Nope; In fact, I have never run into any carrier that would do that. All
the dark fiber we lease we get roof rights at every regen.

Are you able to get XO to break out at a fiber hut where (according to
the map) they have fiber but no POP?

We have a national wholesale agreement with XO, which among other
things can get us very low cost colo and roof rights at their switches.

currently working on a way to get into the Metro area to gain access

See how easy it is to get something like this started. I know that
I am south of Mike. I also know that two other WISPs are south of
me all the way to Iowa. Now if we can get those guys on board
anyone in Iowa or Illanios is likely close enough to make this
real. NOW from Illanios it really opens up..... I am an old friend
to an operation on the west side of Chicago connected to Equinix,
one of the largest carriers hotels in the nation. Now with all the
wisps together we could easily afford an OCx and get some real
pricing. And with everyone sharing in the expense we could make
this licensed equipment for a rock solid backbone for all of our
networks.

Hi Brian,
Well we led a session that started a dialog on this topic. It got
quite
loud at times..... The end result was I am willing to donate time
to map out
in one location all of the data people send me with locations of
POP's,
fiber hotels and other inexpensive sources of bandwidth. This could
be from
any source like fiber (lit or dark) or companies that have
bandwidth to
sell. If there are WISP's who want to share the backbones they
have, we can
map them too. I basically just need a list of locations by lat and
long or
street address. If I can get enough different sources of data I
will map it
and make it available on line. The idea is that WISP's can see how
far away
from cheap backhaul they really are and then they can figure out a
way to
bring it to their location. This could also serve as a way to get
regional
groups together to build a mutually beneficial backbone. The
mapping can
have clickable information about each site if that is included in
the data
sent.
If this starts to take off the idea was suggested that a national
group or
co-op be formed to manage this backbone so that one person or
company could
not bring down or segment part of the network. There were many
ideas and
issues brought up about this. I don't want to get this thread
started on all
of that. I really just want to see where were are with access to cheap
bandwidth and how we might be able to stitch together an ad hoc
backbone for
the time being. Anyone who is interested in this project please
send me an
email with WISPBONE in the subject line. I will create a
distribution list
for now and if we get it going we can set up a list somewhere to
have an
online forum. To date I have no input from any of the people who
were in the
session. Just like most of these good ideas, I feel it will die
because
everyone is too busy with their own business and they hope someone
else will
get it going.
Thank You,
Brian Webster
