I think the key would be that these portable devices require a AP to talk to, and that AP's be limited as licensed devices (like 3650). The protocol would need to be setup so that they do not talk unless they can hear a AP (and handshake a stable link). This is my opinion of the best middle ground

Tom You are calling the Wimax base station an AP, this is not the case they are true base stations with a large amount of R&D behind them plus most are licensing code which adds a great deal of cost. I do not think you are going to see Wimax base stations anywhere near what WISP are used to doing,

What we have found, is that the difficulty is not finding an SLA to copy, but having a network/monitoring system that can prove the SLA. Most SLAs I have seen are written to based on what that provider can prove, based on the capabity of their network, and not necessarilly relevent to someone el

Over all I think we are in agreement then. I would like to see licensing kind of like 3650 and have personal devices . All consumer hardware would need to be client side gear only, like cell phones. AP's can only be installed with a license (like 3650, anyone who pays can get one). Also GPS sync w
