Watcher Request
The technical how-to is not the question, though I would like to take
you up on the offer. I will hit you offline about that.
The question is, what would you charge this person. $x/connection,
$y/year, $z/hour, some other way.

> 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.

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?
