Description:
I'm located in Charlottetown, PEI having returned after working as an IT consultant for many years in Calgary. A snapshot of my proposal follows:
1. Our goal will be to provide peer-to-peer networking for the dissemination of text-based information in the form of files, audio and video free of charge to the Internet community. We plan to onboard a major retailer as sponsor to generate advertising revenue.
2. Deployment of the service will be legal and in accordance with Canada's copyright laws. This will be outlined in the Business Plan
3. Sponsers will pay for every registered users. Users will receive incentives through registration. This is explained in the Business Plan
4. Potential target 30% of Canadian population downloads content via peer-to-peer network. This was determined in a study conducted by Industry Canada in 2005. Another study indicates that 1.5 million US citizens visit P2P sites.
5. Proposed location in the Atlantic Technology Centre, Charlottetown
6. Plan to be operational in 1 to 2 months
