Last evening, MSNBC Nightly News had a brief segment regarding the potential dangers of electro-magnetic radiation. There is significant uncertainty, after $30,000,000 in research, about how certain products that emit this radiation may cause cancer. Hop-on now offers an anti-radiation chip that is an inexpensive way to help eliminate this uncertainty and provide a level of insurance against this radiation.
Hop-on has placed an initial order with the provider and expects delivery within ten business days.
Hop-on will make these anti-radiation products available for sale on its website, through big box retailers and will also be promoting the products through its various MLM relationships and large mass e-mail campaigns.
Hop-on's research has shown the following statistics:
- As of December 2009, there were over 285,000,000 wireless connections in the US, representing penetration of 91% of the US population (from CTIA.org). If Hop-on, Inc. captures one percent of these users with these new products, then potential revenues could exceed $28,000,000.
- Forester Research estimates that there are over 1,000,000,000 PCs in use worldwide today and estimates put new PC sales between 50,000,000 and 70,000,000 for 2010 in the United States alone (from Computer Industry Almanac at c-i-a.com). If Hop-on, Inc. captures one percent of these computer users with their new or old computer screens with these new products, then potential revenues could exceed $99,000,000.
- Approximately 104,000,000 persons in the US have cable TV service (from NCTA.com) and there are over 219,000,000 televisions in use in the US today (from Nationmaster.com). If Hop-on, Inc. captures one percent of these users, then potential revenues could exceed $32,000,000.
Jay Pignatello, President of Hop-on, stated, "Hop-on continues to strengthen its revenue streams in the telecommunications channel. These anti-radiation products can be placed on any device that emits radio frequency radiation and electro-magnetic radiation: cell phones, iPhones, televisions, and computer monitors, just to name a few. These products are ISO certified by Zenith Quality Assessors Pvt. Ltd. The validity of the product, combined with the massive market capacity that these products can impact, opens up a huge revenue stream for Hop-on. We intend to aggressively attack the market and bring attention to radiation caused by these devices."
