Turns out that he and a couple others are starting a company to provide wireless internet to business such as Coffee shops, hotels, etc.
How does this involve me? Well it turns out they want a partner to handle the Southern Indiana Market.
I am a bit leery since it is a fledgling company. However they have a good, solid business plan and the market is pretty good around here.
I will handle sales and installation to begin with but as the market get large I will be able to hire in people to handle some of the work. I get base pay plus 100 Bucks per sign up and 15-20 percent of the monthly income from each place depending on their usage.
The best part is that It will be pretty easy to work around my school schedule.
Edit: Forgot to mention - in any sort of partnership deal, DO A CONTRACT. Even if you're on good terms with the guys, it provides more structure for the business, make you more appealing to prospective creditors such as banks if you need loans, and can specify in advance the terms of dissolution of the business, division of profits, et al. Its just good to have a legal contract if it goes south, and well worth the $500-$1000 it may cost to have a lawyer who specializes in business law draw up for you guys.

It's not something people hear about.

Mr. Parcelan had this to say about Cuba:
I'd say weigh the pros and cons. If you have more to gain than to lose, then go for it.
Duh?
All in all though sounds like a great opportunity and the best of luck with it.
ponders how they hope to compete with the local cable and phone compaines
good luck though lots of money to be made if you can get a good customer base
