I can see both sides. Since we haven't implemented the new policy yet, we may just charge the $29.99 site survey fee if they decline service after a successful site survey. We only charge $99 for installation and our CPE is provided on a free-to-use basis as we are competing against one other

You are still going to need to do site surveys w/ 700. If you are in rolling terrain, the 700 is going to have the same problem with dirt as 900 c -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of KyWiFi LLC Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 2:07 AM To: WISPA

I can't see charging for a failed site survey, but we do turn down customers that we know that we cannot reach. If we fail 3 customers on Pebble Ridge Drive, then customer numbers 4 and 5 probably won't get a truck roll, but the HOA in the area might get a call to see if we can put in an AP on

It seems more likely that Blair is disqualifying his prospects before spending money on a site survey. One of the best sales skills is the ability to DQ prospects early - it saves the sales guy and the company time and money. If the site survey for the prospect comes back positive, what are

The bigger problem is not costs. Its understandable that the spot goes to the higher bidder. The problem is the understanding of how to lease tower space when its for unlicensed spectrum apposed to licensed spectrum. The tower guys dominently license to license spectrum holders. To teach them

Thats an interesting concept, as long as there are other local tower companies in your markets. Remember GSignal, rolled up a number of tower companies into them a while back to. A lot of preferred tier 1 realestate will be owned by Crown now. The disadvantage is that the large telcos get

Not sure where this is coming from. As a tower owner, these are the concerns we have with leasing space to WISPS. 1. Is the WISP going to be around next month. 2. Who is the WISP going to use for install? 3. What eqipment is going on the tower. Any freqency specific stuff is normally

These are some of the issues that I was referring to. I have no idea how your company works, and what policies you have, but my guess is that if you are a smaller tower company, you's probably do do a better job, just because you's be less likely to be limited by generic policies, and
