Chuck, it's being used for that, expired billing credit card renewal dates, FCC E911 official limitation acknowledgements, etc. However, it's mostly been installed in very large cable operators. I'd be happy to talk off-line. It does scale smoothly from 1K to millions of subs.
I'd be happy to describe a bit on how it works since that's more my area of expertise but don't want to abuse the group here. I'll tell you, though; it has really been a fun thing to use. I just saw a message that TVCABO, the Portuguese cable company, sent to some subscribers in a small area something like "We are very pleased to have recovered in only 4 hours of service outage because of the road crew on the A2 that was digging not only the road but our cable. But, for taking four hours, we still apologize." As a test, WideOpenWest (300K data subs) has been testing an automated delivery of Amber Alerts from their XML feed from Amber Alert center. Every subscriber gets it only once and onlyk if it applies to their geographic area. They get 3 buttons: Close, MoreDetails, Opt-Out. The Opt-out makes sure they never receive another. That gets rid of the grumps. After a year and 10M alerts delivered, 2.8% opted out, 38% regularly click through for more details and on the DSLreports forum there have been no complaints and it's a grumpy forum. It auto feeds geo-targeted NOAA weather alerts or the full EAS, too, if desired. We're just experimenting with the best way to do that without irritating the subs. Anyway, it's fun to think that you can finally control the visible channel to the users' screens whenever you want...it's yours. . . . j o n a t h a n [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.perftech.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CHUCK PROFITO Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 11:11 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] bits per mbps Jonathan, You said <snip> "In fact, we make a targeted messaging product that inserts a toolbar-like, unobtrusive message into subscriber browsers display."

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/ -- 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.
