In just few easy steps you can create an account and your own mobile network regarding your interests or the interests of a group, a club, your company etc. For each sign-up you as the network leader get payed by Sonopia and in addition to that you also ear a small percentage (3-8%) of the monthly fee your subscribers pay.

You can provide your mobile network with content e.g. a co-branded website for subscriber administration and their profiles. Various kinds of social networking features are available and make it to a community like network.

Sonopia uses the Verizon-Network and just passes the conditions on to its users for a fee. You as the head of the wireless connection of your friends can not only earn their money but also pollute them with your senseless pictures and videos. In my opinion a Twitter function in the network would be useful to keep your subscribers updated.

But honestly the approach is new and innovative and has a chance to gain popularity. But as Michael Arrington at Techcrunch and Nada Collar already wrote: customer information is fairly poor and you don’t really get informed in “a few minutes” about what you just did. Sometimes it’s not all about simplicity, at least it should follow the trend of sophisticated simplicity.
