Scriv, I can see where you are coming from, but is this not an open list? I think that denying a person advice based on their business structure is a bit rude. I'm not sure how this would come across to Robert, but I know how it would come across to me. Business research is done everyday by doing exactly what Robert is doing, asking questions. Yes, I have a chip on my shoulder to the fact their company is making money off of bringing customers to Verizon, but he would do that if he came here for advice or not. I see this as an opportunity to relate what the services the WISPS on this list provide to someone that only has the experience with Verizon. I see this as an opportunity to possibly bring a customer or 2 to me, nothing more. I am willing to pay for a customer. I't called acquisition costs. Weather its in the cost to keep a customer happy so you get the word out that you have good service or a couple greebacks, the outcome is the same, I want a customer that generates revenue. Sure network condition, price, population density, and market have just as much to do with it, but are only small parts of a larger plan. I have many times thought It would be nice to have a small display in radio shack like all the cell providers do. Well, Isn't quite the case but it can, potentially, be a source of potential customers that costs me nothing up front, nothing to setup, and could provide me with a customer. The details are just important. Residual, bounty, lead, whatever the case may be, I'm sure that we could come to terms with an arrangement that bennifits myself, Robert, and my newly acquired customer. If its residual, they could be paid a % if and only if the customer pays their bill. No risk there. If it's bounty, then I would pay after a set # of months of a current account, if it were for a lead, then I would have to say let it be web based and let the server app to take care of the lead customer potential payout, still if only they become a paying customer. These are just what I can think of off the top of my head. I would put it up to Robert to figure out and draft the plan. If I like it ok... If not, no harm done to me. This is why I don't feel he should be bashed and ask for a vendor membership, if they were to want to do something through WISPA, as involving WISPA in the process, sure maybe then WISPA does deserve a fair share, but at this point, I don't see how that would be fair, as the only thing Robert is using of WISPA is the forum, which is open to anyone, right. When he decides it's worth his money to invest in a $500.00 a month ad through WISPA because it makes sense to his company, then can he ask questions? BTW, RObert, I would be happy to talk to you about setting up a WISP referal system, not just for me, but for any wisp out there, I would be happy to help with the technical side of things and the actual lead, bounty, referal structure, all worked into 1 seamless system that would benefit all WISPS that would like to be involved.free, free for my help and to involve any WISP- free. sorry, no grammar or spell check.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
I don't feel a need to defend my statements, but because I believe that this particular incidence could provide a service for others, I will explain my opinion as best as possible. I don't believe my opinion is right or wrong, it is just that, an opinion. Your opinion has as much use as my own, to challenge one to decide on their own, which they agree with, if any. I did not believe or feel that Robert was breaking any rules on this list, I feel he was contributing. I see nothing wrong wiht his post. I did not see his post as a commercial advertisement, nor as selling or self promotion. I have seen this list bicker back and forth about what is and what isn't more than once, and the precedence I have seen among this list doesn't include his particular post as being self promotion. I think his post was fine and could provide a beneficial service. I further think that if you felt his post was breaking a rule, or was pressing the limits as to what is commercial advertising, your concern should have been addressed off-list. If you didn't believe that this was the case, then why publicly and repeatedly express that what he was doing was something wrong. If the majority of the WISPA board thinks he is soliciting, ban him from posting and take the discussion off-list, properly explain how you or the board feels. If he is not soliciting, then don't publicly bash the fact that you pay money to someone and he doesn't. I think my argument is very simple.

Thanks to people who pay the dues and donate their time to keep it that way. I think that denying a person advice based on their business structure is a bit rude. I'm not sure how this would come across to Robert, but I know how it would come across to me. What did I deny this guy? I consider it rude to use open list resources as a place to build market data on our industry without throwing a little money in the kitty. I pay my dues, year in and year out, I donate my time. So if people want to use this list to develop a new business model that includes making money from the WISPs who are on here then all I am saying is that it is rude to not throw some money our way and show you support our industry. How is what this guy is doing with his number one placement Google ad bot any different than someone trying to sell you or me a better access point or something? We would not allow that without being a vendor here. I guess the real issue I have about your argument here is that this list is open and I should be allowed to explain why I think he should pay a vendor dues payment just as freely as you are to say I am rude. I am not telling Robert he cannot do what he is doing. I just think it would be better for him to formalize his relationship with WISPA if he is intending to use our resources to market to our membership here. That is what we ask of any other vendor.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
None taken. Our markets and delivered services are likely very different. Currently we do not profit that much (3 digits) from our users so its hard to pay that much. As others stated it would have to be for installed users only, not just the lead. Also, what about people who come to us and turn it down, but come back in 6 months, a year, 18 months? Does the bounty stand or is there a time limit? The main reason I am interested is so that I keep ahead of others in the area, evdo being one of them since Version just spent a lot of money on new towers out here. If only there was whole sale access to evdo so I could sell my own service via its last mile and bundle it with my current offerings.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
I don't think it's bad to use us as a sounding board. If he comes back and tries to sell something here that's bad. I see no problem with asking people about products and services they'd like though. That's what this list is here for. As for prequal, I'm not worried about that. Even bad leads help to tell me where to go next. I'd only pay for customers actually connected though. Not the leads themselves. Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)WISP Operator since 1999!

For me, it depends on the account of the person doing the referral. Relays get a monthly per connected user, till their service is free, after that they get nothing. Plain referrals get a one time credit. Both are done as credits in the next billing cycle. The main issue I see is how to handle people that look to be a bad risk. A contract is worthless with some clients so I do everything monthly. I keep ownership of the hardware and they sign and AUP and TOS that states they are responsible for its safe keep and return. So far no issues with people running off but it is coming, as is dead beat payers. With the referral structure I use people do not refer a disreputable person.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
One of my competitors is paying $10/month commission to anyone that signs up customers for him. His packages start at $24.95/month for up to 1.5meg and $34.95/month for 4meg down/1meg up. He is using Canopy, with a free install. I wonder how long this one will last... in the past 10 years, we have seen 5 other wireless companies come to the area... and today they are all out of business. Travis Microserv Marlon K.

For me, I see it as I will do the qualifying (I can pretty much hit anyone in the area) one I know they are there. I hope they do join and this helps all wisps, but I also hope its available to non members. The main concern I have is that Verizon just build out EVDO in my area, where as it was not here 6 months ago. Who gets the user in those cases?

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
For me, it depends on the account of the person doing the referral. Relays get a monthly per connected user, till their service is free, after that they get nothing. Plain referrals get a one time credit. Both are done as credits in the next billing cycle. The main issue I see is how to handle people that look to be a bad risk. A contract is worthless with some clients so I do everything monthly. I keep ownership of the hardware and they sign and AUP and TOS that states they are responsible for its safe keep and return. So far no issues with people running off but it is coming, as is dead beat payers. With the referral structure I use people do not refer a disreputable person.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
Ask a potential buyer of your company what they think about long term residual payouts to outside parties. If you pay out it better be for a one time fee in my opinion. Scriv Zack Kneisley wrote: Robert I would be willing to pay a bounty, Top rank on the Google search results is impressive. I'm sure that many other independent WISP's would be happy to pay a bounty as long as it generated customers and was a fair price. Personally (no offense Marlon or Jeromie) I would even be willing to pay a lot more for a referral, even in the 3 digits, as long as it was a fair payout for a contract customer. Customer acquisition and retention is one of the most important aspects of the game. I think it even might be possible to get residual income as long as it's fair. I don't mind handing out money, as long we both make money.

Replies below: Zack Kneisley wrote: Scriv, I can see where you are coming from, but is this not an open list? You bet it is open. Thanks to people who pay the dues and donate their time to keep it that way. I think that denying a person advice based on their business structure is a bit rude. I'm not sure how this would come across to Robert, but I know how it would come across to me. What did I deny this guy? I consider it rude to use open list resources as a place to build market data on our industry without throwing a little money in the kitty. I pay my dues, year in and year out, I donate my time. So if people want to use this list to develop a new business model that includes making money from the WISPs who are on here then all I am saying is that it is rude to not throw some money our way and show you support our industry. How is what this guy is doing with his number one placement Google ad bot any different than someone trying to sell you or me a better access point or something? We would not allow that without being a vendor here. I guess the real issue I have about your argument here is that this list is open and I should be allowed to explain why I think he should pay a vendor dues payment just as freely as you are to say I am rude. I am not telling Robert he cannot do what he is doing. I just think it would be better for him to formalize his relationship with WISPA if he is intending to use our resources to market to our membership here. That is what we ask of any other vendor.

Hi Robert, Can you clarify what you mean by We only sell EVDO? Are you asking what you should do with the hits you get seeking wireless internet service? I visited your website http://evdo-coverage.com/ There is nothing inherently wrong with EVDO. My experience is end users are seeking higher throughput. The other feature that's been discussed is the dual mode capability of end user devices. It really depends on the Mission, Goals and Objectives of your company. What problems are you trying to solve? What are you trying to achieve (build revenue?), and what is your short, mid, long term tactical strategic plan.

Re: [WISPA] Google: Wireless Internet - What to Sell?
I to would be interested in such a referral program. Spot checking is a great idea and could worked right into the referral form by asking them to update them on the status with a email in 60 ~90 days. My referrals and relay hosts shake out to the same price, $5 per user or customer signup. A few of the referrals come out to $10 (free service as right now i have spare bw), both are credits on the next bill.
