Re: [WISPA] Wireless ISP's (leasing)

Who's credit is used?
Does the customer do the leasing?
Are they signing a lease agreement?
If so, what happens if they have bad credit?

going on 5 years now with leasing and we could do 1,000 installs per 
month (assuming we could get the man-power, vehicles, tools, etc.) if 
we wanted.


The other difference is we aren't using VC money or ANY outside 
investments... when we install a new customer, $39 per month is our 
starting package. $10 per month goes to pay for the CPE equipment. I 
don't have to come up with ANY money out-of-pocket, AND the installers 
time, vehicle expenses, gas, tools, etc. are paid for by the customer. 
So, it doesn't cost me a dime to install a new customer. :)

This is all thru our company. We own the equipment when the lease is 
over. Right now, after doing this for 5 years, we still have about 85% 
of our original CPE in the field.
