Chris, I would guess that many wisps may be interested, but you'd pay a pretty high price for that month of service. Anyway, Rick Harnish has created a national map of WISPA members (not all wisps on this list are WISPA members). rharn...@wispa.org would be a good contact email for him. I have copied him on this email as well, in case he misses it on the list. He can give you the URL, since I can't find it at the moment. -- * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/* Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/* Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * *NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] query for the list
We all know what bandwidth costs are like at these shows for vendors. If you don't, the last big show I attended as a vendor cost $1500 for 1.5M for 2 days. Very few shows are as friendly as WISPA regionals and MUMs to vendors. I would say if you are willing to revenue share some of that, you might get a bit more interest. Otherwise, a month of service fees is probably not worth the headache for most WISPs.

Re: [WISPA] query for the list
I didn't mean standard monthly rate. I fully expect these one offs to be rather lucrative for the ISP. I just meant that legally we can't really commit to a year long install on a venue that we're only going to be in for a week or two.

Re: [WISPA] query for the list
Hi Chris, Hopefully life is treating you well. If you have a particular location, posting the specific location and dates may get you replies from those who could possibly provide you with service. Delivering 10-50Megs on short notice and for a short interval is not exactly what everyone looks forward to. However if you have some consistent venues it could be possible to do an install where services could be turned up and down on demand. Feel free to ask any questions. Plus you can always give me a call to. Regards. Faisal Imtiaz NEGIA, Inc.
