"I am pleased to know that Nasser Hamedani (Two Dog Net, Inc. founder and creator) and Sholeh Hamedani (TCI CEO) are being very selective in choosing their 'partners' to support the launch of this fabulous product, and we at HBR are delighted to be on the team."
"Andrew's credentials are impeccable," said Sholeh Hamedani. "Internet marketing, albeit only one leg of our multifaceted marketing strategy, is critical to our success.

This is an awesome challenge and The Children's Internet meets it head-on and conquers it!"
