Comsearch is still pushing their promotion, which I believe is the
cheapest option.

Has anyone here taken the CPI training, either online or in
person? Any
recommendation which is best? I'm thinking online would be
more self-paced,
but WISPA is offering in person at WISPAmerica. However that
likely means
staying an extra day.
Also what format does the exam take? Is it in person if you
take the course
in person? Online at a later date? Retake if you fail? Does
anyone fail?

The other thing about giant tech companies like Google,
Amazon, and SpaceX is they can do even giant projects at a
loss. Eventually they may intend to make a profit, but
meanwhile they have used other peoples money to drive you out
of business. There are also startups that lose money like
crazy chasing market share, like ridesharing and coworking
companies, although big funds like Softbank seem to be
learning not to throw billions at startups without a business
plan to reach profitability.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] The Future
I'm still very wary of this. There seems to be a lot of
over-promising under delivering. In typical Elon fashion, no
details but the world runs with it and puts out all these data
models that make it seem like the second coming of christ.
Customer CPE is a pizza box ufo <$200 and they are starting in
2020, but there's no pictures or details. How is that even
possible? We're buying 450b at a more expensive cost and there
ain't no phased antenna with motors in it.
Then all you read online is the cult following of spaceslax
who takes a twitter post as gospel and just keeps perpetuating
the same tired information.

Chuck needs a pool so he can sit by the pool and eat Vienna

That's why this list is the best.

I did it online through Commscope. It goes pretty fast.
Online sessions and test are a big afternoon to a full day.
Keep in mind that it is a permanent relationship between who
you get certified through and yourself as a certified
individual. Not a one time class and you are done with
them. You will have an ongoing relationship to keep your CPI
credentials. It isn't too big a deal, but some folks might
want to work with a company to get CPI certified that they
already have a relationship with since their ID is tied to the
training company that certifies them.
My advice would be to do it online when you can and not waste
time at WISPAmerica on it. No reason to wait for WISPAmerica
from what I can tell. Steve did the same I think. Steve
any thoughts on that?
