The examples cited ( which probably few us ever knew they ever attempted ) suitably supplements the article.

There was a miniscule company called Instant Access, then there was Sunbeach, then there was TeleBarbados and then there was Ozone. So success has been non existent because interconnection cost and running a telecommunications service provider is prohibitive to even large companies. Better to invest in Blockchain and Cryptocurrency than sink money in a black hole. Hallam Hope, Barbados.
