Re: [WISPA] Looking for iput on 900MHz H-Pol Sector Choices. Nothealthcare, taxes or government related.........

2010-04-29 Thread Scottie Arnett
To start out with, I have heard nothing but bad news about Super Pass. I have 
never used them, so I am NOT speaking from experience. I am also a 80% or more 
Canopy shop...so take that as you will. For Canopy, I have used 120 degree 
H-pol Tiltek sectors...they work !@@@!...@!@ great! But they are expensive 
I am one to buy the close to what I think is best first and worry about the 
consequences later. I sleep better.

Now in your situation, the Super Pass may work great? The only 900 Mhz I have 
used is Canopy. Canopy supposedly has the magic sauce of GPS timing. On the 
Tiltek sectors, with Canopy, I have customers out to 10.5 miles away and could 
have further but that is the the MAX AP distance that is set on my Moto 900 
AP's.

If you are trying to go PTP, I can offer you some suggestions on things much 
cheaper. If you are going to try PtMP, my suggestion will be Canopy unless you 
expect less than 20 subs.

A-Men, all this $hit started years ago and I do not know if a Democrat or

Re: [WISPA] Mobile broadband for Law Enforcement (Small town)

2010-04-29 Thread Robert West
I think if they use the Ubiquiti cards, you're asking for trouble with the 
antenna and cable hanging off the thing.  It really IS a messy setup. 
Installing the Mikrotik R52Hn mini-pci card inside the laptop, the mess 
totally goes away.  If a large antenna is needed, as I did, install an SMA 
connector to the laptop case with a pigtail going to the card.  Depending on 
AP placememt, it should talk to them fine.  I'm actually typing this on a 
laptop with that config and the thing can go almost 2 blocks just with the 
internal antenna to a cheap linksys router in the house.

I've got a town that currently uses Sprint cards but they suck due to

AP's on but I want to use something robust enough that they dont tar &

Re: [WISPA] Mobile broadband for Law Enforcement (Small town)

2010-04-29 Thread Robert West
Yep!  Had one for over a year or so.  Love it, never use it

And here is why..

It's the older PCMCIA slot config.  The new laptops are the express card. 
My everyday laptop is newer, no PCMCIA slot.  Have to break out the old 
Toshiba to use the thing

The antenna clips to the screen.  Gets in the way.  I did, however, use to 
use a magnetic mount on the roof and run a cable into the truck to a MMCX 
connector to snap into the card.  worked darned well.  lots of wires though.

What I ended up doing was put a Mikrotik R52H card in the laptops to an SMA 
conector I installed in the laptop.

Works much, much better and I can use either the SMA if I want to put a big 
antenna on it or it will use the internal laptop antenna.  The bonus is that 
it's cheaper to go that route.

So it sits in the toolbox.

Re: [WISPA] Looking for iput on 900MHz H-Pol SectorChoices.Nothealthcare, taxes or government related.........

2010-04-29 Thread Robert West
Looks nice.  Bullets  But hopefully some RocketM's when the antennas 
are released.  I'll be all over that.

Is anyone on this list doing Beta tests with it yet?

I'd love to see a side by side comparison with Canopy.

There are two more months in the 2nd quarter, they said in the last week
they are still on target. Ubiquiti seems to come out with the products
fine, they just don't get enough of it out into the pipeline to meet demand.

I've had suggestions of MTI's.  They are very expensive anywhere, I
believe.  I absolutely love MTI's 5Ghz sector and 900 omni (though it's
super super super super super heavy).

Re: [WISPA] [Fwd: You're going to love this... New IRS rules]

2010-04-29 Thread RickG
Good post Faisal. I agree this started a long time ago but the current
administration has made things worse. I have given my representatives
an ear full but they dont care any more, which is why its worse. I
also agree with you in finding and offering solutions. Considering
their lackadaisical attitude, a few things that will help is
education, awareness, voting them out, and a grass roots effort to
support these. The later is how we got here - the libs have had grass
roots efforts in place since WWII. I realize this list is not the
forum for this so I wont go on further but there are a lot of smart
people on this list, I appeal to those who love our country to take a
stand to the dismantling of our county the we grew up in and love. The
country that gave us the freedom to be in the wireless business.

[WISPA] Enough of this

2010-04-29 Thread MDK
I am not "anti government", Jack, Mark, etc.

Government just isn't supposed to do some things, because it does them 
horrendously badly, and because once it does them, it opens the door to 
wholesale corruption.

Anti-government is those nutballs who call themselves "anarchists", and most 
of them are truly crazy. The wisest Americans we know wrote the book 
about how our government should work and what it SHOULD do.And they 
signed it.And we call them the founding fathers.I just think we 
should get back to what they knew.

Even if you disagree with that premise, the fact that business and 
government are now as cohabitated a field full of rabbits means that there 
is no longer any differentiation between business and governance.The two 
are now one.

Would it be as I wish ,and that "politics" were not about how we run our 
business, or that all of us are personally threatened by economic collapse, 
or a government which wishes to empower itself to commandeer any business or 
industry it deems it should (the bill debated right now in the Senate), 
because it wants to, but that "politics" were about things like foreign 
policy and whether national parks should be free. Old fashioned politics 
has never EVER been brought up here by me.I have lots of opinions on a 
wide array of such political things, but they're not intruding into 
"business". They're utterly off topic as it concerns "business".

BTW, good luck with the IRS and them keeping straight any businesses that 
pay you more than 49.99 a month, 'cause you're going to need to keep all 
those 1099's straight and you can DAMN WELL be sure the IRS won't.

I have one customer that pays more than that.   He won't next year.   I was 
going to start offering a high end service that was priced more than that. 
I damn sure am NOT now.Why should we be disincentivised to do what we 
should be doing?Even if you're NOT partisan or not political, even that 
should sink in eventually...

I just can't imagine how we, collectively, can pretend that we need to do 
nothing, say nothing, and our futures will remain blue sky and sunshine.

That's the opposite of professional, if you ask me... but then, you did not.

Re: [WISPA] [Fwd: You're going to love this... New IRS rules]

2010-04-29 Thread RickG
Dear Jack,

I apoligize if I offended you as that was not my attention. I will
also apoligize in advance for the serious tone of this email but I
take issues like this very seriously. So I can better understand your
complaint to me let me address a few things you have said below so we
can be in the same page and you might enlighten me further.

1) You said below that I quoted you out of context but how so? Your
full post was directly below my post with your exact quotes. Are you
saying I should have quoted your whole post again? If so, then the
point would've been missed. I might be wrong but "out of context"
(oops, I did it again) is when the full post is not available in the
same article which it is definitely was (review below).

2) You also mention your post was in a "private email" but that was
not the case. It was posted publicly on the list. So why complain to
me about my comments to a "private email" when it was obviously
public? If its private, then keep it private.

3) I dont know exactly what it is and I really dont care, but it
appears to me you have a personal beef against Mark. I dont know Mark
and dont know you either  other than through the lists but your
disdain for him seems to go deeper than just his "anti-government"
posts. If not, then why do you take it so personal? Please know I have
been on this list for over 6 years and I dont agree with your view of
his posts. Furthermore, some of things you have said are not always
"on topic". I am not looking to fight with you, I'm just hoping that
you'll take this as constructive criticism to be more fair in your
thinking. One of the things I truly enjoy about the list is because it
is multi-faceted.

4) I have met and like Rick Harnish. But, IMHO, he didnt take two
lemons and make lemonade. He took one lemon, (his) and added valuable
information to it. With that said, isnt that what Mark was trying to
do - provide information? Sure, he can come off as whining a bit but
dont we all feel like that many times? I always find it funny how
people can slam another person for something they did and then take
credit for it. The other thing I find funny is how someone can claim
what the person said is not on topic, yet I usually find support that
it was on topic. Hint: General List.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

1) I will follow the rules and guidelines of the list.
2) I will always call unfairness and BS when I see it.

I look forward to your reply.

I don't have a problem with what you have stated... however your first 
sentence is rather in-accurate...

"The operating ideology of the current Congress, President, and 
associated agencies which deeply affect our business,"

Ask any of the Wireline Service Providers, they will tell you things 
started many years ago... what you are seeing is the result of actions 
taken by the previous administration...

If you state your message as in "Hey the Gov has been moving in a 
direction that is going to put us on the short end of the stick".. I am 
sure you are not going to get much argument... and also be prepared to 
answer the next question..."What should we be doing about it ?"

I don't know if your are doing this on purpose or without realizing... 
when you start attributing what is happening now to the current 
administration then guess what Pal.. you are showing up pretty late 
to the party

Throwing tantrums about politics on the list, is what most folks get 
annoyed with While, Stating facts about a bill that has been passed, 
and about what obligations it produces on all of us in the years down 
the road is valid and valuable info..presenting it as a 'we are 
getting snookerd by the current folks in charge', is like crying over 
split milk.

Go back and look at the FCC for the past 12 years, and one cannot help 
realize that they have never been 'friends' of the smaller service 
providers, weather it was Republicans in charge or Democrats. 
Republicans have clearly demonstrated, that they like to support Big Business 
who give them a lot of money and promise them cushy jobs after 
they get out of office... The Democrats tend to look thru thier Rose 
colored glasses, on behalf of the people, as if they know what is good 
for them. 

Guess what.. if you are a small business, service provider, you get screwed 
either way...

Want to convert your frustrations into action ? go make Trips to DC and 
give your favorite representative an earful.

Hello RickG, 

Thank-you for expressing your opinion. The following is my opinion. 

The tax information from WISPA's accountant that Rick Harnish followed up with 
and provided to the list is certainly useful and authoritative information that 
every WISP should know. 

Posters to this free (open to non-Members) list and to any WISPA list for that 
matter need to have the maturity to understand the difference between useful 
business-related information and personal, opinionated political posturing. 
Mark Koskenmaki has unfortunately demonstrated over and over again throughout 
the years that he is unable to separate his WISP business-related posts from 
his personal, anti-government political posts. I addressed my concern about his 
latest post in a private, off-list email to Rick Harnish. 

I won't waste anyone's time by re-posting Mark's latest political ranting that 
I consider to be wildly out-of-line. I will however continue to speak up when 
serial offenders such as Mark (i.e., "muddy frogwater") continue to post 
content on WISPA lists that, in reality, belongs elsewhere, on a political list.

Greg,
The configuration is static, however there's a lot of intelligence built
into this new approach.  This script (which is Mikrotik specific)
watches traffic and will dynamically shift a stream from one priority to
another depending on the behavior of that stream.  It will dynamically
alter how it handles a particular customer's traffic depending upon
other behavior patterns it sees from that customer (this allows us to
react to "probable encrypted bit torrent" scenarios).  It handles
streaming video (youtube, netflix, google video, hulu, online tv
stations) intelligently.  There is more, but this is just an overview...

No longer using PCQ.  Perhaps I should update that blog...(I'll do that

Don't forget about *Customer Service*.

Obviously excluding the same 5% people want to talk to someone to get
something taken care of.  Someone on the other end of the phone saying
something is bad is infinitely better then putting them on hold for hours.
In my experience, if you have a problem with your AT&T/Verizon service you
spend at minimum 30 minutes of time.  Time Warner Cable is usually a lot
better with the super secret business class number (5 minutes of hold at the
most, then the account look up...).

That's just good business, which I expect you have already learned with your
other ventures, but I feel this had to be brought up.

Re: [WISPA] New WISP

2010-04-29 Thread Matt Jenkins
There is no all in one product to be a WISP. You need to evaluate your 
area against potential equipment. Once you decide which equipment will 
work best in your environment then you need to piece together a back end 
management, billing, customer support, network monitoring, alerting, 
scheduling, installation, and others system.

The first step is to determine what type of environment you are working 
in. Then analyze what spectrum is available, then determine what 
equipment will work best in that environment to provide competitive 
service and speeds. Is your market residential, business or both? Is 
your environment city, metro, farm, mountain, rural, covered in foliage, 
etc? Are there other WISPs in the area? What do they use? What do they 
offer? Is it worth trying to compete with them?

One thing to mention: You don't have to offer the fastest speed or the 
lowest price. Being reliable is much more valuable in the long run. 
There is that 5-10% that will always go for the fastest or cheapest. In 
my opinion they are not the customers you want because they take up more 
support and billing time than they are worth to deal with.

This is just a few points I can think of off the top of my head.

Re: [WISPA] [Fwd: You're going to love this... New IRS rules]

2010-04-29 Thread Jack Unger




Hello RickG, 

Thank-you for expressing your opinion. The following is my opinion. 

The tax information from WISPA's accountant that Rick Harnish followed
up with and provided to the list is certainly useful and authoritative
information that every WISP should know. 

Posters to this free (open to non-Members) list and to any WISPA list
for that matter need to have the maturity to understand the difference
between useful business-related information and personal, opinionated
political posturing. Mark Koskenmaki has unfortunately demonstrated
over and over again throughout the years that he is unable to separate
his WISP business-related posts from his personal, anti-government
political posts. I addressed my concern about his latest post in a
private, off-list email to Rick Harnish. 

I won't waste anyone's time by re-posting Mark's latest political
ranting that I consider to be wildly out-of-line. I will however
continue to speak up when serial offenders such as Mark (i.e., "muddy
frogwater") continue to post content on WISPA lists that, in reality,
belongs elsewhere, on a political list.

I also ask that in the future, you (RickG) act more responsibly by not
quoting me out of context from a private email that I sent to another
so that you can make your political points. If you can't make your
business-related point based on the non-political, business information
contained in another's post, then perhaps you need some additional
practice keeping your focus on business matters and off of political
posturing. 

It is to Rick Harnish's (WISPA's President) great credit that he was
willing and able to take two "lemons" (Mark's irresponsible post and my
private email expressing concern) and make "lemonade" out of them by
forwarding the business information to WISPA's accountant and posting
the accountant's response on-list for Members and non-Members alike to
benefit from. 

THE BOTTOM LINE - 

1. I will continue to address posting abuse when it occurs on WISPA
lists. 

2. WISPA has just provided valuable business-related tax information
for WISPA Members and non-Members alike. 

Respectfully, 

Jack Unger

Many topics on this list become subjective as to their relevance to
"wireless". For example, other forms of access such as cable, dsl,
satellite, etc. Politics that affect our businesses are indeed
relevant even more so. If you dont believe it, then why have a team go
to DC? My point it, Mark's input has been very valuable to me as a
WISP and I suspect many others. Like many things in life, politics can
be an controversial subject and many will disagree with the viewpoint.

Greg,

 

I would like to request a formal opinion concerning 1099 rules included in
the new Health Bill.  I have pasted an article below that has produced quite
a bit of discussion and disagreement.  

 

If companies are required to issue 1099’s to each vendor they purchase more
than $600 in payments.  Is this correct and if so, when does it take affect?
It does seem to me like an enormous burden on all business in the USA.

 Costly IRS Mandate Slipped into Health Bill


Posted by   Chris Edwards

Most people know about the individual mandate in the new health care bill,
but the bill contained another mandate that could be far more costly.

A few wording changes to the tax code’s section 6041 regarding 1099
reporting were slipped into the 2000-page health legislation. The changes
will force millions of businesses to issue hundreds of millions, perhaps
billions, of additional IRS Form 1099s every year. It appears to be a
costly, anti-business nightmare.

Under current law, businesses are required to issue 1099s in a limited set
of situations, such as when paying outside consultants. The health care bill
includes a vast expansion in this information reporting requirement in an
attempt to raise revenue for an increasingly rapacious Congress.

In a recent summary,   tax information firm
RIA notes the types of transactions covered by the new 1099 rules:

The 2010 Health Care Act adds “amounts in consideration for property” (Code
Sec. 6041(a) as amended by 2010 Health Care Act §9006(b)(1)) and “gross
proceeds” (Code Sec. 6041(a) as amended by 2010 Health Care Act §9006(b)(2))

WISPA is an association for Wireless ISPs.  Billing is a pretty big factor

I believe it was 3/16 for the bottom 4 and 1/4 for the top set and I

Re: [WISPA] [Fwd: You're going to love this... New IRS rules]

2010-04-29 Thread Rick Harnish
Stuart,

I realize that. That is one reason why I only posted the rules of the list
and did not take any action.  Until we receive a ruling from a CPA then
disputing what Mark has posted is only hearsay.  I have sent the article to
the WISPA accountant for further opinions.  I do think it is a valid
discussion item and eagerly anticipate the accountants findings.

I did want to remind the users of this list the rules though.  I have seen
things get out of hand in the past.  This is an open list and anyone can
join and it is publicly archived as well.  We do want to maintain a
professional decorum since it does have the WISPA name on it.  If we can't
control proper etiquette on this list, we may need to discontinue this list,
which is not something we wish to do.

Respectfully,

Rick Harnish

Doesn't seem to be a rule against this type of posting and to me it does have 
information on running a WISP, however it pertains to any business.

Whatever happened to the federal "mandate" or so about no tax on internet

Is it appropriate to ban Mr. Mark Koskenmaki from our "general" wireless

It requires 1099's for EVERY entity you do more than $600 business with a 
year.
 
Gas station.  Walmart, your landlord, a $700 used car or truck.Ebay 
purchases, ALL require 1099's now if you go over $600 a year.
 
That's almost enough for me to throw up my hands and say "I quit".
 
Frankly, we should all just quit.   For a week.   Or a month.Call up the

White House and say "you want it so bad, well now you got it, we quit". 
When about 50 million of us do that, perhaps the administration will realize

Hi Jason,

What do you exactly want to do ?
Traffic shape on IP ? ports ?
On what kind of device ? Linux ? Mikrotik ?
Sure it is Linux, by you question.

You may considered in first stage to MARK packets which are important for
your business.

And then filtered them by means of filters. Consider IMQ if you want to
traffic shape ingress and egress.

I have some scripts for this kind of stuff : 'ppp customers with
different type of service : std, p-t-p, voip' on linux routers.
