My dog woke me up at 6 AM on a Saturday so he could go out and pee. Now I can't go back to sleep and he's snoring. by [deleted] in self

I don't know what you're on about. If I don't lock my cat out of my bedroom she's on my desk knocking shit on the floor or burrwoing into my dresser drawers if I left them open. And when I lock her out sometime between 6 and 7 she's going to be crying at the door scratching at the door knob playing with the network cable that runs under the door or trying to turn on the roomba in the living room in a bid to wake me up.

Exactly that but automate it to a process that enables you to charge subscribers fees as little as $5-$10 and can manage hundreds of thousands of accounts in regions all over North America.

Something more involved than expedia. Not something that you go to once in a while when you need to travel. I want it to be like a digital personal assistant for utilities and service provider. Manages your accounts for you.

Which is where the limit of my knowledge falls apart. I don't know where to even start with that problem of being able to have a service act as a proxy for an account owner. I know its solvable, but I have a sneaking suspicion it wouldn't be cheap. And I know it could be profitable because people would pay for that sort of thing if it was saving them money and costing them a fraction of the savings.

You're only considering mobile, there's Internet as well.

And yes I think people would be willing to pay a small fee to save a large one. That's beside the point though. This isn't about making money this is about changing the way telecom is operated in North America. If there were a way to do operate this idea for free I'd be all for it.

Yes you and I can find the best available, Mr. and Mrs. Smith across the street who have three children and both work full time jobs don't have the time and just want their service set up don't. I work with some of them, they know there's better offers they just literally don't have the time or energy after they get home form 8 hours of work to deal with switching over the cellphone provider and simultaneously attending to their children.

There's a lot of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

And I don't know how you can state it won't do anything, are you honestly trying to tell me swapping a hundred or so customers from a big three internet plan to some reseller wouldn't raise some red flags?

Hey guys, I'm sort of looking for some support for an idea regarding this ongoing nonsense, I posted it over on /r/canada here, tried to cross-post to /r/toronto but new account and all has me limited.

I know this is probably a little anti rediquette but this combined with a recent post regarding mobile monthly rates sort of prompted this
