Business plans based upon credit or federal subsidy seem to be a risky
proposition right now.
We want nothing to do with USF funds, period.
Our business model and expense/debt/overhead is prepared to weather just
about anything except federal nastiness.
There must be some sort of tolerance. Units work between 48 and 55v?
Something to that affect.

Yes, the normal float voltage for flooded cell batts is 2.25 VPC. For a 48
Volt battery that is 24 cells x 2.25 = 54 volts. Some folks charge at 55
volts.
Then during discharge, some consider 1.8 VPC to be the lower limit. 24 x 1.
= 43.2 volts. I personally like 44 volts as the lower limit.
Check with your state PUC.

Maybe this kind of definition helps.

What is DBC up to now? 20,000 subs or so?

Did you get one of these in and try it yet?
Thanks,

Good point.
(Except, as pointed out by others, USF isn't based on credit or federal
subsidy, its a program funded by Americans, mandated by the feds).
Yes, business models reliant on credit clearly are models in risk in the
nearby future. However, I'd argue because of that, that businesses
Chuck,
Interesting info, regarding VPC.
As you proved, there is a logic to minimum range should be designed for.
But the question is also, what was designed as the Maximum?
Many products have fuses that peak at a specific level, to protect from over
voltage damage.
For example, WRAP boards
Cool. Any of them able to work with a small WISP that has a HUGE coverage
zone? Much of which is too expensive to get to at this time
Feel free to have a couple call me if they think there is a way to make this
fly.
I might not like the programs but I'm no fool either :-)

It seems like easy math to me, pay a small usf fee for each of your
subscribers, do a whole lot of accounting and paper work filing
(probably mind boggling), and collect a big chunk of change, paid for by
those New York City folks.
Isn't that the way it works?
So it got broke up and competition was supposed to flourish etc etc. They
are still experimenting. Part of the problem is that the S in USF is still
defined as POTS on copper. Our company is personally sponsoring a bill in
our legislature that expands that to broadband.
Look for an FCC
A judge ordered the FCC to issue a decision on the intercarrier compensation
reform. Not sure the docket number, but they have to issue something in
November. There is a date certain. They can decide to not change anything.
Or they can decide to radically reform the whole works. If they do
