You do need someone to run the proxy however, and the proxy cops the

service, surely we don't want to repeat that mistake?
I didn't suggest your service should be free. I was giving Tom a
recipe for global domination of his market, you are welcome to use it
as well.
It goes like this:
1. You provide high quality messaging for GPs and Specialists at no
cost. It doesn't even have to be open source.
This will cost you some money but you no longer need to put resources
into the hardest part (sales), so it saves you some too.
2. Your product grows exponentially until you have almost blanket
market share.
3. A big fish decide they want to do something very similar on a big
scale, let's say, the government and electronic discharge summaries.
They see your dominance in the market and guess who gets the tender
with all the directions left in?
This is a time tested formula for success. The trick is getting to
point 2 before your competitor gets as smart as you.
cheers,
Peter.
