And want to learn, how a investor gets something in return? Is it just money back over time?

Why not join in? Join forces with your wireless ISP friend. Then, create a distributed hosting service between all of the access points, something you have the experience to do. To a customer it looks like http, but the backend intercepts the httpd request and uses something like bittorrent with various weightings. With a few peering points, you'll be able to have: - A wireless ISP with routing redundancy - Leverage that same redundancy for hosting - Market the hosting service as "accellerated for wireless users", which might attract some customers marketing specifically to that growing niche. If you get it far enough you can be bought out by a large telco for a huge sum of money and invest in something entirely new :) Anything with “wireless” in its business plan is going to attract attention right now, just like anything with “internet” did during the bubble.
