The big carriers have learned that if they carry more than about 100 games, it begins to hurt their overall sales. Because there are so many game developer wannabe’s (including me, up until recently), the [...]

I’ve been speaking with some small business tech places recently. These are the guys who will come in and set up your email or web server for your 2-20 person company.
