RE: [WISPA] Gov't Gets One Right
The novelty of it all (being a WISP) tends to wear off after about 5 years, eventually it becomes about the money. It should always be about the money. You have to think about your business as a separate being. You do whatever you need to make that critter grow and be healthy. Your first goal is to stay in business. Your second goal should be returning shareholder value, even if you are the only shareholder. You've taken risk, either with your own or someone else's money. The investor should receive a return on that investment well above market rates to reflect the level of risk. As Tom has said here before, we are in the sales business. Wireless is the service we are selling. Don't get too caught up in the me vs. the big guys argument. Don't fall in love with the technology. Make your business healthy, show strong ROI and when the time is right, make the right move. Sooner or later the bigger operators will come along just because their model holds up better than an independent operator. They can achieve great economies of scale, have wider reach and deeper pockets to invest in people, marketing and technology. Why bang your head against the wall trying to figure out how to beat them when it is much more productive spending that time making yourself so invaluable that they have to take you out to get what you have. If you examine the trends in various communications technologies over the last 30 years- paging, cellular, dial-up IP- they have all followed consolidation models. The small operator got in first, got a license where needed, hammered out a territory and started adding customers. Eventually, someone wanted those customers and that territory. For the operators that understood the timing and opportunity equation there was money on the table. Eventually the big operators buy enough territory and market share. Then they can settle down to the business of getting more $$ out of this larger customer base. When this happens the deal making can cool off pretty quickly. If you are still in the game at this point your valuation can decline rapidly. Always leave the dance while you are still having fun. chris I think what you are going to find is that the big WISP isn't going to be able to come to town and bully everybody. Instead, they are going to have to fork over the cash or not be competitive and secure themselves. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] Gov't Gets One Right
Quote from another email: Lately? Nope not yet. It took them some time before they got in the Ma Bell's faces too. I (and others) are trying to stop it before it happens, not try and live with it when it does. There is NO sector where the government has steeped in that things really got better in the long run. Look at telcom, we are back to 3 super players and a handful of once large ones trying to hang on. Pete Davis said the same thing but with much better words.

When the bureaucrats get to making things like this a required service (which they inevitably will in our lifetimes) then there will be no difference than a utility or postal service, with prices capped and profitability extinguished. Another thing that will take us this direction will be the mass consolidation similar to the 250 phone companies that all became ATT in the first part of the 1900's. They all were either bought up or squashed by the competition. Maybe we won't all end up like that. Hard to say.

Im with Tom- many people just aren't willing to pay what the service costs. I wish they were though.

Re: [WISPA] Gov't Gets One Right
News flash for you: This is where we are today. RBOCs and MSOs control the last mile. Neither has to share. WISPs, BPL, and Muni projects will be the 3rd pipe. (I don't count cellular because that is RBOC). Pete Davis wrote: Think that's not bad for the entrepreneurs? Try starting a water company that competes with the city's water system.

[WISPA] Fw: [Board] USF Distribution Webcast ON NOW
Did anyone else see this yet? If you watch it now, things don't start till about 15 or 16 minutes into the stream (at least that was the case last night). I don't know about you guys, but *I'm* VERY impressed with Ben Scott from Free Press! He certainly seems to think along our lines. And he's very well spoken too. Anyway, a few things caught my attention. One was a Senator that said that there should only be one entity getting USF funds in a given area. Wha? Another was that USF needs to be expanded to cover broadband. It was mentioned that the unused TV bands should go unlicensed (by a senator no less). Here's the biggest kicker though. They said over and over that USF has to change. And will change. They are looking for ideas on how to collect and distribute the funds better. It needs to cover communications not just telephone. Communications includes broadband (us, sat., cable, etc.). I think that the WISP industry needs to jump on this while the iron is hot. We have two opportunities here as I see it. One is to get more spectrum (hopefully with usable rules) and the other is to get the same subsidies as the telcos get today in rural markets. Please watch the video (actual viewing time of about 1.5 hours and most of it is enlightening or funny).

[WISPA] Two issues: Bandwidth Shaper and 24x7 tech support
Hi all,Two separate issues here:First, what's the current industry favorite for a bandwidth shaper, primarily for a hotspot? All kinds of stuff out there. Basically looking for something that can rate limit down to 256kbps based on username, IP address, OR Mac address. Something that will also limit down based on protocol (P2P apps primarily of course) as well.Also, have a client that wants us to be able to provide 24x7 support / 99.99% SLA level service on a 1.5meg wireless connection and is the "backbone" for the above hotspot. I'm a small shop and don't have the personnel to do this. Does anyone have any recommendations first off on outsourcing overnight tech support, and second, what to charge for something like this? I'm in a rural area where a PtP T1 (wired) runs around $1200 per month with this kind of SLA. 1.5meg ADSL is only other non-wireless competition here, and no SLA on the DSL of course.I would appreciate thoughts on both of the above. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] Two issues: Bandwidth Shaper and 24x7 tech support
Not sure on the shaper For the other Charge him $1000 a month and give him your Cell phone for after hours support. If you can not meet the SLA for any reason give him a credit per day ($1000/30days) for service. This way he gets his SLA, your still cheaper than theT-1 solution,and you can credit him half a months service and still make a profit.
