[WISPA] Frontier communications is blocking access to our VOIP

2008-04-10 Thread Ross Cornett
Anyone know of anything that can help me here?

Frontier communciations is allowing us to port numbers out of their 
territory, but they are blocking callers from their areas from calling those 
numbers

Is this legal?  Does anyone have any ideas that can help me...

We are working with Heartland Communciations in Paducah Kentucky.  We get 
our bandwidth from them.  They also do our VOIP.  When we switched from our 
Illinois Consolidated telephone system a centrex system.  We moved to our 
inhouse VOIP provided by Heartland Communications in Paducah Kentucky. 
Frontier Communications started blocking their callers from calling our 
office and any dialup numbers we ported also...

By the way Illinois Consolidated, an independant in Central Illinois has 
been really nice working with us on this I can't say enough about their 
assistance...

My dialups are going fast If I can't get a solutionlet alone my office 
will never be able to use the VOIP that I have fibered to my office

Have your CLEC call them and make sure it is not just a routing issue
or problem in their phone switch. We've run into this quite a bit with
rural telco's in our area. If they are truly blocking calls to your
numbers, complain to your state's public utility comission ASAP!

Re: [WISPA] Frontier communications is blocking access to our VOIP

2008-04-10 Thread Ross Cornett
We found that ICTC (Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company) and Frontier 
use the same tandem in Mattoon illinois... Frontier will pass calls from 
Frontier to ICTC... However, when we port a number from ICTC, they will not 
hand the call over to heartland communications, which is our new VOIP 
provider...   I called the ICC(Illinois Commerce Commission) they told me I 
had to call the FCC they told me until I contacted a lawyer and they would 
not talk to me... I can't believe the red tape...

In the meantime, I have customers in Frontier Communications, that are 
losing service due to this mishap...

We talked about this on other lists a year r so ago.

Open Range Communications, headquartered in Denver, Colo., has been 
approved to receive a $267 million loan from USDA Rural Development to 
provide broadband service to 518 rural communities in 17 states.

Talk about the government funding a start up that will rival Clearwire.
I would like to know how much money Open Range has invested themselves 
compared to what the feds just gave them.

[WISPA] Rapid Link Completes Initial Round of Debt Financing Transaction

2008-04-10 Thread Mike Prachar
- Financing of up to $7 Million to Support Growth and Acquisition
Strategy -


OMAHA, NE - April 8, 2008 - Rapid Link, Incorporated (OTCBB: RPID), a
leading provider of Broadband and Diversified Communication Services,
announced today the closing of the initial round of debt financing.

The financing agreement provides for $1.8 million in funding that Rapid
Link will use to retire certain short-term debt, and to restructure all
remaining short-term notes payable by Rapid Link in to long-term debt.
Additionally, the financing will provide the working capital Rapid Link
needs to aggressively pursue its business strategy in the Alternative
Access and Broadband Services marketplace.  A secondary component of the
agreement calls for additional financing of up to approximately $5.2
million, which Rapid Link also plans to use as a working capital
resource, as well as for the acquisition of certain wireless and carrier
assets in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area furthering our growth and
expansion.  Rapid Link expects to close on the secondary round of this
financing transaction in the summer of 2008. 

John Jenkins, Chairman and CEO of Rapid Link commented, This debt
financing arrangement is a perfect fit for our company at this juncture
in time, and accomplishes a myriad of objectives.  The main objective
was to raise enough money to finance our growth and acquisition
strategy, while minimizing the dilution to our shareholders in a tough
credit market.  Clearly, we accomplished our main goal, which should
position Rapid Link well for the years to come.

Re: [WISPA] Needs - Antenna Mast

Cliff,

We are buying 40 and 50 ft telescopic poles from Nello in Bremen, IN. I 
only buy them when we are ordering tower sections so we send our own 
truck and trailer. Not sure how much freight would be.

Rohn makes a 30 - 40 - 50 ft. units as does Nello - they bought out 
portions of Rohn a few years back.
Tessco carries the Rohn 50 ft for around $100.

Thanks,

 If anyone knows of another source for these at a reasonable cost, it would
 be appreciated.

 Subject: Re: [WISPA] Frontier communications is blocking access to our 
 VOIP


 Have your CLEC call them and make sure it is not just a routing issue
 or problem in their phone switch. We've run into this quite a bit with
 rural telco's in our area. If they are truly blocking calls to your
 numbers, complain to your state's public utility comission ASAP!

  Frontier communciations is allowing us to port numbers out of their
  territory, but they are blocking callers from their areas from calling
 those
  numbers

  Is this legal?  Does anyone have any ideas that can help me...

  We are working with Heartland Communciations in Paducah Kentucky.  We
 get
  our bandwidth from them.  They also do our VOIP.  When we switched from
 our
  Illinois Consolidated telephone system a centrex system.  We moved to
 our
  inhouse VOIP provided by Heartland Communications in Paducah Kentucky.
  Frontier Communications started blocking their callers from calling our
  office and any dialup numbers we ported also...

  By the way Illinois Consolidated, an independant in Central Illinois 
 has
  been really nice working with us on this I can't say enough about
 their
  assistance...

  My dialups are going fast If I can't get a solutionlet alone my
 office
  will never be able to use the VOIP that I have fibered to my office

[WISPA] Fiber Maps across the US?

2008-04-10 Thread twarfield

Someone awhile ago had an awesome link to dark fiber that was for lease across
the US.

It was a great tool and showed you who owned the fiber, what they wanted for the
lease, and etc.

The tool worked kinda like google maps and you could manipulate the map.

Anyone know of where I might find this?

Thanks,
Tom W.
