Re: [Mikrotik] [WISP List] Survey results so far

 the ability to record and redistribute.
 *

 It's there already.  The sessions will be recorded automatically and
 will be made available.  I haven't worked out the details, but I
 think I will be making the sessions available only to the attendees
 either for no fee or for a small additional fee.  I'm awaiting an
 answer from the vendor with regard to what my actual cost on this
 part of the service is.


 *
 Telephone delivered audio seams a little weird. I currently only
 have a cell phone and a lengthy webinar would seriously eat into my
 minutes. If it required me to make a long distance call (non-toll
 free) on a landline, then that could also cost additional. These two
 'features' would definitely make me *not* want to participate.
 *

 THe dialin number is toll free.  I've looked at and am still
 considering using VoIP instead of telephone dialin for these
 classes.  The biggest 2 problems being the lack of end to end QOS
 could cause audio problems for some folks and (even worse) the fact
 that many PC speaker systems just plain suck.  (sorry for those of
 you using nice speakers...mine are horrid).  :-)


 *
 I think the price is way too high for those in developing countries
 like South Africa but perhaps you'll get a better response from the
 Americans. Just for interest sake, a 5 day training course here in
 SA where there are say 15 trainees, it costs the equivalent of $375.
 This is not one on one though but you have access to the instructor
 of course. Anyway, nice idea you have.
 ***

 This is an unfortunate side-effect of living in a world wide
 economy.  The vendor I'm gonna be using makes it so that my cost is
 higher than $375 per user.

 
 It has to be low cost to make any sense. Traing mor people at a
 lower cost rather than a few at top $$.
 ***

 Class sizes are going to be very limited.  Less than 15 in fact.  So
 it will be less people for sure.  Costs are higher for online than
 live, so prices can't move too much.


 I will be announcing (formally) a class in the very near future.
 Please voice any concerns you have either here or, if you haven't
 already answered the survey, do it there.  I am listening to your
 input.  Thanks for reading this very long message.

Maybe Fedora + VMWare for Windows? =)


I would consider it, but it requires a Windows server platform.  as 
little as I like Windows in general, I REALLY don't like Windows 
Server.  To me, Windows Server is a little like a color called 
White Black.  ;-)
