Matt, I'm understanding from you that if there was a good way to do this, you'd definitely be interested? Is anyone else out there potentially interested?
This is an area that I've been working in for quite a while now, and the technology is there and deployable. There are two main obstacles, however. 1. Getting programming 2. Upfront costs of deployment (video headend infrastructures are not cheap...) Both of those are not really issues, but do require a bit of scale.... I'm working on a good platform to be able to do this on a centralized level that can then support multiple, smaller service providers. I'm interested in seeing if this is of interest to a large enough userbase through WISPs to make it worth the effort in building in support for those customers... -Clint Ricker On 9/10/07, Matt Liotta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Brad Belton wrote: > > Correct, we see the same requests.
