[WISPA] Wispapalooza 2013 Presentations
Hello, If you were not able to make it to Wispapalooza this year you missed a great show. If you did thank you for making it a great show. We will be sending out a survey soon looking for your feedback. All feedback is welcome. Even though the show has been better and better each year we need to make sure we are catering to your needs. One bit of great feedback from Marlon was to have expert sessions. We would find experts on the topic and they would dive deep into it. Below is the schedule of the show with links to the presentations. I am still missing a few, but as soon as I get them I will send an update out. I am also still working on my sample contracts and evaluations for the mergers and acquisitions presentation. I have to scrub out the names of the companies we bought so it takes some time to get it done. As soon as I have that done I will send it out as well. Thanks Sessions good for a new WISP.https://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/6e24ab85467c4a6a88fccc9460e503a3.pdf Saturday 12th PON Fiber Ecosystem Overviewhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/69ed429350d3475b87935bbc3b4c1151.pdf Vault and Fiber Managementhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/46231303d97d46a78d20f3c7ad7e9042.pdf Fiber Optic Cable Handling and Specificshttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/09eb1b55fc4b42bdb966d95e3e8b6f13.pdf What is Engineeringhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/46231303d97d46a78d20f3c7ad7e9042.pdf Excel Worksheethttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/632e584942fc4d629cddb68937a5d8a0.xlsx ONT, OLT and Software Managementhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/07f877916f7a496795fc25d79833fde5.pdf Sunday 13th IPTV- Foundation and Generationshttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/bd9fe2cfdead4d1cbdf27d627db990cf.pdf Monday 14th No Presentations Tuesday 15th Vendor Introductionshttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/8d6dd6e1246147feb9572190bde4d33f.pdf 2:30 Spectrum Hurtz so goodhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/369b19576667470984c8c782bf0071dc.pdf Customer Servicehttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/7d3ee03bebdb49478c642d0790abe14d.pdf WISP 101 Key Spectrumhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/d5e0cad1567a4e7eb6a80e37ae644d2d.pdf FCC Regulatory Checklisthttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/ab3c637248fe4b589a9daffb3b6c6e1b.pdf Mapping and Billinghttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/2b266acd300744b08f430cdcdbdb9250.pdf Expect A Profithttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/f65252ab578e4714b3e3b18db4d48ad2.pdf 3:45 How to hire the right people for installer and supporthttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/8799ad6e7da1431bb1955ea360303ee8.pdf (Wisper Hiring Processhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/77ee6102f3774f29acecbe8faf70497d.pdf) Fiber Economics in Small Towns As we grow - Learn how to protect yourself against legal issues Wednesday 16th 9:00 Getting Address Space from ARINhttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/d6050f643ce34132877a65d16fbf20b4.pdf New Business Opportunities: Small Cells and Wholesale DAShttps://custom.cvent.com/400DF70C75B149AEB88713E091C71C51/files/b133894e44e6418f844499f950a7a8dd.pdf Layer 2 Vs.

Re: [WISPA] Wispapalooza 2013 Presentations
I spoke with a few people and we were talking about small sessions that would maybe fit in those rooms at the end of the hall with more detailed conversation, whatever the topic. The more experienced WISP will find less and less value in the generic sessions, but maybe one that goes into detail on BGP, some facet of marketing or accounting, LTE, etc. What topics I don't know off hand. These types of sessions could go on for 2 or 3 hours. Perhaps more interactive. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Nathan Stooke nstooke...@wisperisp.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 10:58:52 AM Subject: [WISPA] Wispapalooza 2013 Presentations Hello, If you were not able to make it to Wispapalooza this year you missed a great show.

I agree with Mike, As an older WISP, the general discussions are getting to be less of a value every year. Thanks Mike for pointing that out.

If you did thank you for making it a great show. We will be sending out a survey soon looking for your feedback. All feedback is welcome. Even though the show has been better and better each year we need to make sure we are catering to your needs. One bit of great feedback from Marlon was to have expert sessions. We would find experts on the topic and they would dive deep into it. Below is the schedule of the show with links to the presentations. I am still missing a few, but as soon as I get them I will send an update out. I am also still working on my sample contracts and evaluations for the mergers and acquisitions presentation. I have to scrub out the names of the companies we bought so it takes some time to get it done. As soon as I have that done I will send it out as well.

Re: [WISPA] Wispapalooza 2013 Presentations
It's more a space issue than a moderation issue, if you have a small room.

The more experienced WISP will find less and less value in the generic sessions, but maybe one that goes into detail on BGP, some facet of marketing or accounting, LTE, etc. What topics I don't know off hand. These types of sessions could go on for 2 or 3 hours. Perhaps more interactive. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: Nathan Stooke nstooke...@wisperisp.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 10:58:52 AM Subject: [WISPA] Wispapalooza 2013 Presentations Hello, If you were not able to make it to Wispapalooza this year you missed a great show.
