We all know what bandwidth costs are like at these shows for vendors. If you don't, the last big show I attended as a vendor cost $1500 for 1.5M for 2 days.

Chris, I would guess that many wisps may be interested, but you'd pay a pretty high price for that month of service. Anyway, Rick Harnish has created a national map of WISPA members (not all wisps on this list are WISPA members). rharn...@wispa.org would be a good contact email for him. I have copied him on this email as well, in case he misses it on the list. He can give you the URL, since I can't find it at the moment. -- * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/* Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/* Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * *NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] query for the list
Hi Chris, Hopefully life is treating you well. If you have a particular location, posting the specific location and dates may get you replies from those who could possibly provide you with service. Delivering 10-50Megs on short notice and for a short interval is not exactly what everyone looks forward to. However if you have some consistent venues it could be possible to do an install where services could be turned up and down on demand. Feel free to ask any questions. Plus you can always give me a call to. Regards. Faisal Imtiaz NEGIA, Inc.

[WISPA] query for the list
Hello all, This may not be the right place for this query, but if it's not I'm hoping someone will point me in the correct direction. I'm not actually a WISP, however on a regular basis I could use service from WISPs. We do network professional services for tradeshows and other events. Many times I could really use a wireless backup link to venues that just have one terrestrial link (or indeed sometimes we could use the wireless as the primary link). Typically these events need connectivity for between 2 days and 2 weeks. We're willing to pay for up to a month's service even if we only need it for 2 days, however for obvious reasons full year contracts are out of the question. We typically know months ahead of time where the location is (once and a great while we will only get 2 weeks warning). Bandwidth demands can vary between 5M and 1G depending on a lot of factors. Typically the information we would get would be something like somebuilding 123 Anywhere Street sometown, somestate X bandwith = 10M burstable to 50M for example. My question is: Is this an appropriate place to post the requests, or if not, where could we post requests to get exposure to potentially interested WISPs?? We've found that just doing a web search for WISPs in the area and repetitive phone calls to yield a close to 0 success rate. I do understand that not every WISP is going to be interested in this sort of business. Thanks in advance, Chris Stradtman WISPA Wants You!
