Re: [WISPA] Will this bother WISPs?
Grin, Too true. You want to talk about before or after all of the credit card payments still sitting there from before we started the isp? Seriously, it's not all about cash flow. To me, it's about value. Are you gaining more value or loosing it? Are you gaining coverage area or loosing it? Are you gaining customers or loosing them? Are you billing more or less than you did before? Net cash flow would sure be nice for a change though. We should have some in the next couple of years. I'm 150 miles by 50 miles in my coverage zones. That's about as far as one guy can drive in a day so I'm not planning on any new systems in the next couple of years (if customers want to fund a new area I'll look at that though :-). This should give us time to pay off quite a bit of debt. Once the debt is paid I'll see what the options are at the time. Things will be different than they are today but how different and where the next big opportunities lay who knows. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam - Original Message - From: "Dawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2005 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Will this bother WISPs?

It looks like I'm about 75ms rtt away from you and at ~1mbps... not bad for a jaunt through WCG's network which adds about 70ms to the trip.

The ILEC I am partnered with owns a LARGE area in southern Missouri. The equipment that is available is not, yet working well. I am testing the WaveIP product right now. I do not like the way they implemented the system, and the available throughput is just too low. The WaveIp and Airspan products (both) are based on the WiMax chips, so when that becomes available, they will be able to run the WiMax protocols. Perhaps others would like the implementation, but they have shown me NOTHING that is impressive so far. I WILL say that I have been able to make a link, standing on the ground holding the antenna at 20.75 miles and pulled the same throughput I did standing under the tower. The NLOS properties of this band (lower 700MHz) is very impressive, but the product just plain sucks. >They still don't get it (lets hope none of them ever hires people >like you and me.

The gist is that the government will move much of its wireless communications onto one encrypted wireless network, and Sprint/Nextel customers will be issued dual-network CDMA/iDEN handsets, so that as iDEN becomes restricted, CDMA will take its place. The report also claims that in exchange, Sprint will get plenty of spectrum in the 700 & 800Mhz bands for mobile Wimax broadband service. Keep in mind that if true, most of this wouldn't happen until around 2010, which roughly gels with Wimax analyst timeline predictions. The report claims the deal won't even be announced until 2007 or 2008. This move makes this week's news of a Sprint co-branding wireless deal with Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Cox slightly more interesting. The deal would give Sprint priority access to Wimax spectrum, letting those three cable giants offer re-branded Wimax to better compete with baby Bell Wimax offerings. This whole scenario assumes a lot; at the forefront that mobile Wimax is a solid business model. If Wimax tanks however, the report seems to indicate that Sprint's deal with Uncle Sam allows them to instead grab ample 2.5 GHz spectrum, and deploy the most popular technology at the time (like WiBro). Either way, the cable industry would be well positioned for wireless broadband competition. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
