I have been a beta tester from the early days as well. Great product and it does roam on to the Verizon network when you don’t have Sprint coverage.

Re: [WISPA] Google luring Business Market with Wifi gear?
That is their drawback for some and the reason being they have to build a custom ROM that has their Wi-Fi programming in it and then they have to get Sprint to test and approve the phone for their network. The availability of the Moto X and G phones along with the older DefyXT give a little more choice than when they started service. My son just received his MotoG and loves it. Doesn't do 4G data but Sprint has not upgraded their network here anyway. My older kids will be getting Republic phones by the end of summer. This will shave $150 a month from my cell phone costs and since we all have Android phones now it's not a major change. I will just lose my slide out keyboard. The big plus will be not having to worry about the kids going over on the shared data plan. They are good about that now but it is one less worry.

Re: [WISPA] Google luring Business Market with Wifi gear?
I haven’t found an area on Verizon where it won’t roam yet. The sprint coverage around rural NY is spotty at best off the interstate corridors but Verizon Coverage is strong, roams just fine with both data and voice. If you search the republic blog on their site they actually go in to detail about how many of their customers do this and the minutes used over the whole, they say it still falls well within their business model. The real neat thing about Republic is that the voice and texts also work over Wi-Fi, that means if you are in a no cell coverage area but can connect to Wi-Fi you now have cell coverage without having to use a FemToCell home base station connected to broadband.

Great, so sell service to a business, they put in the discounted equipment and then receive phone calls from the customer complaining about the speed because Google's customers are streaming video off their connection...

The future is going to be interesting for sure. A few questions come to mind. Is there a business model where WISP's can partner with a Google or Microsoft to help advance our offerings or would you be just selling your soul to Satan. How do you compete against that level of investment if they start putting up hotspots to offload from the LTE networks in your area since that will most likely destroy 2.4 and 5.7-8 bands.
