Brian, I commend you on taking the initiative and (hopefully) proving my naysaying wrong
However, waving my magic wand (or maybe I'm just full of @[EMAIL PROTECTED]), I predict the following 2 outcomes will occur: 1. Brian will not be able to get enough interest / coordination / payment for the buying club to succeed, and nothing will be bought 2. Brian will be smart enough to coordinate the buying club, but will realize that the coordination of the buying club is a lot of effort (effort that takes away time from running his WISP) -- at that point, he will either (a) stop doing the buying club, since he will need to address his day-to-day business needs / obligations / demands (b) continune doing the buying club, but w/ an initial moderate markup (to handle his administration costs) -- over time, if he continues to succeed, he will evolve into a full fledged reseller / distributor for WISPs providing various value-added services to varying levels of customers, and the "middleman" will return -Charles ------------------------------------------- CWLab Technology Architects http://www.cwlab.com -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
