Several of us at dinner last night discussed possibly a "roundtable" approach maybe towards the end of the show. Someone moderate an open ended discussion about what kind of problems we are encountering to be the worst.
For example, a problem I see coming down the pipe is once we get fiber to everyone's home, how do we give the customer as much bandwidth as possible to their wireless devices - especially with comcast modems around us polluting the wifi spectrum. Or I'm doing fiber in a college town. Lot of kids....they encourage their rich parents to buy them the latest and greatest $260 dollar linksys AC router - and there are 30 of them in my building that I pickup while doing a scan - - so none of them work. How do you deal with that. Open ended discussions like that. Since AFMUG is mostly a technical show, I think we should try to solve tech problems. WISPA has a similar discussion for both CEO (business) and technical roundtables....but AFMUG is kind of its own family. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck McCown To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shout out to the mfg crew! Yep, thinking of a bit of a focus on products that are beyond our demarc. Like the last 100 foot problem. Perhaps a Powerline networking shootout or wifi repeater shootout. Or advanced spectrum analysis sweeps of homes or optimum router placement etc. It is a problem that is only going to get worse. Thanks for coming everyone. Tell us what you want to eat and see next year. From: Traci Haslam Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 6:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shout out to the mfg crew! You are welcome!
