I'm getting a lot of interest off list on the group idea. Can anyone
(principal member) set up a mail server for use to talk about this.
ASAP! Thanks Brian Charles Wu wrote: I know you don't support the idea of group buys.It's not that I don't support the concept, truthfully, I could care less whether you buy your gear from a distributor, reseller, or direct from the manufacturerI have just seen it implemented (rather unsuccessfully) many times by ISPs such as yourselves, and am trying to help you avoid making such a mistake The idea of a WISP buying group is nothing original, for the past few years, I've seen this idea come up at least once a month on some WISP listserv / forum / etc... However, if it was really that "easy and simple" -- why hasn't it been implemented yet on a consistent long term basis? Here's my observation -The guys that fail with their buying group end up getting their inventory liquidated on Ebay, go bankrupt and disappear -The guys that just barely sell their inventory realize how much of a PITA the organization/operation is, and go back to buying from their distributor/reseller/etc -The guys that are extremely successful become resellers/distributors -Charles ------------------------------------------- CWLab Technology Architects http://www.cwlab.com -- Brian Rohrbacher Reliable Internet, LLC www.reliableinter.net Cell 269-838-8338 "Caught up in the Air" 1 Thess. 4:17 |
