Re: [WISPA] AT&T reselling Wildblue

So all the accounts are setup under your name and then you just bill the customer whatever price? Do you know if they have a reseller option or any information about it?

Much better then DirecWay. How much are we making off of it ? Well - Not much at all from the "service" but we're selling an SLA to the oilfield companies that we service with these systems. Our mark-up is approx 5x-7x what the monthly service costs us but we'll have someone on-site within 6hours if something goes south. Not sure if you could use the same selling point we can, but oilfield companies love to be catered to.

How much do you get to make on it? Thanks George JohnnyO wrote: We've installed 9 Wild Blue systems so far here in South Louisiana / Mississippi / Alabama / Texas areas and have had great success with them. WildBlue will be sending up another bird soon to increase capacity and add features. Compared to all the other satellite systems we've dealt with, WildBlue hands down wins.

[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060508/ap_on_hi_te/at_t_satellite_broadb an d_1] The company already has been trying fixed wireless broadband in Alaska, Georgia and New Jersey. One of the technologies mentioned by AT&T as part of the trials is WiMax, which is similar to the Wi-Fi technology that underlies Internet "hot spots," but offers greater range and speed.
