Chuck, maybe that's ...sort of...well, the American spirit. I'd rather anything than a rope around me. I pay $6/mo., or more, to my VoIP provider so that I have no limit on calls (to Europe or Asia!) rather than have to pay a couple cents a minute over 500 minutes a month. OK, so $22 vs. $16 isn't a big deal, but it demonstrates my point.
I know I'm losing. But, I can't stand thinking about it. So, I pay for unlimited time. Perhaps that's why the unlimited Internet byte access is more interesting here to subscribers than in Europe or Latin America. Who knows? I get mad just thinking about it and feel better knowing that it's not a problem for me...I pay and feel unconstrained. A simple $6 is certainly cheaper than a psychiatrist for five minutes. Come to think of it, that won't even buy 5 minutes from one of them. Such a deal! Anyway, it's an interesting difference between the cultures as to what is a comfortable subscription plan. . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CHUCK PROFITO Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 8:16 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] bits per mbps John, will this code say any thing I want it to, like "pay up or else" If you sell it, any deals for members?

In fact, we make a targeted messaging product that inserts a toolbar-like, unobtrusive message into subscriber browsers display. TVCABO bought it to deploy all over Portugal...primarily to upsell their subscribers nearing their byte cap limit. I've seen several comments on the WISPA list that generally are very hostel to byte cap subscriptions but that is more the rule than the exception in Europe and Latin America we've found and, when a subscriber's near cut-off, the up-sell is easier before than after. . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Liotta Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 4:08 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] bits per mbps Jonathan Schmidt wrote: > True, Matt, often a better way. > > Now, what to do with P2P abusers? > Sell them more bandwidth? -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
