Hubbed appears to have let the domain for its blog expire, taking it offline. While not a big deal, it shuts down a communicate channel the company had used to promote Hubbed to newsagents. This is happening at a time where there appears to be a shift in the services mix promoted by Hubbed.
This ANF endorsed and promoted business started out seeking long-term financial commitments from newsagents for computer based kiosks for handling bill payment and parcel services. Now, it appears to be more focused on a missed delivery parcel collection service for which no technology kiosk appears to be necessary.
A newsagent spoke with me last week about the challenge of getting out of paying the lease on the kiosk which is not earning the business any money. I suggested they speak to the ANF since it was their endorsement that encouraged them to sign the long term lease finance agreement.
