I met this guy and got an interview with him at MLG Columbus. Seems like a big announcement, so I thought I'd create a dedicated thread about it.



Vodafone is basically the Verizon of Europe -- they're a huge cell company.



He said there wasn't a dedicated twitter for their new plan/etc, but people could follow his personal twitter for now (which he'll use to update):



I'll see if I can get him to post in this thread as well.



UPDATE:



I talked to Alexis further after I got home, and it appears that I may not have fully understood what he was trying to communicate. It seems that Vodafone lets their employees propose ideas to their marketing department or something like that, and Alexis is preparing a business plan to present to his management.

Anyone know which are these 67 countries he is telling about?

Iamyournoob Profile Joined August 2010 Germany 591 Posts #9 Is there another source confirming this? I mean Vodafone is huge and well known in Europe, but if they put up something big like this I don't understand why some random guy on MLG is the first to tell the world...

Scorch Profile Blog Joined March 2008 Austria 3347 Posts #12 Vodafone sounds like extremely big money. I'm sure they can dwarf NASL in prize money if they want to. I hope they will pull through with the idea and make a well organized league.

Jiddra Profile Joined October 2010 Sweden 2657 Posts #13 This would be great, but why announce it like that? I think I need to see it to belive it, this just a bit to good to be true.



I am not young enough to know everything.

"We're like Verizon". Vodaphone owns 45% of Verizon Wireless, this seems like Edward got trolled. They're pretty big in the UK



Really?



Really? world's largest mobile telecommunications company measured by revenues
