I don't know how hard it would be, but maybe putting on there that other WISPs may be in the area and to check nearby ZIP codes or to return the closest X number of WISPs NOT already mentioned (if any are).
That would solve most of the concern about missing an opportunity you could have built to. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harnish" <rharn...@wispa.org> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, August 3, 2012 12:35:13 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Opportunity, don't ignore this email Brad, I don’t think our database could accept that many and it would not give us an accurate picture of wireless coverage either. The member’s zip code map is also generated from this information. I assume when more details are known, you will get the opportunity to bid on various locations, whether wirelessly or by data circuit (hardline).

I did not tell him about it yet. It was not their idea to update the database, it was mine as I need cooperation from the individual wisps to bring business to your door. The last time I looked, I believe only about 40% of the members had updated the zip code information.

They are willing to assist in getting roof rights to help the individual providers accomplish this service level. Although service is needed on a temporary basis, the company is willing to annualize the subscription rate and renew temporary service as needed. They understand the costs involved and are willing to pay substantial fees to the fixed wireless providers that are able to help them accomplish their needs. I’m not going to tell you much more than that, but it is in the upper five figures for temporary service. This is one reason why it is essential that we get zip codes in our database from each member company, so that you can reap the benefits of such opportunities. Deals like this come along once in a while and we need to have a rapid method of finding Wisps (members) in these locations rapidly. Opportunities like this are one of the reasons, I continue to be excited about our industry and work hard to facilitate and promote our member services and needs. Please assist me by updating your company profiles with the zip codes you serve so that we can help you drive your revenue higher and higher. To do this and please follow the directions closely: 1. Go to the WISPA website. 2. Go to My WISPA and then My Profile in the main navigation bar below the WISPA logo. 3. Once you click on My Profile, you will be presented a Login screen . Your username should be your email address we have on file and your password is whatever you have changed it to or the default password is Password1, which you will need to change. There is an opportunity to request your password to be sent to you on this page if you have forgotten it. 4. If you have trouble with this, you may have logged in to Memberfuse in the top right hand corner of the WISPA homepage. You should be able to go back to the Homepage and start over at Item 2 above. 5. Once logged in, you should be presented with an Individual Information page. This is your individual profile that you can edit. However, below your personal name and info, you will see your company name below under Organization Information. Click on your company name (it is a link). This takes you to your Organization Profile. 6. Click on Edit Information in the Organization Profile and go to the large data field near the bottom of the form, which calls for zip codes. 7. Enter the zip codes in comma delimited fashion such as 46777, 46750, 46430, …… MAKE SURE YOU PUT A SPACE AFTER EACH COMMA! THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. 8. Save This company wants to move quickly and thus, you need to move quickly in updating your information. This may be the best time you spend today or over the weekend. Try to keep this updated on no more than a quarterly basis as I’m sure other opportunities will arrive and we will need updated information to assist you in gaining high dollar clients. If you are not a member, this is a very good reason to become one. Either go to the Online Store and purchase a principal membership or go to http://signup.wispa.org and fill out the form. The Online Store is the quickest way to activate your membership. Where there is a Wisp, there is a way!
