[WISPA] G4 TV's Call For Help

2005-11-30 Thread WWS2
This is a great show but today Leo made an error and I think someone from WISPA should contact them and tell them about WISP's. There was a caller today from Canada who was moving to where there was no DSL or Cable, and asked about Satellite ISP. Leo talked about that and then mentioned new

PPPoE will break things like printers. I would use a HotSpot style authentication and enable only the known machines. All other machines are sent to a login page or are simply firewalled and prevented from doing anything. HotSpot and PPPoE require that you have a radius server. Lonnie On

Hi Dylan, Marketing practices depend on your business model and your customers. If you can only reach a few entities, it's usually best to go directly to them with your pitch. If you want widespread publicity, more traditional channels are usually most efficient: Radio, TV, billboards, etc.
