We use Basin Insurance in Moses Lake Wa. Gary Troutman has been GREAT. And
he's really done a lot of research into my industry. He's got me on some
very cool insurance programs. Good reasonable stuff.
His number is:

Would he give WISPA a good rate? Anyone interested could get quotes and
maybe he could cut us a break? I want this trade association to get
some members services so people have a reason to join. With added
services comes members and money. With members and money comes pull

He's going to check on what kind of group programs then can come up with for
us.

hear hear. I totally agree with you. I have very little experience with
Insurance, but mine is a million dollar policy we use for towers and
other reasons. Its about $100 a month. I'm sure there's a specialized
insurance company that likely does this. Anyone have a contact at
American Towers?
I think WISPA has expressed its disinterest in a 'buying club'.
However, if members on this list want to organize a 'buying club' - I'm
all for it. Its clearly one of the reasons you will get your ass kicked
by the telco and cable company - they have buying power and can get
what you want and

Kris may be a little behind. He was in Tampa for the ISP Expo Saturday.

Someone asked a while ago about Canopy prices. The last post I did was
on 900 Mhz - okay we all don't live in the Eastern US or other
high-treed areas.
Of course, if you are spending an average of 1 hour a month screwing
around with each subscriber you aren't going to have a successful WISP

Well, I tend to agree. Moto builds cable modems, and other competitive
products. We aren't going to change Moto's pricing policy, product
strategy, or anything else - well, unless we all work together.
I see 500 packs broken all the time - so that's the idea - a bunch of us
put in 1/20th of
Good ideas. Partnering with a successful existing ISPCON would be
great. I'm not close to Baltimore, so it would be my first choice. :-)
I didn't know there was a WISP buying club. That would be a wonderful
thing. Do you mean like Price Club or somesuch? Wow, now if they'd

I just wish people would quit quoting the Q100 or Q500 price to compare
CPE equipment costs.
Quote the Q1 cost. We all know that one can do better in larger
quantity. But most of us don't buy in Q100 or Q500.
Most of us do good to buy Q5 or Q10.
The high CPE cost is what keeps me from even
'people' is me.
note: posting here showed $270 quantity one Moto SM w/power supply on
ebay for example.
Its just a thought. I've bought dozens and dozens of Moto SM radios near
$260 each over the past 12 months all at 5s and 10s quantity. So it can
be done, just wished it would be a bit
I'm not a supplier, nor do I want to be one to the list, nor do I want
to research on behalf of the list.
google:
motorola canopy SM bulk 100 pack.
I picked the first couple of hits that showed prices.. That's it.
I don't do business with Double Radius, so I wouldn't know.

Yes, I believe I was looking at all 900 products.
If a 100 pack is 295, a 500 pack (buying group) might just be
affordable for ma and pa WISP.

I'll bet we could get coverage for the liability, but the riders for
gear might be another thing. If one company handles a ton of WISPs,
that is a lot of lightning pay outs...

First step. Principal Members only. You want a deal, fork over 200

Second step. Find 10 people who want ten units. (500 if possible, but
prolly 100 pack to start)
Third step. Go to

There are so many risks that _someone_ is going to have to assume.
