Chuck,


  I think someone (read - as in very many) have stretched the truth with
your survey. I could be wrong, (not the first time) but according to your
poll the 43 WISPs have an average of 1153.418 subscribers each!


 It appears that 27 of the 43 WISPs used Canopy and those 27 ISPs count for
a total of 1162.3 subs each while the total of the rest of the WISPs
combined (16) have an average of 1138.3 subscribers

I guess there could be some really huge WISPs out here that participated in
the survey that I am not aware of.


Cool survey  THANKS!!

Mac

Mac,
Since this industry has really started to mature, I would not be 
surprised
if this data is pretty close to the industry as a whole. While the makeup of
the WISPA member WISP's may not all be big like this, there are certainly
plenty of them that aren't members. Here is a link to a report done in
California
http://www.redwoodtech.org/files/CBI_WISP_Report_WorkingDraft_0.pdf about
the status of the WISP industry. This was done by the state broadband task
force and seems fairly balanced. California has done a pretty good job of
documenting where broadband exists, that is, given what any one entity can
do to document all the private business. I worked with one client to compare
their results to what they knew as local market reality and it was pretty
close.
Heck there must be a lot more WISP's out there buying equipment that we
know of at WISPA, I don't think the equipment manufacturers could survive on
just the WISPA numbers alone. Given that they still develop new products
also indicates there is more market than you or I may be aware of or else
they would not still put RD efforts in to something they don't think they
could sell and make profit on. I'm of the firm belief this industry is much
bigger than anyone realizes, which is why I want to get the mapping
initiative off the ground to start benchmarking things.



Thank You,
Brian Webster

A bastardization of the last definition :-)

I don't think these lists represent the whole industry, just a part of it.
I think many of the opinions expressed on this list (including mine) might
not represent what the collective opinion of the industry might be.

Basically this... things I hear from our customers and things I hear from
this list can often times be two separate realities.  Neither is wrong, but
one doesn't necessarily represent the other.

Does that clarify some?

It absolutely does bring clarification :)

There is an old saying that seems appropriate:

You can never please all the people all the time, but you can please most
of the people most of the time.

It's been my experience that where there is more than one person to be
represented - - there are at least as many ideas as people. There is never
just one person right, but many are right at the same time, but they have
different ways of going about explaining themselves or getting their idea to
effective words. I would never say that WISPA is representing every WISP,
but with or without each and every one of your memberships - we are
representing the industry and being heard as so. If there are any of you out
there that aren't a member of WISPA already- whatcha waiting for? :)  

 In numbers there is strength and power. WISPA needs you, your number and
your input to help guide this industry.

Sincerely,
Mac Dearman

 A bastardization of the last definition :-)

 I don't think these lists represent the whole industry, just a part of
 it.
 I think many of the opinions expressed on this list (including mine)
 might
 not represent what the collective opinion of the industry might be.

 Basically this... things I hear from our customers and things I hear
 from
 this list can often times be two separate realities.  Neither is wrong,
 but
 one doesn't necessarily represent the other.

 Does that clarify some?

   I have always assumed that Part-15 or WISPA is a small microcosm of
 the
   industry as a whole.  Most of our customers are not on either
 list...

  What does that statement exactly mean? :)

Mac,
Since this industry has really started to mature, I would
 not be
surprised
if this data is pretty close to the industry as a whole. While
 the
   makeup
of
the WISPA member WISP's may not all be big like this, there are
   certainly
plenty of them that aren't members. Here is a link to a report
 done
   in
California
   
 http://www.redwoodtech.org/files/CBI_WISP_Report_WorkingDraft_0.pdf
   about
the status of the WISP industry. This was done by the state
 broadband
   task
force and seems fairly balanced. California has done a pretty
 good
   job of
documenting where broadband exists, that is, given what any one
   entity can
do to document all the private business. I worked with one client
 to
compare
their results to what they knew as local market reality and it
 was
   pretty
close.
Heck there must be a lot more WISP's out there buying
 equipment
   that
we
know of at WISPA, I don't think the equipment manufacturers could
   survive
on
just the WISPA numbers alone. Given that they still develop new
   products
also indicates there is more market than you or I may be aware of
 or
   else
they would not still put RD efforts in to something they don't
 think
   they
could sell and make profit on. I'm of the firm belief this
 industry
   is
much
bigger than anyone realizes, which is why I want to get the
 mapping
initiative off the ground to start benchmarking things.
   
   
   
Thank You,
Brian Webster
