Re: Karl, why are you coming out against competition? That's a perfect example of the right way to do wireless mapping. The data is aggregated. You can't deduce the location of any one provider's site, or determine its exact coverage area, from the map.
said by NetAdmin1:Mapping availability isn't messing with anyone's business. Yes, it is. It's setting large competitors up to harm us. Again, you obviously know nothing about this business and have no knowledge of what WISPs face. Kindly show some respect for the hard working people who are risking everything to get people access to competitive broadband. |

Small WISPs thrive because large providers don't want to serve those areas because the CAPEX of building out to those areas is too high. That is a fact.
Mapping who and where WISPs serve don't change the fact that the CAPEX is too high and isn't worth it to larger providers. No company is going to spend millions or billions to wire an area if they will never see a reasonable return on the investment.
Again, you obviously know nothing about this business and have no knowledge of what WISPs face. I do work in the business, at one of the large telecom companies you blithely rail against.
If you think that mapping availability is suddenly going to make large providers come into your area, you obviously don't know anything about how wireline providers work.

So, not only do you know nothing about the business of being a large ISP, you also have ESP? I'm amazed. You don't have a clue about my motivations.
If you smart enough to look beyond blind hatred of the big boys, you would see that mapping out availability could actually help you out.
But you don't want to hear it because you think everyone is ganged up in some big business conspiracy to put you out of business. Like I said, if Qwest wanted to put you out of business, they already would be in your area. The fact that you don't have any major competition is a clue that Qwest isn't interested in your area.
And contrary to what you believe, your potential competitors already know more about your coverage than you think.
