Re: Details...
said by hottboiinnc  :They're are many things he can do instead of sitting there or fighting with Bell in court. And if he doesnt fight back by offering his own product without them well then if he goes out of business, lays people off (firing them) or raising rates then i see that it would be his fault then. Hey, if you have ~$5,000,000 USD laying around, why not give it to him so he can start on that network, eh?
Building a new network is one of the major barriers to entry in the ISP market, which is why Canada required wholesaling (peeps in the US don't get this luxury). And that's just one of them. |

1 edit | Wireless. You don't need that much to build out a wireless network.
Besides his business plan should have had this in it. If you can't compete get the hell out of the market.
yah i was raised in retail and work it. I believe in that saying. I worked for the 2nd largest home improvement company in the world and work for the largest. They all live by it. Be the biggest and the best you can at the cost of everyone else. If you can be bigger and better do it. Don't it back and watch and wine and cry about it. You're taught to get off your ass and keep your customer base.
and not be like WM and cry about shit and get laws passed to protect you. |

| Nope. But they should have thought about that before.
You never rely on another business as your ONLY supplier between you and the customer.
Thats just stupid and i don't blame the Bell for doing what they're.
They should go out and start building their wireless network if they want to stay alive other wise face whats going to come to them at some point- their network will be killed. |

The US and Canada have different rules to play by. If it was easy to span a few thousand square miles as a WISP then everyone would do it.

You don't need WISPs that span thousands of square miles. As a business not required to sell to the entire populace(unlike Bell) you can make a very good profitable business plan selling only to those metro areas.

Very true, but he was talking about doing that to get around Bell's schemes. I would assume that if it was again as easy as Mr. OH stated there it would be done already. |

I think you don't get it... The network Bell has right was built because they where a monopoly. When the whole phone thing started in Canada after a few years we had thousand of company a few year and few deal later between Bell and the government in charge they became a monopoly. For almost 100 years they where almost the only one to exist in most of Quebec and Ontario. So for all those year the pocketed our money built a good part of the network they use now and also got lots of money to expand and upgrade.
Now that thing are started to change and allow again more player in the field they again don't want to play nice and they are again trying to kill the competition like in the past. The only trouble is they should not be allow because the network they have, without the money the got from being a monopoly for all those years the would not have it.
Also even if Teksavvy wanted to lay all new cable it won't go has easy like Bell had it and would cost them a lot more from their pocket (not our pocket like it was with Bell). That's if they can lay new cable because it's everyone that can do it. |

Do you even know how much BANDWIDTH is needed to run any kind of decent ISP Wireless operation ?! Take a look at Look.ca/Project Inukshuk. Look almost went UNDER cause of the amount of debt they owed after purchasing the spectrum. And BCE forced them to sell a major part of it to themselves and to Robbers.
Wireless spectrum is nonexistent this day an age. The current auction for 2.1Ghz/1.7Ghz spectrum in Canada is at 4.2 BILLION dollars ! Noone in their freakin mind will buy that to start an ISP cause you can't make money like that. Starting a GSM network on the other hand = profit.
Anyways, Bell is a MONOPOLY and as such, they have to abide by certain rules. Right now they are NOT and i hope the CRTC will do the right thing and stop them, and FINE them as well.

What BACKBONE are you going to use for your miraculous HYPERBANDWITH network ? Oh wait, Bell has a monopoly on that too so you're still f*****. Way to go. The Wifi frequencies in urban environments are absolutely CHOCK FULL to begin with.
WISPs are only viable in RURAL market where 1) there is no competition and most importantly 2) The WIFI frequencies are EMPTY to begin with.

I did not say buy any spectrum. But Rocky can start to build out his network instead of watching on the Gov't to decide what they're going to do.
instead he's on here saying what he wants done with Bell along with everyone else.
He should be building out a new network to stay afloat especially if Bell charges him on bandwidth next. |

Like i said before take your ass over the WISP board and learn something for once instead of sitting on your ass fighting with me. Moto Canopy has interference built in.
But you would know this if you read what i said before. |
