Re: [WISPA] Crimp or solder?
I'm with the others here. Times EZ connectors are the greatest. And they also have a fairly new version that's bolt together. No need to even crimp the outer band. Totally reusable too!

Re: [WISPA] OT: VoIP termination
Sorry Tom, We're used to being billed per minute. With calling cards, we're often also charged a flat connect fee. VoIP termination (and probably any high-volume voice service) charges based on various minimums and increments. Most often, I see the charges in this format: minimum charge/increment so, 6/6 is a minimum of a six second charge. And the call is billed incrementally every six seconds. So, when you realize that you're getting a message machine, hang up. You'll only be charged $0.0013 if your per minute rate is $0.013 Domestic termination is usually a fraction of a minute. Foreign termination might be higher (e.g. 60/30) Brian Tom DeReggi wrote: What is 6/6 billing?

Re: [WISPA] Adzilla & Revenue Streams
The requirement is actually pretty simple. All of the traffic has to be aggregated to an appliance, so there has to be an appliance at each network's headend. Therefore, the company is going to want the most band for their buck by putting the appliance at large network headends as opposed to small. One the flip side, businesses shouldn't be counted as single subs. Clearly, a business with 150 employees should be worth more than a single subscriber. -Matt Tom DeReggi wrote: For the life of me, it amazes me how companies come up with requirements like > 10,000.

Re: [WISPA] Water Tower Colocation
We have 2 water tower locations. At one, we provide free service and hosting for the city. At the other, we provide free service to the city and 4% of our net profit generated by users connected directly to their water tower. At a similar location, (an old city owned NORAD radar dome), we provide internet service for the city and hosting. In all cases, the city's involved consider us to be an asset and a source of indirect revenue. Houses here are much harder to sell if broadband is not available.

RE: [WISPA] Water Tower Colocation
Jason, I also ran into that, when I started building out my network. The local water company involved an outside company to find out a "fair" value for the tanks might be. They came back with a high number (in my opinion), but stated that cell phone companies get charged more... I waited about a year, and he randomly called me the other day. I mentioned that if he would have lowered his prices or been a bit flexible, I would have signed earlier and he would have had 12 months of service and me on his tanks. When he called, I suggested coming over and hooking him up. He agreed and was MUCH more agreeable and I set the price 1/2 of what he had originally heard from this outside company. If you are wanting numbers, send it to the WISP forums, not the public ones. You can only charge what people are willing to pay.

Re: [WISPA] Water Tower Colocation
We live in a town of 6,000 people and there are only 20,000 in the county. The city water company makes $3000+ per month from one of their water tanks. They charge $1000 - $1500 per month per tenant. The tank is only 100' tall so I don't know why the cell companies just don't erect their own tower in the area, there is a lot of land here for sale at prices in the $3k - $10k per acre range. Most water companies however will swap out free broadband and free installation for free use of their water tanks. Others are happy to receive $50 - $100 per month per water tank. I think what it really comes down to is who you are and who you know when dealing with water companies. Sincerely, Shannon D. Denniston, Co-Founder KyWiFi, LLC - Mt.

Re: [WISPA] Adzilla & Revenue Streams
Easy to say but then you don't have to supply the Sun boxes that the Zillacasters run on. You dont use Sun Boxes! You use Linux based P4-3Ghz Rackmount PCs, they cost us about $700, and never had one give us a bit of trouble in 5 years. Could probably do it in a set top box type unit for under $350. Also, selling local advertising takes time and man-power. How do you get enough click-throughs and other metrix on 500 subs? Even pay the advertising salesperson? You don't. You take 20 WISPs (500 subs x 20 WISPs= 10,000 subs), and in agregate between them, you get enough click throughs and pay your sales guys. Maybe they aren't charging enough for the advertising. Lets jsut take the business case of 1 - 500sub WISP. If the users on their network just see one add per month Well to mail 500 post cards it will cost $150 just for postage (30 cents each). If just 3 ads were seen by the users of the network in a month, the equipment would be paid for in the first month, compared to just postage alone. Add in envelopes, dorting, printing, etc, before you know it, you are approaching $1 per address for bulk mailing. I see every add that comes through on my PC, but half the paper post cards I get go in the trash before I ever see them. The problem is people lose focus of the value of 500 subs. An Add to my subscribers' EyeBalls, are worth more than just a few pennies. My subs, are worth a alot more. My underserved residents are residence that primarilly live in million dollar or higher homes. Typically where the home density is to far apart for DSL and Cable, and that amount of land is not cheap. Most likely Doctors, Lawyers, CEOs, Bankers, Etc. Now consider that those advertising Hardware boxes will exist on the network for the next 5 years minimum. And consumers will not just see 1-3 adds per month, but probably 1000s. The sale guy, takes on one client, and sells them targeted ads to 100,000 viewers. Thats only 200 WISPs to have on account. Do the sales job once for many WISPs all in one. Then consider that each of the 500 sub WISPs, will probably have 2000 subs each in a couple years. So the eyeballs will grow with ZERO effort from the sales guy. How many jobs do you ahve where your client base (subs) will grow 400% with out having to do anything but just sit there and wait? The secret to making the adzilla thing work is get a huge number of WISPs on board. Get every possible person you can on board. Whether they got 500 subs or 20,000 subs. The truth is I don't know much about the advertising business. I jsut know, a whole lot of small fish equal a couple of really big fish. I'd rather take on 10 new little fish each day, because its easy to get them on board, than spend months trying to get the big fish to sign, who might not even sign, and probably will build there own solution eventually. Just my 2 cents. Tom DeReggi Regards, Peter Tom DeReggi wrote: For the life of me, it amazes me how companies come up with requirements like > 10,000.

Re: [WISPA] Adzilla & Revenue Streams
The requirement is actually pretty simple. All of the traffic has to be aggregated to an appliance, so there has to be an appliance at each network's headend. Well thats the question. Does it have to be that way. I don't see the need to have all the traffic flow through it. I see it sitting in parallel, and just certain type of traffic gets redirected to the cache appliance server that adds the marketing data. Tom DeReggi Therefore, the company is going to want the most band for their buck by putting the appliance at large network headends as opposed to small. One the flip side, businesses shouldn't be counted as single subs. Clearly, a business with 150 employees should be worth more than a single subscriber. -Matt Tom DeReggi wrote: For the life of me, it amazes me how companies come up with requirements like > 10,000.
