RE: [WISPA] AT&T reselling Wildblue

[Rick Harnish]

Given the opportunity, most WildBlue customers will switch to an alternative source of broadband as soon as it is available in their area.  WildBlue is much better than Directway but it is STILL satellite Internet.  Physics is Physics.  Ping times usually average from 550-650 ms (at least early on, I’m not sure right now)  They don’t allow gaming or VoIP.   Rick Harnish President OnlyInternet Broadband & Wireless, Inc. 260-827-2482 Office 260-307-4000 Cell 260-918-4340 VoIP www.oibw.net [EMAIL PROTECTED]       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blair Davis Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 12:35 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] AT&T reselling Wildblue   Around here, I got more calls for service in the week after the Wild Blue rollout than in the 3 months before. And, now with their system overload, I am poaching their customers left and right.... Bring em' on!!! Rick Harnish wrote: We were subcontracted by a Rural Utility Cooperative to inventory, install, make sales, consult, and perform billing activities and maintenance for their Wildblue rollout.  This is ongoing revenue for the installed customers.  I believe we installed about 175 units last fall until the capacity of Beam 27 (midwest) reached capacity.    Wildblue is putting another bird in space this fall and more sales opportunities will commence at that time.    It is mandatory that you be a certified WildBlue installer to perform such duties.    Rick Harnish President OnlyInternet Broadband & Wireless, Inc. 260-827-2482 Office 260-307-4000 Cell 260-918-4340 VoIP www.oibw.net [EMAIL PROTECTED]        -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

WildBlue will be sending up another bird soon to increase capacityand add features. Compared to all the other satellite systems we'vedealt with, WildBlue hands down wins. JohnnyO -----Original Message-----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] OnBehalf Of Peter R.Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 3:44 PMTo: WISPA General ListSubject: [WISPA] AT&T reselling Wildblue  To fill in on rural gaps, AT&T is selling Wildblue satellite internetservice under its own brand. [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060508/ap_on_hi_te/at_t_satellite_broadband_1] The company already has been trying fixed wireless broadband in Alaska,Georgia and New Jersey. One of the technologies mentioned by AT&T aspart of the trials is WiMax, which is similar to the Wi-Fi technologythat underlies Internet "hot spots," but offers greater range and speed.Posted by NSP Strategist to NSP Strategist<http://radinfo.blogspot.com/2006/05/att-reselling-wildblue.html> at5/08/2006 04:40:00 PM --   Regards, PeterRAD-INFO, Inc. - NSP StrategistWe Help ISPs Connect & Communicate813.963.5884http://4isps.com/newsletter.htm  -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe:http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/         -- Blair Davis AOL IM Screen Name --  Theory240 West Michigan Wireless ISP269-686-8648 A division of:Camp Communication Services, INC
