[WISPA] Transit and transport providers list
Brian Webster suggested that we make a list (posted to the WISPA site) of bandwidth carriers. I'd be happy to help on this effort, but I certainly don't have the time (or the programming skills) to dedicate to make it what I would like to see. I'm thinking as grand as type in a ZIP code and it tells you the nearest POP meeting certain characteristics of which could be carrier, technologies supported (wireless, TDM, Ethernet, etc.), service type (DIA, dark fiber, PtP transport, MPLS transport, etc.), and others. It could be as simple as just a basic list of companies. What would you guys like to see? I'm thinking that people could contribute their knowledge of what's available, then someone confirms if that's true or not. In comes the problem of carriers thinking of their POP locations and capabilities as a hush, hush secret instead of a marketing tool. I think this would be a great tool to have as a benefit to WISPA membership, but alas my effort would be self defeating as I'm not a WISPA member (funds). - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Transit and transport providers list
I can create a Google Map interface with address lookup capability and plot any address lists for POP's and such that people can feed me. This data needs to not be under an NDA however and the map would have to be on a public portion of a web site (Maybe the WISPA site). I can host it if there are no other takers. The key would be a good address list with contact information.

Re: [WISPA] Transit and transport providers list
Well, come to think about it... I could just join monthly for a month or two until I had the funds for an annual membership. If the board would like, I could work my way through my head thinking of companies and seeking out contacts, requesting whatever information Brian needs to make this a reality. The real punch would be doing so on WISPA's behalf instead of my own behalf. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Brian Webster bwebs...@wirelessmapping.com Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 10:21 AM To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Transit and transport providers list I can create a Google Map interface with address lookup capability and plot any address lists for POP's and such that people can feed me.

Re: [WISPA] Transit and transport providers list
Is the public portion of the website a requirement of Google Maps? or something else? ryan Brian Webster wrote: I can create a Google Map interface with address lookup capability and plot any address lists for POP's and such that people can feed me.
