OK, I just gotta ask: this CPI of which you speak must not be Customer

Comsearch is still pushing their promotion, which I believe is the cheapest
option.

Has anyone here taken the CPI training, either online or in person? Any
recommendation which is best? I'm thinking online would be more self-paced,
but WISPA is offering in person at WISPAmerica. However that likely means
staying an extra day.
Also what format does the exam take? Is it in person if you take the course
in person? Online at a later date? Retake if you fail? Does anyone fail?

The other thing about giant tech companies like Google, Amazon, and SpaceX
is they can do even giant projects at a loss. Eventually they may intend to
make a profit, but meanwhile they have used other peoples money to drive you
out of business. There are also startups that lose money like crazy chasing
market share, like ridesharing and coworking companies, although big funds like
Softbank seem to be learning not to throw billions at startups without a
business plan to reach profitability.

I'm still very wary of this. There seems to be a lot of over-promising
under delivering. In typical Elon fashion, no details but the world runs with
it and puts out all these data models that make it seem like the second coming
of christ. Customer CPE is a pizza box ufo <$200 and they are starting in 2020,
but there's no pictures or details. How is that even possible? We're buying
450b at a more expensive cost and there ain't no phased antenna with motors in
it.
Then all you read online is the cult following of spaceslax who takes a
twitter post as gospel and just keeps perpetuating the same tired information.

Chuck needs a pool so he can sit by the pool and eat Vienna sausages.

That's why this list is the best.

I did it online through Commscope. It goes pretty fast. Online sessions
and test are a big afternoon to a full day. Keep in mind that it is a
permanent relationship between who you get certified through and yourself as a
certified individual. Not a one time class and you are done with them. You
will have an ongoing relationship to keep your CPI credentials. It isn't too
big a deal, but some folks might want to work with a company to get CPI
certified that they already have a relationship with since their ID is tied to
the training company that certifies them.
My advice would be to do it online when you can and not waste time at
WISPAmerica on it. No reason to wait for WISPAmerica from what I can tell.
Steve did the same I think. Steve any thoughts on that?
