Take from CNN

“In Amsterdam a 37-year-old woman suffering from an inoperable brain tumor wants to donate a kidney before she dies and will choose the recipient from among three contestants on Dutch national television, a TV network said (on) Tuesday, claiming it wants to highlight a crisis in organ donations.

Asked to intervene, the government said it was unable to stop the broadcast, regardless of how distasteful — and even unethical — it might be. And it’s unclear whether the contestants are a medical match with the terminally ill woman, and whether the winner would be capable of receiving her kidney.”

You get to vote in via SMS for who gets the chance to live, assuming the contestant turn out to be compatable. This is dispicable profiting from sick individuals.

Imagine going through all the efforts of setting up an online brand and introducing it to the public only to have someone who owned the .Com domain to cash in on your efforts. Well it seems this is whats happening to
Roam4Free. Roam4Free.ie is a sim card which allows you to roam for a fraction of the cost of normal networks and recieve free calls in 115 countries. Its one of the products that i’ll be including in my new online store of FreeCallsClub when i finally get it launched in the next two weeks.

With it’s growing popularity due to word of mouth and its ability to save customers hard cash; its becoming a big success story and the new version due for launch soon, which promises some revolutionary changes to the roaming market, it’s only going get bigger and bigger. No surprise then that people are trying to cash in on the success.

Roam4free.com, a non affiliated site who happened to own the lucrative name have advertised a “Roam4Free” sim card. Offering a 50 – 70% discount on calls in opposed to the up to 90% Roam4Free.ie offer! Its an easy mistake to make to just put a .com after a brand name your looking for and in this case could be costly.

It’ll be interesting to see what CEO of Roam4Free.ie and friend of mine Pat Phelen thinks of the new comers.
