They’re scared.  Don’t sweat it.  Just be the nice, customer friendly WISP, and he will be shooting himself in the foot.   Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] [good and bad] New aPPo from Singapore   I got a competitor who is calming I am stealing his customers 2 on my street and one far away all complained of having crappy service from that WISP and choose to go with and approached me now this WISP is saying I am bad news to these customers and I ripped them off etc etc and leaving messages saying I stole my last customer form them and they will take ME to court and many people will be after me now hahaha How is that not legal I did nothing wrong these guys are crazy they provided poor service in a competitive market and their customers came to me Sorry but I think they would lose in court would you not think?

In this particular area our primary is Waveriders 900mgHz NLOS. (trees, lots of them)  As far as a legal aspect, our lawyers indicate that you must be able to 'prove' they are intentionally harming your service. Now, by proof... that means... in a court of law. Unfortunatly its hard to _prove_ that whatever they deployed for whatever reason is not something truthfully neccesary for their system. As far as the wireless regulations go, its a free spectrum... there are no rules beyond the ones already initiated by the FCC (max gain etc).                Austin H.            [EMAIL PROTECTED]            800.255.6222 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Dan Petermann Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 4:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] [good and bad] New aPPo from Singapore Nothing a needle pierce wouldn't fix. Take a needle, run it into his coax until it hits the center conductor, cut the needle flush and smooth the jacket over the hole. Instant cable short, he will never find it and will have to rerun the coax. I know, it's evil, mean, dirty and nasty. I've tested it and it works, never done it to a competitor but nice thing to know. ;-) At 11:31 AM 9/3/2003 -0500, you wrote: I don't really know for sure what they are using, simpleMonitor showed me the MAC address of their ap and I looked it up and found out it is an Aironet MAC address.  When we called them over a month ago to try and cooperate with them, they told us they were going to be running on channels 1, 6, & 11.  We told them that we were running on channels 1, 4, 8, & 11 and asked them if they could change their channels, they basically said they would do what they want, wherever they want, and it is our problem, not theirs.  Even when we told them, nicely, that we were here first, we already had customers online on those channels, they didn't give a s**t.  I may be over reacting too soon, but I am going by the attitude they gave us when we talked to them.  There seemed to be absolutely no interest on their part to get along or cooperate or share the spectrum.   Gloria   ----- Original Message ----- From: Pascal Losier To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 11:09 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] [good and bad] New aPPo from Singapore Is the aironet of your competitor FHSS or DSSS ???
