[WISPA] Wireless Factors - social network

2007-02-26 Thread Peter R.

http://www.telecomweb.com/tnd/21857.html

(As if there weren't enough social sites and lists to fragment the industry)

Wireless Factors, a Reston, Va.-based business network, now is offering 
professionals what it claims is the wireless industry's first 
relationship-powered network.
Wireless Factors enables mobile industry professionals to connect with a 
global community of members, collaborate using online tools and improve 
the way business gets done. The company cites industry research that 
says in 2006, online social networking became the highest traffic 
category on the Web, and recent trends have made it more accessible for 
companies to engage in social networking.
The activity we have seen from members of the wireless community shows 
that we have met a need, says Wireless Factors Managing Director Jay 
Deragon. We have over 1,000 members since launching this month and 
growing daily. With over $1.2 trillion in revenue expected for the 
telecom industry by the end of next year, there is significant 
opportunity for professionals to become active in creating value for the 
end user.
Wireless Factors will be offering free and paid member subscriptions. 
With Wireless Factors, members can:

Connect through unlimited invitations to global community members
Add images, photos and video broadcast to profiles, articles and 
group or private forums
Broadcast individual or company press releases and event 
announcements to an entire community

Search using a wide variety of criteria for research purposes.
Visualize other members in the network through categories including 
distribution, technology, content and services
Create customized forms, including RFPs, polls, contracts, etc., for 
private or community use

Read weekly profiles of companies, people, technology and mobile content
Join open discussion forums covering a variety of industry topics
Find or post job openings
Use network email to invite an unlimited number of friends, partners 
and business associates
We see an explosion of activity in social networking, and Wireless 
Factors provides exactly what wireless professionals need to more 
efficiently connect with their peers and enhance their business. I'm on 
the site constantly, says Michelle Bonat, vice president/marketing at 
ccube.com, the mobile social network. Wireless Factors provides the 
first- ever B2B networking site, which will dramatically increase the 
proliferation of wireless industry knowledge and expertise.
Adds Mark Friedman, director of Enterpulse Inc., It's about time for 
those of us in the wireless sector to have a forum of our own. To me, 
Wireless Factors provides those benefits and more. The Wireless Factors 
team has been very receptive to site improvements and have set the bar 
high from a customer-service perspective. What I appreciate most about 
the site is that it's personable, allows us to manage our content, the 
audience is targeted, and the variety of groups.

WISPA Meets With the FCC, Urges WISPs to File Form 477

WISPA told members of the ISP-Wireless list that the stature of all wireless 
internet service

providers depends upon everyone telling the FCC they exist.
Yesterday, George Rogato of WISPA, the Wireless Internet Service Providers' 
Association, told
members of the ISP-Wireless list about a recent visit to the offices of the 
FCC and FTC in
Washington, D.C. He reiterated a plea to ISPs to file Form 477 with the FCC, 
saying what Zip

Codes you operate in.

[WISPA] muni wi fi pricing

2007-02-26 Thread chris cooper


I read the article describing pricing and take rates for two separate
muni networks:

St. Cloud - free access, 80% take
Tempe - $19.95/mos first 3 mos, $29.95/mos after that, 15% take

Im wondering - is this a perception of value? Does free=low value/low
network quality in the mind of the subscriber?
Why would the take rate only be 15% for a $30/mos account in an urban
market?  Competitive pressure?
Has anyone tried a wi fi pricing model somewhere in the middle? Maybe
$10/mos w/ X take rate...

Thanks
Chris

I heard the mayor of St. Cloud speak at the DigitalCities Expo last year. He
said that there was a lot of complaints from people who could not receive
the signal inside their homes and they were disappointed in the speeds they
received. Consumers wanted the city to pay for the APs at the homes because
the network was paid for with tax dollars.

[WISPA] Stealing Starbucks' WiFi Customers

2007-02-26 Thread RickG

http://www.forbes.com/entrepreneurs/2007/02/23/fonbucks-wifi-starbucks-ent_cx_mc_0226fonbucks.html?partner=rss

***

Just because you pay a premium for Starbucks coffee doesn't mean you
have to pay a premium to surf the Web at Starbucks cafes.

FON, a community WiFi provider headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is
offering wireless Internet access to Starbucks' latte-sipping surfers
for just $2 a day--versus the $10 users pay to sign onto the 5,100
T-Mobile hotspots at U.S. Starbucks .

Just how does FON plan to steal away Starbucks Internet users? By
offering FON wireless routers, also known as La Foneras, free to
anyone who lives above or next to a Starbucks. The routers, which
usually cost $40, split an Internet broadband connection into two
wireless signals--one for personal Internet use and the second for
public use, which can be accessed by anyone within range for $2 per
day. The routers' owners get to pocket half of the sign-on fee, and
FON takes home the rest.

Starbucks refused to comment directly on the FONbucks campaign, but a
Starbucks spokesperson said any increase in the number of WiFi
hotspots is a good thing. T-Mobile also declined to comment on the
program.

The idea behind FON is to build the world's biggest WiFi network from
the bottom up by encouraging the world's 300 million broadband
customers to buy La Fonera routers and share their wireless access
with other FON subscribers. The goal: to have one million global WiFi
hotspots by 2010 accessible to all so-called Foneros, or members of
the FON community. Currently, there are over 300,000 hotspots in
Europe, Asia and the U.S.

FON was founded in November 2005 by Argentine telecom and new media
entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky, whose brainchildren also include
Jazztel Telecommunications, now the second-largest publicly traded
telecom company in Spain, and the Internet portal Ya.com, which
Varsavsky sold to Deutsche Telecom subsidiary T-Online in 2000 for 550
million Euros ($722 million).

After Varsavsky secured $22 million in funding from Sequoia Capital, a
California-based venture capital fund, European venture capital fund
Index Ventures, Google and eBay, FON started offering routers last
fall. Foneros who have bought La Fonera, FON's social router, share
their WiFi at home and, in return, get free WiFi wherever they find a
FON access point. (A map of existing FON hotspots is available here.)

Today, the Fonero community is broken down into three different
groups: so-called Bills, Linuses and Aliens. Bills, named after
Bill Gates, charge $2 for signing onto their network and pay $2 to
sign onto any other Fonero's network. Linuses--named after Linus
Torvalds, the brain behind the open-source Linux system--offer their
extra bandwidth for free to other Foneros and can access any other
Fonero network, including Bills', for free. Aliens, or users from
outside the FON community, can sign onto any Fonero's network by
paying $2 via eBay's PayPal online payment service.

The phenomenon is catching on quickly. The number of users in the
U.S., now FON's largest market, has risen to 44,000 registered
Foneros, up from 17,000 users just two months ago, says CEO of FON USA
Joanna Rees.

It's still too soon to tell how much Bills stand to make by charging
for access to their networks, but Rees claims some Bills have made a
few hundred dollars a month just by sharing their WiFi connection.
Globally, about 85% of all Foneros are Linuses and 15% are Bills.

Getting more Foneros to sign up is priority numero uno for FON: The
more Foneras there are, the more La Fonera routers FON sells. The more
routers FON sells, the more aliens will pay to access the FON wireless
network.

FON's campaign, launched Feb. 21, is aimed at increasing FON's ranks
of Foneras. Rees, who thought up the campaign, first located which
Bills and Linuses in the U.S. had the highest numbers of users, then
compared their locations against Starbucks' store locations. She found
that many of the locations overlapped.

We needed to be strategic about where we put routers [in the U.S.];
we need them in high-traffic locations for people to become aware of
FON, says Rees. [We] saw this was a great opportunity for us.

An opportunity, of course, that comes at Starbucks' and T-Mobile's expense.

[WISPA] Windows Vista Networking Tutorial

2007-02-26 Thread KyWiFi LLC
Anyone have one of these or mind to share with me how
someone goes about configuring a Windows Vista PC
to use a static IP and specified DNS servers? I figured it
out after a few minutes while at a customer's residence the
other day but now we have a different customer who is
demanding we walk them through it over the phone. I can
walk them through it in Windows XP with my eyes shut but
the guys at Microsoft just had to change things up with their
release of Vista... errr!!

Re: [WISPA] muni wi fi pricing

2007-02-26 Thread Peter R.

It's all about perception and expectations.
Marketing is about setting them.
Sales is about managing them.

BTW, 15% take rate is about average for any service.
VZ FiOS has about a 8-18% take rate depending on whose numbers you use.

VoIP take rates are similar. If there are 5000 BB customers on the 
network - only about 15% will buy it (unless you are a marketing machine 
like RR or Bright House) or you hire a marketing machine.

[WISPA] HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


 Today is Scriv's birthday!  I'll let him tell his age (if he wants), 
 but I'd like to extend my warmest greetings to him and best wishes 
 for a happy birthday.  Thank you for your tireless efforts to 
 enhance our industry.
 
 

Given all that has been happening, both in his personal life, his business
and WISPA, I trust he takes time today for some cheer. The industry has
benefited greatly due to his work in many areas. Nice to be able to post and
say thanks Scriv and Happy Birthday.

-Dee

Re: [WISPA] tv whitespaces dates! WOW

2007-02-26 Thread Marlon K. Schafer

H,

We need to work on this.  We want to oppose the personal portable devices at 
this time.


We don't want to see a bunch of linksys type routers with 2 mile ranges

Any ideas on how to go about it?

Good grief guys, there are only 12 new filings in the last week or
so!!

Why, in the name of God, would the FCC give a rats behind about our
industry if we can't be bothered to talk to them?

Listen, the new rules get made according to the WRITTEN record!  Our
trips to the FCC are great and we both learn a lot, but when it comes
time to make regulations they go to the paperwork that's been

filed!


EVERYONE here needs to file personally.  Here's my confirmation
:'2007223682035

Just go to this link:
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi

Put 04-186 in the top left box and follow the instructions to voice
your opinions on what the FCC should do with the soon to be opened up
tv bands!  All you have to do is till them to make the bands
unlicensed, no auctions, no registration etc.  Say more if you want,
but we really need to drive home the unlicensed idea.

Get off your hind ends guys!
