For sure we are a premium product, so we will never be near the lowest and don't ever want to be in that game. We try to offer value. That said, frankly, I personally am not a fan of how we list our pricing. MSRP is very misleading since each company may have a different channel model, or lack of one entirely. In other words, our pricing appears much higher than that which people actually pay, even people buying in quantities of one much less those buying in volume.
In terms of oversubscription, having it or not is neither good or bad and there is nothing to tilt your nose to about oversubscription in and of itself. You offer a dedicated circuit and your clients pay accordingly much more and should. I assume they chose you because they want that dedicated circuit and believe you offer it at a value. Others chose to sell oversubscribed service, which is perfectly acceptable and does result in a lower ARPU than a dedicated circuit. That said, sure there are operators that WAY over subscribe. I've some cable ops doing 1000:1 residential which must be crappy service. We advise of a residential of 20:1 and a commercial of 4:1, maybe 5:1.

We do use a lot PtP shots, but all of our customers aren't on dedicated PtP shots. We don't have any customers on over-subscribed radios though. -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(191). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses(42). ************************************************************************ ************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
