Re: [WISPA] Fiber Costs
Is it costing you that considering all costs (last mile, transport, NOC)? Or just your last mile cost? I know an MTU building can be connected /spliced into street fiber for as little as $700 in parts/labor, including only the time start to finish installing it. (not all the beurocracy and planning time) There are numerous respected people in this industry that have pitched an average Fiber deployment to cost around $20/mon per sub over 20 years. That could mean alot of different things. I'd be interested in hearing more about what you deliver for $1000/ sub?

Re: [WISPA] Fiber Costs
Interesting arcticle. What so many forget is that Fiber does not just cost $4000 per sub to Verizon, it costs $17 /month per subscriber. There is a big difference. Long term beneift is undisputed. The problem a small provider has to ask is... How do they fund it. Its also important to note though that the $4000/sub accounts for all costs for full Fiber end to end. It can cost much less for a partial hybrid fiber deployment that is cherry picked.

Re: [WISPA] Employee Tracking Program
Eric, > The matter > at hand is to monitor traffic as a summary OK. I did not understand that initially, since you referenced "keylogger" as the previous solution that logs "content" and spys on Employee's private usage. > I am not a lawyer, so I > will leave that for this employer to consult his attorney Agreed. Thats the approach we take. If they want a solution we give it to them, but we advise them that some issues could exist, and they should address them with their attorneys, if they are concerned about it. > I want suggestions at this point. I'd agree with others' advice. NTOP is probably a good way to do it. Actually anyone that runs a Linux router with Iptables, generally can get basic data. For example, a Firewall rule can be set up to allow each service that they want to track. Then you can count how many hits each rule gets. Or just send to a log, all firewall matches. And write quick scripts that looks at each line in the log and matches the IP and port. Of course, not a good end user solution, nor the advised way to do it, for anything other than troubleshooting when you don't have a solution in place. I can't really advise on a package, because so much has changed in the last 8 years, since we installed them. Some have been discontinued as their proxy technology did not handle all the new ways web sites work and such. But again, I seem to remember than many web proxies provide much of that data. If primarily web usage tracking is wanted, Things like Windows 2000's proxy server, Firedoor, WinProxy, I think could do it. Haven't used those for ages though. The common namebrand firewall appliances like Sonicwalls, now have modules for content control and management, at some level. Which provide some layer of tracking. As they are trying to migrate to attrack MSPs. Outside of that... others actually doing it now, will probably have better advise for products to use.

Re: [WISPA] Employee Tracking Program
Guys, Again, I don't want to get side-tracked. Please bring it back on topic. Thanks, Eric -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 2:56 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Employee Tracking Program > Employers own the content of all correspondence > That has been time tested. Not true, from my experience. Expecially if the correspondance is non-business related. Actually, I was involved in a case where the employer was successfully sued by the employee for violating their employee's privacy. The employer was threatening to fire certain employees, based on the content (most likely porn) of personal Emails sent and read from work, and Web access to some sites. We installed the original tracking system, and we de-installed it after they lost the suit, and re-installed the new solution that did not put the employer at risk to lose another costly law suit of that nature. Granted, this took place probably 8 years ago, when I was still in the LAN network integration business. There could have been newer law changing legislation. Regardless of what the current laws are or are not, an Employer really needs to think about whether they really want to go there in the first place, to risk defending litigation. Privacy issues can be very complicated, and expensive to defend. By default the legal system favors the employee in almost all aspects, and the employer is held responsible for the burden to setup the policies, proceedures, and agreements in advance in a way that are law biding. At minimum, a clear plan has to be defined on what the privacy policy is. In many cases if a policy is set AFTER an employee starts employment, it can be argued that the employee was Coerced/forced to sign an agreement that they did not want to agree to, or they'd lose the job that they rely on, which they committed to based on other terms. So there is even the possibilty that signed privacy agreements can be thrown out as non-inforcible. Again, these are very generalized statements, and there are many variables that go into what is and isn't legally inforcible. Installing a solution that allows one to manage there network, completely avoids the privacy issues and any law suits, and often accomplishes the same goals, to keep employees focused on work and not personal activities. To be clear, there are four issue here. 1) Tracking someone's use without letting them know that you are tracking it. (remember why someone must disclose if a telephone call or conversation is being recorded?) 2) Tracking someone's use with or without an official privacy/usage policy. (remember discussions regarding ISPs privacy issues) 3) Whether you are allowed to track someone's personal/private Internet use in the first place, and if so, how its distinguished which use/content is personal/private versus business. 4) Whether being "on-the-clock" and within a "Business office" is enough to for someone's Internet use/content to be considered "Business" property. Prior to tracking Employee's use the Employer should have a clear legal understanding of how they can defend each and every one of these things, are they are putting themselves at a legal risk. I can tell you, the case I was involved in was not a small claims court case. Big dollars were put on the table. If this same situation occured to a small company, I'd bet that 99% of the employers would be forced to settle out of court early, and payoff the employee, because the cost to defend the case would far outway the benefit, and getting compensation from the employee for the legal fees is not a likely thing to occur. Its something to think about.

Can be a transparent bridge or a NAT gateway, has all kinds of fancy reporting, tracking, and filtering capabilities. I've had one for a while I keep meaning to put in place for our offices (our customer network has long since outgrown its capabilities). That, along with similar systems from Allot and Packeteer probably cost more than Ntop, Mikrotik, etc. but they provide tech support etc. that you may not want to have to do. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] RF linx
Don't bother emailing them either, if they do respond it won't be till 5:00 on a Friday that way you can't email them back. -- Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.
