RE: [WISPA] Is your ISP worth more than 1.2x ?

2007-04-03 Thread Matt Liotta
I don't think Speakeasy's valuation is comparable to that of a fixed wireless operator. One thing to keep in mind though is that while a revenue multiple is a reasonable way to value a company you need to think about what the actual result would be. For example, we offered to buy another WISP for

We are just in the early stages of doing a group effort. The reason why these guys don't is kind of shallow in some respects. They need to certify it so they can build a complete solution. Once they sell a kit and we change things around and build it ourselves, it's no longer that certified

I disagree completely. The choice to use MT or StarOS has nothing to do with the hardware. My decision to use MT was entirely based on the software features. Some of my MTs run on Routerboards, others do not. If the Routerboard hardware meets my needs at a price I like, I use it. If it
