Interview with Brian McConnell of Radio Handi
How did the idea for Radio Handi evolve out of Open Communication Systems?
Open Communication Systems was founded to build communication services that are inexpensive, easy to use and based upon open standards. Radio Handi, our group communication and conferencing platform, is our first commercial product.
How do you think this technological evolution will affect global information transfer?
Radio Handi makes it easy and inexpensive for small and large
companies to communicate with widely dispersed workgroups. Like other next generation telecom services, it makes location and distance irrelevant, and enables even the smallest company to communicate in ways that were once only accessible to the largest corporations.
What has been the single biggest up and the biggest down in
getting this project off of the ground?
Dealing with Silicon Valley finance people. Regrettably, a
disproportionate percentage of them are assholes.
Bonus: What is your vision for the greatest possible use of this technology?
See above.
