<snip> Maybe you stumbled upon the fact that no one offers what you want because it isn't cost effective to do so. As much as we try to wholesale our VoIP offers to other WISPs, they want their cake and eat it too. Being an ISP or for that matter a VoIP provider requires either relying on others' infrastructure, making thin margins, and making it up in volume or building out your own infrastructure and making great margins. There really is no in-between. </snip>
I know a lot of people out there who are willing to pay $30+ / month for a VoIP handset (in fact, my office has 40 handsets, and we still pay an outsourced VoIP provider $30 / month FOR EVERY SINGLE HANDSET -- then we get charged per minute local / long-distance rates) Another example A good friend of mine runs a colocation company in the Equinix IBX -- he charges $50 / month per U of rack space IBM, in a cage less than 50' away from him, charges $1k / month per U for rack space IBM has more colo'd servers than my friend Maybe you just aren't selling properly? -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Liotta Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:26 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Sales & Marketing of Unlicensed Wireless Services --SomeObservations Mark Koskenmaki wrote: >I'd rather just bundle a VOIP service in a higher level tier (let's >move from 38 / mo to 55 or 60/mo ) of service, but needs to be affordable for me >to do.
