Waymark Communications

Description

It's 1995…Mark Jones has been selling long distance service, the hottest product for a decade, for four years and he's looking for the next big thing. Ultimately, his search leads him to the Internet…and the dream of building an Internet service provider.He starts with the vision of building a leading-edge provider. Building on his existing success, he partners with one of his existing long distance customers to secure financing. He recruits network engineers from within the industry…young, but already veterans of the Internet. Together, they build a state-of-the-art networking facility.By early 1996, they're almost ready to open the doors…then opportunity and disaster strike, almost simultaneously. A McKinney provider is shutting down and the McKinney Chamber of Commerce requests that Waymark step in…Waymark has its first customers. But, the financial partner has an unrelated financial reversal, pulling the plug on funding future commitments. Jones bootstraps the operation with his own capital…it's nip and tuck for most of 1996.
