Basically with Viva you're clearing $3/month as a reseller. The
customer is theirs; they do billing and support. No local channels
unless you're in NYC.
Real Choice TV is earning you more like $10/month, and the customer is
yours; you do billing and support. You're also not tied to their MSRP
price since you're doing billing. If your local market can bear an
additional $5/month for a given package then you can make $15 instead of
$10 (as an example). If I feel their $99 MSRP plan is worth $119 in my
area then I could make $30/month on that. You DO get your local
channels. You can white label it for an additional one time fee.
Viva has NO barrier to entry. You email the address on their website
and they'll have you set up same day.
Real Choice has a significant cost barrier to entry. It's not
ridiculous, but you do have to pay something for setup, buy a server
from them, and you have to peer with their network.
I think if you can afford to get in with Real Choice then you have a
better product and you will make more money on it.

Looking at OTTV on TDAmeritrade, it does not look like it will survive
financially. Is there something there that I am missing? The idea
sounds great for our area, especially the Latino side of the equation.
Does OTTV have a WISP re-seller plan? If so, how do we get info on
that?
Thanks,
