Yesterday I created a quick 4 question survey about government form 477 that all WISPs are supposed to file with subscriber counts. 50 people have filled it out so far. If you haven't yet, it takes 60 seconds or less. please go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3RZTC9F
The questions are -Is your customer base increasing/decreasing -how many subs do you have -did you file form 477 -would you like help if you didn't quick results so far are Customer base = 46 increasing, 4 decreasing total customers =65,074 from 49 WISPs = 1,328 subs per WISP File form 477 = 21 yes, 10 late, 18 no want help filing = 13 yes, 3 no Will do more in-depth look tonight A Quick note. of the 4 with decreasing customer bases. 3 of them have under 500 subs. If it doesn't already exist, I think it would be a great idea to have a (guide) for 0 - 500 subs. Things like Bandwidth - general prices, pros/cons. T1, Cable, DSL, etc Marketing ideas, assistance, etc what people use to run the business. Forms, procedures. I am not on the board for WISPA, but I think this would be a good "value" to be provided to members. Of course, some of the recommendations will change for larger WISPs. --------------------------------------------- Scott Piehn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
