It's an ad for a multilevel marketing scheme that apparently sells
long distance.  Another pyramid scheme in my opinion (Amway is similar),
but these are often legal.  They tell you that you are selling a product,
but what they are really doing is selling their "Plan".  They make more
money charging various fees to the people they are supposedly trying
to help make money than they do selling anything else.  They will probably
charge you $100 or more to start, then want you to round up more gullible
people for them so they can charge them the startup fee too.  Then, if
everything works out well, they will want to charge you for motivational
tapes, books, supplies, etc.  You buy everything from them.  Not just
a pyramid scheme, but the old company store scam too.

I speak for myself as a private person, not on behalf of Georgia Tech
or any other entity.
