Re: [WISPA] Business Value OT Business Growth Rate
The growth rate is not your problem, its the buyer's problem, thats what they contribute by injecting cash. Whats important is... What assets does your company have that will allow a growth rate to be higher, if the buyer leverages your assets to do it. And What size is the market and how much of the markets has been taken by you so far? So if you live in asmall town of 100 and you have 70 of the clients there is not a potential for growth. IF you live in atown of 20,000 and you have a 70 of them, there is a huge growth rate. Now if you have agreements in place with landlords that allows you to serve 5,000, well thats an asset of value that you posses, regardless if your company as is has the abilty to acheive a high growth rate as is.

I realize that their could be two figures, one for rural and the second for metro. Thanks.

Re: [WISPA] Business Value OT Business Growth Rate
It takes a bit to ramp up. The first 6 months are often pretty slow, after that it normally kicks up really quickly. Especially lately. We're seeing anywhere from 50 to 100% per year growth rates depending on market size, funding, network type etc. I'm not advertising because we can't cash flow the growth that we're getting from word of mouth. We're seeing 100% growth every 2 years on word of mouth alone. And we have HEAVY competition in all population centers out here. Heck, just this week I heard of a new wisp that's putting up at least 4 towers in one of my most rural areas. I wish I had his money! hehehehe See how long this one lasts. I've seen quite a few do stuff like that over the years, they rarely last longer than 2 or 4 years. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam - Original Message - From: Victoria [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 9:40 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] Business Value OT Business Growth Rate This is an interesting model that I am currently looking into.
