Some use multiple technologies mixed. 34 use canopy. I have sent the detail. Looks believable to me.
I guess the is the problem, I state a metric, like Mot reports having half the market. So someone says they are full of crap and that nobody can believe something like that. (Part of being an evangelist for a choice is to reject, discredit or suppress information that holds the alternates in a good light). So I do a very off-the-cuff non scientific study trusting that folks will be honest. One question for you Mac: Are you saying everyone is equally stretching the truth? Are Canopy users less honest than Trango or MT users? I would presume that the MT or Trango would be the ones stretching the truth... <grin> How far do you reckon that folks have stretched their numbers? I'll be happy to put my name by my number. Personally, I think everyone at WISPA is honest and we have a very honest sampling. I was only testing the hypothesis that Canopy represents about half the WISP market. Or really, more formally I was attempting to prove the null hypothesis that all manufacturers are equally likely to be supplying the market. I have not proved the null hypothesis. Actually, I think it is rejected. We can get into confidence intervals and margin of errors (which would probably be about 12% for a survey like this) and ANOVA and Chi and a bunch of other stuff I have suppressed in a dusty corner of my noggin, but really, I was just looking for a general feel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mac Dearman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 3:10 PM Subject: Re: [Motorola II] [WISPA] Book1.xls > Chuck, > > > I think someone (read - as in very many) have stretched the truth with > your survey.
