And it's going to run on every computer at their house? I currently
have 5 computers at my house, and they call get used all the time. ;) Travis Microserv [email protected] wrote: This is pretty easy to do. I had a small app I tried out a few years ago. It would test a connection out and do a few link diagnostics. It also checked a webserver and would display notices, etc, for reporting downtime, repair schedules and what not. Overall, it was not much of a hit with people. I have toyed with the idea of bring it back and adding twitter updates and the likes. It would be pretty easy to add a bw/$ display to it, depending on the bw manager setup. I can see about rustling it up again.Mike Hammett wrote:Daily, maybe even hourly bandwidth web based usage history and a running meter down in the system tray? Then they can yell at the kid for using 5 gigs in the afternoon, who cares if he was there to use it or not.... Just like he left the TV on and it used power for two hours. They get billed either way. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Eric Rogers" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 9:00 AM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Metered BillingWhat happens when the teenager starts the streaming tv on the xbox and a friend shows up... decides to go down the street but leaves it running till mom and dad gets home at 6:00 PM? Then mom and dad decide to rent a movie. To me, I am counting on over-selling the bandwidth and that is where the profit is. My dynamic is changing and the only thing that makes sense is to pay if you use it ... more than normal. I am looking for pros and cons of metered/tiered billing. I have heard from many as to why they wouldn't and don't, so who is billing tiered and/or metered? The questions still stand.

Maybe I'm wrong but the problem I see is that you will end up having unhappy subscribers when their expectations are not met. Thats where the premium rates can come in. I find people all the time who would pay more for committed speeds if it can be delivered. BTW: Cricket Communications, subsidiary of Leap Wireless has lost money since its inception and continues to do so. Give me an example of an non-subsidized "all you can eat service" company in a competitive market that actually makes money (bottom line).
