Tolly Marcus’s Summary

I offer a substantial international network of advanced communications and media professionals including many various network operators, systems integrators, and developers of both software and hardware solutions. One of my first significant wireless intergrations occurred in 1999 for the North American International Auto Show or “NAIAS” in 13 Top American Cities for the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, as a new way to capture consumer opinions for analysis both qualitatively and quantitatively affecting future Automotive engineering decisions. I also combine a significant amount of experience as an entrepreneur. I served as the Director of Technology for Detroit’s famed Pop Culture Media Inc. Where I “Proposed and Closed” sponsorships from companies that included Apple Computers, Ablelton, Native Instruments, Steinberg, Guitar Center, MidiMan, Rootlevel, SimpleWire (now OpenMarket) Redbull and finally Zing a company that I would one day own. In late 2000 I began serving as Director General for Zing a subsidiary, wireless start up company for Detroit's leading software company” RootLevel”. While working directly with its Founder and "Michigan’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year" for the year, Mr. John Lauer, together Lauer and myself produced a landmark service offering to the economically challenged residents and businesses of Detroit. It is here that I immersed myself into the early adaptations and experiments with the “WISP” business model. In 2003, I legally acquired all the assets, trademarks, and customer contracts of Zing LLC and reorganized it then to become the first of its kind, pre Wi-Max solution provider and now on its 3rd incarnation, now into a legendary 4G WiMAX Operator.
