Something something "ideas are cheap" something something "all that matters is execution"
Yep yep :) Totally obligatory. I used the title as linkbait, admittedly.
I'm not sure if I really get that the idea is really worth $33M in funding. I saw it more of a cool side project that I'd use.
In fact, I don't particularly like Airtime's execution. I'd have done it pretty differently. If they're curious to know how, they can ask me :)

The idea is not worth $33m. The execution, over time, is what might be. The thousands of ideas that were considered, discarded and the hundreds that made it into the current offering are worth close to $0.
Screw execution. All you need is Sean & Shawn to pimp it...
It should be noted that airtime has been in development over 2 years so...
Sure did take 'em a long time and a lot of money huh?
