Services
GlobeNet offers wireless broadband Internet access. The service is DSL speed
with customers only needing a Wi-MAX card/modem and to live within range
of the signal which covers a thirty block radius currently. There are plans to
enlarge the coverage area as more customers sign up.
Other than the students, GlobeNet' customers are fairly affluent (household
income of >$50,000) and spend their money on technology offerings, whether
it is digital cable, cellular service, or broadband Internet connections. The
target customers are also generally well educated with 65% having a college
degree and 20% having a graduate degree. Combining several demographic
factors, GlobeNet arrives at the following primary customer profile:
GlobeNet has chosen the three aforementioned target markets due to their
adoption of broadband Internet technology. It is these three groups that are
most likely to use a fast connection and the most willing to pay a premium for
the connection.
There are three main participants within the consumer broadband Internet
market.
As mentioned in the previous section, DSL, cable, and satellite access are the
competitors in the broadband market. Consumer buying patterns are based
on two factors:
Convenience: this is often based on where the outlet cords are based
in the house, whether the computer will be located closer to the cable
TV or nearer to a phone jack.
GlobeNet believes that it will experience extensive growth for several years for
several reasons. The first is the general adoption of broadband connections
which has been encouraging for the last several years. Another reason
GlobeNet believes their forecast to be accurate is it offers a viable, less
expensive alternative to current broadband connections.

Management Summary
Fahad Karim, founder and president will be the anchor of the management
team. Fahad received his undergraduate degree in computer science from the
HARVARD University. While Fahad enjoyed the course work he recognized
that it was not something that he was interested in pursuing as a career.
Fahad decided that it would be in his best interest to study for an MBA,
however, he was not immediately ready to do this. So Fahad headed off to
Ghana with the Peace Corps to develop community-based trading systems.
Fahad's Peace Corp experience was invaluable, providing him with extensive
project management experience as well as giving him confidence that he
could accomplish anything he set his mind out to do.
After getting back to the States, Fahad began the MBA program at the
University of Chicago. Fahad's course of study concentrated on
entrepreneurial ventures, recognizing at some point his desire to start his own
business. Near the end of his second year, Fahad began to hear about Wi-
MAX technology. He became interested in what he saw was a strong market
need for inexpensive broadband Internet connections transmitted wirelessly,
thereby significantly decreasing delivery costs. Fahad formed GlobeNet
Wireless to fulfill this market need.
