Re: [WISPA] Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable - Sprint Nextel Corp. and Clearwire Corp
Interesting. Why a Cable Co would want to fund a network to compete against themselves doesn't make sense to me. To me sounds like more Sprint publicity stockmarket games, that will never materialize. The enticement is probably with false expactations, considering a Wimax network would never deliver the capacity inline with a Video company's strategic goals. Although, it would be a way to hit back hard to ATT and Verizon, and the many WISPs that are growing to a level that possibly could be getting annoying to Cable Cos.. What it does say to me is that Sprint/Clearwire is running out of options to find someone large enough and willing to fund their burn rate.

Re: [WISPA] outdoor CAT5
I spoke with Shireen (Soe Zarni) about the issue we have been having with the poor quality of their reel boxes. Soe told me that they had a shipment that had been unloaded during a heavy rain and that many of their boxes of cable got wet. Soe felt that this is was the cause of my recent problems with their cable boxes falling apart and wanted an opportunity to send me a good box of cable for me to test out. We found no problems with the last box of cable we ordered from them and am very pleased that this issue appears to simply be due to water damage. We do hope that they recognize this as a potential problem in the future and make changes accordingly, but with their excellent service we have no reason to believe otherwise and will continue purchasing Cat5 cable from them. It's also worth noting that Soe offered us credits/discounts for the trouble. We appreciate Shireen's ongoing excellence in customer service and look forward to doing business with them in the future. It was very clear to me that Shireen was/is serious about their customer's satisfaction. Thank You, Soe!!

We have had almost every box come apart on us before we get 200' of cable pulled off the reel. The wire is too loosely wrapped which causes the wire to sink down into the lower wraps. It's just been a mess. We pay $175.00 for the Shireen cable and up until lately we had been pleased with it, but now the boxes are so poorly designed we just spend way to much time in the field fighting with it. For those not using Shireen, where do you get a shielded outdoor cable? We haven't had very good success using a non-shielded cable due to all the lightning (inductance) surges. So, we have to use shielded, but not much luck finding a Vendor other than Shireen that carries it for a fair price.

WiMax doesn't and can't compete with cable or DSL.

Re: [WISPA] outdoor CAT5
We have had similar issues but we had about a dozen of them break and still counting. The asked me if we would prefer wooden spool within the box. I told them yes. Something a bit stronger. I don't know about other ISP's, but I know I've been caught in a quick summer rain storm and a heavy snow fall and the boxes get wet. I need to have something a bit more reliable in the future. Other than the current spool/box setup. I've had no complaints about Shireen cable. -Cam I spoke with Shireen (Soe Zarni) about the issue we have been having with the poor quality of their reel boxes.
