That would have been all the back in ... 02? And on the ISP-Wireless lists, before they got crazy paranoid about competition or whatever it was that caused them to start banning people left and right way back whenever.
I haven't been back there since, no idea how those lists go today. Anyway, you said that residential as a primary focus was not financially feasible, and most of that was based on the fact that CPE was not much under 1K at the time. This was before the advent of Atheros as a huge player in the chipset market and wifi based stuff was mostly done with Lucent stuff... I said I needed a 200 dollar CPE. Today I'm a little over that, it's FCC compliant, and the flexibility of the platform I started out with has been, well, great. Ahh, the good old days of wandering in a wilderness of unexplored possibilities. :) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Leary" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 10:06 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] survey > Well, I don't remember ever saying residential wireless cannot be done, > especially since I've had many customers doing it for years.
