ASAP!
Thanks

I know you don't support the idea of group buys.
It's not that I don't support the concept, truthfully, I could care
less
whether you buy your gear from a distributor, reseller, or direct
from the
manufacturer
I have just seen it implemented (rather unsuccessfully) many times
by ISPs
such as yourselves, and am trying to help you avoid making such a
mistake
The idea of a WISP buying group is nothing original, for the past
few years,
I've seen this idea come up at least once a month on some WISP
listserv /
forum / etc...
However, if it was really that "easy and simple" -- why hasn't it been
implemented yet on a consistent long term basis?
Here's my observation
-The guys that fail with their buying group end up getting their
inventory
liquidated on Ebay, go bankrupt and disappear
-The guys that just barely sell their inventory realize how much of
a PITA
the organization/operation is, and go back to buying from their
distributor/reseller/etc
-The guys that are extremely successful become resellers/distributors
