I am 1000% behind telecel. I sort of understand where they are coming
from. Case in point? I'm working on a new website for the domestic
market and when I happened to google the name I'd come up for it, it had
already been taken, and was along the same lines of the website I'm
creating! So is this theivery? No. Just 2 people happened to share the
same idea and may the person with the best product in the end win.
Now I know these guys said they pitched the product to Telecel but the fact is it was already active in other countries as discussed in a previous article and Telecel has the funds for an experienced marketing department that may have had the idea like this in the pipe-line. Sure the marketing department may have "drawn-inspiration" from these guys pitch but then is that now a basis to sue? Its like MySpace suing facebook because Facebook happened to outdo them at social networking though they thought they had it right the first time?
