I also got a call from this company and they told me exactly the same. They
also explained that there were further opportunities to benefit by sharing a
percentage of the phone support, and the freedom to bill customers for extra
work, like setting up a network etc, at our standard rates.
I haven’t been able to confirm the authenticity of this offer as yet but
interestingly enough the email that I received was from a domain called
idata.co.uk. If you look on the web site they come under a group called IDS.
The first paragraph of their site says;
(Welcome to the IDS Group web site. We are a multi-faceted organisation,
focusing on the design, delivery and support of both small and large software
solutions. We have the ability to integrate our product and services range
within a diversity of industry sectors, spread world-wide.)
But hey, anyone can publish a web page. Personally an offer like this seems to
be too good to be true, & I subscribe to the axiom "If it looks too good to be
true, it probably is!"
Unless there is anyone else out there who has had any experience with these
people, or who knows of any such intensive wi-fi installation program I think
the best thing to do is just wait. There has been no mention of our companies
supplying money upfront. They say they will provide all the equipment &
training etc. If it’s true we'll find out in the fullness of time.
