Re: [WISPA] Adzilla Revenue Streams

2006-03-07 Thread Peter R.
I worked with Martin at Adzilla on a Conference Call to introduce him to 
some prospective ISPs.

(http://www.rad-info.net/partners/adzilla.htm)
Adzilla is a possible revenue stream for ISPs through ad replacement. 
(Instead of them seeing the ILEC ad, they can see you ad). It is 
definitely worth a listen to.


For larger ISPs (25k subs or higher), there is another revenue 
generation stream: Bare Fruit. 
(http://www.rad-info.net/partners/barefruit.htm)
When your users get a HTTP error (like 404 or 500) from a search, the 
Bare Fruit server will offer up a page of links along with the message 
that the page you click on was unavailable, perhaps these links would 
be suitable.
The links come from a search of the clicked link and each click through 
pays the ISP. (This can amount to huge revenue).


These are some of the ways for an ISP to gain revenue from its existing 
network of eyeballs. (In both cases, no upfront costs for the ISP either).

Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System

2006-03-07 Thread Brian Whigham

Bill,
Are you talking about an Auto Attendant that can provide precanned
messages for callers like a call center does?  For example, your
cellular providers's support center will make you key in various option
codes to talk to the correct department.  If that's what you're looking
for, use Asterisk PBX.  It's  an open-source PBX server.

see http://voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk
http://www.digium.com/

I can help you set up a server, if needed.

RE: [WISPA] Adzilla Revenue Streams

2006-03-07 Thread Eric DaVersa
Charles - glad to hear that John is speaking at WiNOG! Your attendees
should find his presentation VERY interested.

We partnered with Adzilla recently.  With our growth in the Citywide
Wi-Fi market and all the FREE offerings out there, I did a lot of
research on advertising models to help Network Operators make money.  In
the end, Adzilla really was far ahead of the curve.  

Imagine this concept...the more my network is used, the more money I
make. Hmmm...INCONCEIVABLE!!!

The thing that Network Operators can't seem to grasp is, What do you
mean I stick this appliance at my POP and you start sending me checks?

The answer is YES.  But since Network Operators are so foreign to the
concept of advertising it generally requires a long explanation and a
PowerPoint (it's OK - I needed that too.) grin

The advertising can be tweaked to the point that the ads are virtually
unnoticeable to your clients.  Adzilla has developed a proprietary way
to deliver more relevant, localized ads in partnership with ad servers
and web publishers.

For a Network Operator, you have some incredible new tools as part of
the package.  You have a GUI interface where you can insert messaging
DIRECT TO THE DESKTOP.  This means, Dear Customer, your payment is 7
days past due, your account will be shut off if you do not pay within x
hours. 

It can also be used for marketing direct to the desktop!  Imagine that -
a message for your VOIP service to raise ARPUs, or other new service
enhancements.

It's really quite revolutionary.  I'll be glad to explain more to anyone
who's interested.

Respectfully,

So you want something that calls out to a list of numbers right?   You can 
get the software that the new automated telemarketers are using.  I have 
seen it several times  but I do not remember where.  It basically  calls a 
list of numbers and plays a pre recorded message.

Hi Brian,

I'm actually looking for something not quite as complex.  I need a
system that I can enter a list of numbers (won't change often-mostly
cell phones), and once a night have it call the list of numbers and play
a message.

I can work with a pre-recorded message where I just call in and activate
the sequence.  I would prefer to be able to call in each night and leave
a new message, and then have it call each number and replay the message.

I'm sure asterisk would do this, but is probably overkill for my needs.
  I'm looking for something simple to setup and administer, so that down
the road I can turn it over to someone else to maintain the list.

I have an older PC and a voice-capable modem that I can use for this.  I
can also give it a public IP so it can be administered from anywhere.

Thanks,
Bill

Yeah, of course Asterisk can do that.  You could buy a turn-key system

I see that there are online services which are pay per use as well.  I

Re: [WISPA] 5.4 very close now

2006-03-07 Thread Steve Stroh


Rick:

I think you're confused with 3.65 GHz (still in the works, FCC proposed 
contention-based sharing mechanism.)


This is an additional 255 MHz of spectrum around 5.4 GHz and IT 
requires Dynamic Frequency Sharing (I think?) - DFS - basically if the 
radio hears a US DOD RADAR system, it changes channels to get out of 
the way.


It's low power, but some interesting gear should come out for 
high-bandwidth, relatively short-range.



Mac:

It IS available to everyone - we'll see it used for WLANs. Good news 
is that it may well be enough to encourage WLANs and cordless phones 
to use that portion of the spectrum instead of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

[WISPA] OT: VoIP termination

2006-03-07 Thread Brian Whigham
I don't know what volume Matt's dealing with.  But, I haven't checked 
the lowest prices in a few months; so my interest was piqued.


Here's what I found.  If anyone has any experience with these providers, 
let me know.  Both provide IAX2 and SIP.


sellvoip.net (since '97)
Product Monthly CostSetup Cost  Usage Cost
Local DID   $1.00   $1.00   $0.011 per minute
Toll-Free DID   $1.00   $2.00   $0.020 per minute US 48*

LNP available
DIDs were local to many rural GA areas (where I am)

plainvoip
USA termination - $0.009
Toll-free terminatoin - $0.005
6/6 billing

Currently, I use voipjet.com and voxee.com with much success.  Domestic 
rates are $0.013 and $0.011 per minute, respectively.  I think they both 
bill 6/6.

Re: [WISPA] Blocking ripe network ip space?

2006-03-07 Thread Eric Merkel
Is there a place to get a list of currently allocated IP space by
country? I am considering doing something similar but will probably
not do an all out block but maybe do some connection rate limiting of
IP space from those countries.

 Technically, there shouldn't be any major issues. Heck, depending on
 what kind of router you use, you may even be able to automate the
 process (completewhois and Team Cymru both offer a number of crazy BGP
 feed options, you may be able to just get a BGP feed from one of them
 that has a more-or-less current list of RIPE IPs and just route 'em to
 Null0).

 I'm real close to just blocking all of China and Brazil for the same
 reason - too much spam and random DDOS traffic originating from there.
 (I haven't seen very much from RIPE space, by comparison.)

 There is bound to be more than a few legitimate applications hosted in
 RIPE space that, sooner or later, you or one of your end-users will want
 to see. Consider starting with merely blocking SMTP traffic, or (if
 your mail filtering system supports this) just tagging mail from RIPE
 space as potential spam. And there are other ways to detect and block
 potential DDOS traffic, though I can't afford most of them, so I'm not
 the best person to ask on that point.

 If you really want to stir something up, go ask this question on the
 NANOG list. :D

 I can tell you for a fact it is 5.0volts/ 4.00A (it 
also has a propriteary end)and it is an Orinoco AP2000 Power supply as the

[WISPA] New revenue stream

2006-03-07 Thread A. Huppenthal
I have client who asked me if a tasteful nude picture web server would 
be okay to deploy on the network.


They are willing to pay 5 times the normal rate for co-location, plus 
additional fees for high load times.


When I called Qwest to find out about their policy they said they aren't 
in the business of clensing the net or otherwise filtering content.


Since this server is not one of the companies, I wonder what sort of 
liability exists..


It appears this is a huge source of revenue. In fact the same crew says 
they want to provide DRM downloadable movies of the adult nature.


Now I've watched with some interest, what the major hotel chains are 
doing and how much pay per view adult movies add to their bottom line. I 
don't think this is a simple - you know I don't like it myself  - 
answer. Its policy, revenue and finding the proper ground.


Any experience with this?

  Rick,
  I can certainly understand that many among us are offended by the very 
  mention of nudity on the internet, however, I do not understand why the 
  topicin question cannot be discussed on the WISPA list. I 
  understood the WISPA lists to be a forum of discussion to determine how 
  'members' felt about the activities of the FCC, and how we could have our 
  interests represented, for example. 
  Rick why is it 'not proper' for us to discuss the propriety of allowing 
  nude web sites, or not allowing, based upon the free and open discussion of 
  the precise impropriety of the question Mr. Huppenthal asked? I am a 
  paid member, I do not allow, if I know, sexually explicit material on my 
  system. Notwithstanding, I believe that an open discussion of the very 
  issue Mr. Huppenthal raised might clear the air and set some valuable 
  guidelines forus all.

  Qwest to find out about their policy they said they aren't in the 
  business of clensing the net or otherwise filtering 
  content.Since this server is not one of the companies, I 
  wonder what sort of liability exists..It appears this 
  is a huge source of revenue. In fact the same crew says they want to 
  provide DRM downloadable movies of the adult nature.Now I've 
  watched with some interest, what the major hotel chains are doing and 
  how much pay per view adult movies add to their bottom line. I don't 
  think this is a simple - you know I don't like it myself - answer. Its 
  policy, revenue and finding the proper ground.Any experience 
  with this?-- WISPA Wireless List:

[WISPA] Moderation Duties and Criticism

2006-03-07 Thread Rick Harnish








To All,



I took over the moderation of the wireless@wispa.org list about a year and
one half ago. The previous moderator handed over the reigns for a variety
of reasons but many of which were criticisms about how he did his job and the
personal stress involved. I have received the same criticisms and have
let them hit my thick skin as gracefully as I could. 



This position is not a fun one, I need to try and keep up
with about 5 WISPA listservs as well as other duties for 50 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists. Tonight, I was
about 75 messages behind when I found time to catch up. Alexs post
with the title, New Revenue Stream was one of the newest messages
when I checked. I will admit, I wasnt in the best mood when I read
it. Knowing that this list is publicly monitored, I really did not feel
it was the proper place to discuss hosting pornography and describing how
profitable it could be. I try to be pretty liberal in my moderation
duties, but I felt this one stepped over the line. Several of you feel I
was in error. Possibly.



I have received a few complaints about my decision. This
decision to moderate in no way harbored ill thoughts towards Alex
Huppenthal. I would have responded the same way on that thread for any
poster. I am disappointed he took my action so deeply to heart. Normally,
I would not let a few complaints bother me, but in this case I am choosing to
respond. While I stand by my decision that this was not proper content
for this list, I will allow the thread to continue if the members feel it is
important. If you feel I was in error, feel free to contact me offlist. 





Respectfully,





Rick
Harnish
