Last I had heard, Michael decided that due to the state of the economy,
October 2009 was probably not the right time to hold another conference.  I
know he has interest in scheduling another conference, but the timing must
be right to draw sufficient interest & demand.

Excellent post, Tom.
 
I have been an attendee and a presenter at 
WISPCON I and II.  Once with an Optical Wireless company, 
Plaintree Systems and once with Marlon's startup of 2002, 
WNOC.  Both were outstanding experiences.
 
I personally got alot of value from the 
WISPCON shows, especially meeting the people behind the posts on this 
(and other) lists.
 
Those WISPCON days were more about the 
relationships.  This list has some close roots, and the shows 
then were about connecting, wirelessly and spiritually, 
so-to-speak.  I met Marlon and Bullet and Steve Stroh (hiya Steve!) 
for the first time in Chicago, and it was a hoot! Learning and 
having fun are two things that do it for me, especially if I can do them 
at the same time.
 
I have been away from the direct WISP 
loop since 2002, running my own kind of Networking 
business.  However, I still enjoy the WISP 
list conversations, and have stayed in touch.  
 
And am glad I did stay in touch, for I have 
just signed an agreement to work with a company called Arryba 
Communications - whose mission is to provide high speed Internet to 
Rural Eastern Ontario (that's me!).  Besides being obvious 
self-interest, Arryba has a very interesting business model, and their 
timing and leadership are spot on.  
 
I would like to attend a spring show, and 
would be interested in knowing where the best shows are now, for 
its time for me to reconnect with the WISP world.  Marlon?  
Steve? Victoria? Where do you guys hang?

WISPCON is probably the best show for a new technican to learn more 
about wireless.  ISPCON has been fantastic for people deciding 
whether they should get into wireless.  WiNog, for advanced WISPs. 
However, this is a very generalized summary. You can find a little bit 
about everything from all the shows.  
 
My personal opinion is, that if someone had 
to chose just one show to attend, it would be ISPCON. Because it offers 
a little about everything, because it has the funding and experience 
management to be nothing but top professional.  Its also has a 
VERY strong advisory board of experts that help direct its 
direction.  However, that opinion is not meant to take

Hi 
Linda,
 
This is what Steve Stroh has to say about WiNOG, WISPCON, Broadband 
Wireless World, WiMAXWorld
 

WiNOG is well-positioned to 
serve a segment of the Broadband Wireless industry that has gone unnoticed 
and unserved. PART-15.ORG’s WISPCON focuses on smaller and startup Wireless 
Internet Service Providers (WISPs), The combination of Wireless 
Communications Association’s (WCA) two annual conferences, Shorecliff 
Communication’s Broadband Wireless World, and Trendsmedia’s WiMAX World 
focuses on much larger Broadband Wireless Internet Access Service 
Providers.
 
WiNOG targets WISPs that are 
well beyond the startup phase in longevity of business, overall scale of 
business, network, and number of customers, but have not yet grown to have 
their needs met by the three larger conferences. This is a very real, but 
specialized market segment, and Charles Wu, Operating Manager of CWLab, has 
laser-focused WiNOG to serve this segment very well. While WiNOG is an ideal 
conference to attend for WISPs that are intent on growing larger and have 
already started to endure the “pains” of growth, WiNOG’s main audience is to 
provide peer-to-peer experience exchanges between the “Big WISPs”.

  That last joke you sent me want funny!

  Anyhow, which show you should go to really 
  depends on what you want to do.  If I had my way I'd go to ALL of 
  them.  They ALL have something to offer if you're willing to listen 
  and learn.
   
  I just got back from the annual www.ec-expo.com.  That's a free 
  show with lots of product specific stuff.  There's a GREAT group that 
  goes to this one and lots of help is available.  Charles, Matt, I, 
  Damien (Tranzeo), and a few others (forgive me) had a very good very high 
  level chat about a number of things.  I picked up quite a few new 
  bits from here and there.  AND I ran into David Huges.  I hope I 
  am half as with it at 78 as he is!  (Yeah yeah, I'm already half as 
  good.  Har har  grin)
   
  WISPCON has always been about nothing but 
  wisps.
   
  WCA is more carrier based.
   
  ISPCon is a GREAT show.  The wireless 
  track is light as there's usually only one track.  But there's a lot 
  to running a wisp than just wireless stuff.
   
  I think about the best mix would be to go to 
  one or two different ones each year.

  I do not necessarilly think that the 
  quality of WISPCON has degraded that much. Its more that the attendee 
  WISP base has matured, and looking for new attractions, and new shows 
  have popped up to attract them.  Once a WISP has went to WISPCON 3-4 
  times in a row, they start trying shows that offer something 
  different.  WiNog offering, more techncial exchange discussion 
  between experienced operators, which has shown to be extremely valueable 
  to the WISPs that have been there done that.  ISPCON, for WISPs 
  looking for more than just wireless technology knowledge. As WISPs mature 
  they start to learn that business strategy is more important, and all

different.  WiNog offering, more techncial exchange discussion between

Excellent post, Tom.
 
I have been an attendee and a presenter at WISPCON 
I and II.  Once with an Optical Wireless company, Plaintree Systems 
and once with Marlon's startup of 2002, WNOC.  Both were outstanding 
experiences.
 
I personally got alot of value from the WISPCON 
shows, especially meeting the people behind the posts on this (and other) 
lists.
 
Those WISPCON days were more about the 
relationships.  This list has some close roots, and the shows then 
were about connecting, wirelessly and spiritually, so-to-speak.  I met 
Marlon and Bullet and Steve Stroh (hiya Steve!) for the first time in Chicago, 
and it was a hoot! Learning and having fun are two things that do it for 
me, especially if I can do them at the same time.
 
I have been away from the direct WISP loop 
since 2002, running my own kind of Networking business.  However, 
I still enjoy the WISP list conversations, and have stayed in touch.  

 
And am glad I did stay in touch, for I have just 
signed an agreement to work with a company called Arryba Communications - whose 
mission is to provide high speed Internet to Rural Eastern Ontario (that's 
me!).  Besides being obvious self-interest, Arryba has a very 
interesting business model, and their timing and leadership are spot 
on.  
 
I would like to attend a spring show, and would 
be interested in knowing where the best shows are now, for its time for me 
to reconnect with the WISP world.  Marlon?  Steve? Victoria? Where do 
you guys hang?

Probably won't happen.  As others have said, though not quite with the 
correct reasoning, the two orgs don't gel well.


You might check with the vendors that'll be there.  They'll normally have 
discounts.

Your best bet for a commercial trade show is to approach vendors 
presenting there. Check the site and contact any of the vendors - they 
have a vested interest in selling you stuff and therefore have an 
interest in getting you in the door. The organizers are interested in 
making money off you and the vendors, so they are your worst bet (well 
except for any WISPA yet to be announced meetings :-)

RE: [WISPA] WISPCon

2005-09-28 Thread Charles Wu
WISPA was started initially in response to "Part-15/WISPCON's" lack of
representation of true WISP issues (although you can't fault Mike for it, it
needs to be known that Part-15.org is a FOR-PROFIT organization existing to
put money in Mike's pocket).

Until recently (due to circumstances created by the Katrina & Rita
disasters), there has been ill-will b/n Part-15 & WISPA due to the fact that
Mike has lost revenue from WISPA members, and unless things have
significantly changed, it is doubtful that a "discount pass" relationship
b/n Part-15 & WISPA exists

If you're interested in shows (or just getting together w/ other WISPs) in
the Dallas area, Smartbridges is currently in the process of putting
together a North American Road Show

Best of all, it's free
