what their current state is, this was about 2 months ago or so (the last ECB meeting discussing rates). I know that Barcelona had a fuel shortage, 40% or so of the gas stations couldnt afford to buy any new fuel, which of course caused trucks to refuse to deliver there for fear of not being able to refuel to get out, some panic buying on food, and a big grinding halt on the local economy because there were no products to sell, that however may have corrected itself completely by now, it too was 2 or so months ago. Generally when the economy starts going down the only thing you can sell is a way to save money, which certainly some of what you listed could provide that but the up front costs also have to be inline with what is available. With that said Barcelona is a fairly large city, and there are some businesses that are probably not suffering at all, especially international ones who do not rely on the local economy to make a profit, the key is knowing who can afford whatever it is that you want to sell, how much they would be willing to pay, and market to them specifically. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
