Re: [WISPA] yes, the big money is coming. Anyone want to explore selling out? (seriously)
So what is the going rate per sub now? And does that include the SM(Canopy) if its relatively new? What about the gear on the towers? Matt I know of four WISPs that used to have smaller operations that within the last month each received over $10 million in new money. I know of several others doing some aggressive consolidation, buying out smaller WISPs. This past week in fact I had one such WISP owner ask me directly for help finding WISPs with several hundred to 1,000 subscribers that might be interested in cashing out now, maybe because they have gotten tired or maybe because they see now as a good time to exit with the big money starting to come in. So I guess I should ask, if you are such a WISP and you might be genuinely interested in getting out, let me know and I'll broker the connection with the other party. ...I only wish I got a fee for leveraging my contacts! Please let me know offlist. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

In case anyone wasn't already aware... we are interested in talking to anyone who wants to sell. -Matt Patrick Leary wrote: I know of four WISPs that used to have smaller operations that within the last month each received over $10 million in new money.

RE: [WISPA] yes, the big money is coming. Anyone want to explore selling out?(seriously)
make that 5. I just hooked up with a couple of retired guys from Motorola, and we've found 4 investors willing to pony up some serious (>$3MM) cash over the next 3 yrs. One of them actually suggested installing VL soon. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 12:10 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] yes,the big money is coming.
