Today was the announcement date for the partnership between semo.net and Mushroom Networks. We’ve been locally selling the Hydra Internet service since January, but the two companies recently struck a deal to bring Broadband Business solutions to Southeast Missouri.
Touting that deal today are articles in Wall Street Journal and Telephony Magazine.
semo.net is looking for the right person to help us sell our newest product offerings to the business community of Southeast Missouri. We have the exclusive right to sell a new business product in a 100-mile radius from Poplar Bluff. This is a great opportunity.
You do not have to have a technical background to do this job, however you must have a great sales background. You will get plenty of training and access to our support team during sales meetings.
You will be asked to set up meetings with Southeast Missouri businesses both online and in person and then follow up that meeting with your sales savvy to close the deal.
We are looking for a highly-motivated, local-area, sales person interested in a commissions-based position. Commissions as high as $500/sale are available.
To be considered for the position please drop a resume by semo.net at 1877 N Westwood Blvd in Poplar Bluff, or email your resume to brian@semo.net.
semo.net’s new Hydra! service provides the business-class reliability that equals that of a T1 but supersedes the speed by providing 10mb/s download and 5mb/s upload.
Introduced in January, semo.net’s Hydra solution is giving businesses the opportunity to download and upload at speeds never available to Southeast Missouri.

This past week, Microsoft announced that David Porter will head up their Retail Chain. Porter has spent the past two years with Dreamworks and 25 years before that with WalMart.
Unfortunately, here in Southeast Missouri, Microsoft will probably not be on a corner near us any time soon (or ever for that matter). But just like Apple users who trek to St Louis every few months for an IV injection of all things Apple, I’m sure a Microsoft store in St Louis would drain a few local gas tanks.
Confession: Even though my wife’s iPod is our only apple product, I cannot walk past an Apple store. The Apple logo in a like a giant bug light—drawing the geek in my through its doors. I’ve enjoyed the Apple flagship stores in New York and Chicago as well as smaller ones located in malls.
Just like every other company, Microsoft constantly needs to shift, re-shape, and re-market itself for the next generation. [insert your favorite Vista joke here!] I certainly look forward to walking into a Microsoft store complete with the latest in home entertainment, home networking, computing, gaming and more.
I’ve never done this before, but today I called my senators and representative of the U.S. Congress.
I’ve been reading about this “stimulus bill” and I don’t like it. Two weeks ago I saw the mayor of Virginia Beach on the television and he was trying to get part of the stimulus package for his town. He said that for $3.4 million he could employ 11 new employees to repaint their water treatment plant. WHAT? $308,000 is the going rate for a painter these days? Give me $3.4 million dollars and I can employ 50 new people and bring broadband internet to all the places in Southeast Missouri that don’t have it.

“Selling Short is a natural part of Capitalism.”
When I heard this statement come through my TV speakers, I shouted back at the bobbing head on the screen. I couldn’t disagree more with that statement.

Hydra! – Business-Class Internet Service
Proven by the recent storms…Hydra! proven to stay online in adverse weather!
In order to help the Black River Coliseum shelter area residents who are still without power, the Chamber of Commerce banquet which was scheduled for this weekend has been postponed. The new date will be February 27th.
One of the biggest problems with providing Internet access to business customers is:
ALL types of internet services fail at some time.
Whether its a T1, wireless, cable internet, or DSL, no one platform is perfect. We here at semo.net have been working on a new service that reduces downtime and increases bandwidth for business customers. Read the rest of this entry »
