Thanks! I knew the concept, but hadn't seen this company before.
This part on their home page worries me a bit:
Their aim should be to make a viable company with a solid enough business plan to actually build something. In other words, they need to make a profit for their investors. All other considerations are secondary. So, I hope this focus on being international doesn't get in the way of that.
Still, it's a great concept and something like it will certainly happen sooner or later. I wish them luck!
