Hayley Allen Hey Guys, was just wondering if we have a group/company name yet? Any ideas? I was thinking something to do with the track line and wifi/ internet being combined something like Interground or WiLine but they are a bit crappity, so any others?

This is cool, it may look better without the little Wifi logo on it though? or more integrated into the main thing?

Oyster Cards!!
Hayley Allen Just thinking, there is a number on the back of Oyster cards isn't there? Could people use this as their log in details and that way it will automatically come off of their payments on their oyster card? Obviously then everyone would need an oyster, so i was thinking that the wifi/internet could be at a reduced rate fo...r oyster card holders like the fares themselves are and people who are just on there with a normal ticket can register and use it at a slightly higher price? we could then work with the oyster card and it could act as a two way benefit or promotion for oyster and our wifi service? that way our logos and info may get onto their leaflets etc at a lower price to us too?See More
April 16 at 1:58pm ·
Jason Hollis Thats an awesome idea. So the price I came up with could be for oyster card users. Maybe for non oyster card users it could be £1 PAYG (a day), £15 (1gb-3gb not sure on data size yet) and 1 £10 a month?As for osyer card instead of people having to look at there card each time and to not let non osyter card users feel l...eft out, couldn't you link the osyer card with a user name and password the first time they sign up. A for an extra add on i had the idea of text via wifi. You might be able to think of others. Dunno how much extra we could charge for it tho?Thanks for all the awesome ideas.See More

Hayley Allen A bit of info on Oyster cards if you want that as a payment method, our service could be included in this sort of info pack too

Cost, Future Ideas?
Jason Hollis Just to add that remember Virgin train rides are long so can afford the high cost. A lower cost but more passengers will mean we have an edge and might attract more people.

Yeah thats true, I was just looking at a comparable model and thought trains were the closest. We have to think of the next product too, mayb our next ideas could be wifi buses or bus stops, i think bus stops would be cool while people are waiting!
April 15 at 11:25pm ·
Jason Hollis
But we couldn't charge for that as if you have a signal you can have wifi. Just stick with the idea and see how it goes? Sell how ours would work?
April 15 at 11:30pm · Report

You could do it if they are in the middle of nowhere, or in towns outside of london that will not have as much signal. its only an idea, they did say we have to think of future projects for the company too...

That future bit is just there added bit. Some thing to fill the presentation if need be. Well wouldn't future plans be the other underground lines then other underground in the country.

Hayley Allen My thoughts so far:
* Jason where has your pricing come from in the email you sent yesterday?
*In price comparison with Virgin 50P a day is too little
*Has anyone looked into existing models from foreign countries?
*what type of internet would be used, as surely people are more likely to have 3G small devices than those wi...th Wifi?
*what would happen if the customer has more than one device? On mcdonalds wifi you are directed to their website first and have to register and sign in each time, would this be appropriate?let me know what you think :) xxSee More
