Re: [WISPA] INSURANCE - buying club
'people' is me. note: posting here showed $270 quantity one Moto SM w/power supply on ebay for example. Its just a thought. I've bought dozens and dozens of Moto SM radios near $260 each over the past 12 months all at 5s and 10s quantity. So it can be done, just wished it would be a bit easier.

Re: [WISPA] INSURANCE - buying club
Well, I tend to agree. Moto builds cable modems, and other competitive products. We aren't going to change Moto's pricing policy, product strategy, or anything else - well, unless we all work together. I see 500 packs broken all the time - so that's the idea - a bunch of us put in 1/20th of the price of 500 units, buying 25 units say.. @ 1/2 the retail price. But 500 isn't needed here. There's a huge break at Q 100. So 10 WISPs could by 10 units each for a total of $2,600 each.. Instead of buying 5 units at list. I understand what you are saying Marlon. Moto doesn't demonstrate much interest in WISP strategic futures. They cater to their market - large consumers of their products. The answer is: Use whatever product makes you successful. I don't accept the idea that boycotting Moto purchases influences our FCC successes. Getting more members and continuing improved benefits grows the organization, and that action will influence the FCC. I'm not going to get into Moto vs. Microtik or whatever. Its not in my interest to argue for or against any vendor. For me, Moto kicked everyone's ass in terms of total cost of service delivery. Others likely have other stories, I respect that. That's the nice thing about owning your own business, you don't *have* to swallow anyone else's opinion. My competitors in the valley here are moving to Moto - about 2 years late, but do I care? no.. We've moved on to the next revolution. Marlon K.
