Come up and see what we are doing on our
WiFi Network. We have the ability to sell service by the hour, 4 hours, 8
hours, 1 day, 1 week……whatever time period you want to use. We do
this on our network today. I will get with you offline to discuss details, but
we are doing this today on our network. It allows truckers to get online while
they are in town waiting on a load or for any of our fixed wireless customers
to travel around on our network in any town that we service.

Watcher Request
All the discussion has been good, but I would like to get back to the
original question. The Watcher is looking at a park and connect, not
mobile application. So, let's assume my network will support him
connecting to any POP. Any suggestions how to bill a customer that is
only going to connect 2 to 4 times per month for 6 months a year?

They take it to a disaster, park and connect. I am still working on that one,
but there are not a lot a disasters in our area, so the first one was free.
