Mindich has his hands in many different pies. However, I have to think that, on the whole, that neither the Phoenix nor ‘FNX were great money makers.

However, people forget his main innovation: 900 numbers and similar toll message formats. Recording and replying to personals, chat lines, phone sex lines, etc. Mindich practically invented to the concept and, as I understand it, was a key national player. There was said to be an AT&T office in Cambridge that glowed red and printed money.

I have no doubt that, compared to his other ventures, Mindich’s phone forays were vastly profitable.
