<snip> I'm on the upper end of their 250-CPE mark and will pay $250 per month with (most likely) no $$$ up front. Then I will pay $500 per month for the 251st-500th CPEs. I am going to try this out on a 1-year contract. It's worth that much to me just to see if it will work out for my situation.
I think that if it is a good service, then it will be a good option for some small WISPs. It is clear to me that if my business will keep growing, it will grow out of a service like this. This may buy me some time and get me over that hump, though. p.s. I haven't talked with them about their CPE lease option but I plan to. I'm also talking to other leasing companies about leasing CPE. Anyone out there have opinions on leasing companies? (I chose my words carefully there about not starting a debate on whether or not to lease CPE.) </snip> <shameless plug> We (CTI) have been leasing CPE for the WISP market for 5+ years now We work with many members of WISPA & this listserv ISP-Planet did a nice writeup about us. Check out http://www.isp-planet.com/fixed_wireless/equipment/distributors/cti.html In addition to leasing, we have other nice financing programs, including a 0% Canopy SM purchase that's been gaining a lot of traction lately </shameless plug> Plus, we've been in this industry since day 1, I've known some of the people on this (or related) listservs since 98/99 -Charles P.S. In addition, whether or not it means anything, we've submitted a vendor member application to WISPA (waiting on invoice & bill) ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Wireless Roadshows Coming to a City Near You http://www.winog.com -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
