Marc Andreessen

Andreessen developed MOSAIC at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. That was the first Internet browser that I used at Fermilab in 1994. I got excited about the possibilities of the new technology. When I went back to Mexico I tried to convince a few friends to start on-line businesses, but failed. As it turned out most of the Mexican telephone business, including Internet, went to Carlos Slim by the power of monopoly.

As the note below states Marc Andreessen is still in the business of creating new things. His company, Ning, may have a better success chance, than if I go back to Mexico and try to convince Mr. Slim of the potential of this new medium.
