This is just another case where if it isn't your blood that's flowing out to purchase equipment it isn't well spent. The problem, these situations make our industry look like we are limited on size and feasibility. I applaud those of you who are large and able to do it right. As a small WISP the idea of investors scare me. I have a boss to be accountable too. But to have 10 or 20 bosses who's goal is big ROI, you can keep it.

They blew through investor money like it was falling from the sky... spending almost $1,000,000 just on the infrastructure equipment (backhauls, AP's, routers, etc.) to cover a city of 50,000 population.

If you complained about the wire, they would sell you HomePlug powerline adapters, or sell you a wireless router. It was worse than cancelling AOL, even worse than the cell phone companies. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com><mailto:j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org><mailto:wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 4:20 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Clearwire being sued for poor service, ETFs Clearwire isn't always on?

They advertised their service as an always-on service, comparable to DSL or cable modem; consumers say the service is hit-or-miss, often was comparable to dial-up, and that since Clearwire didn't hold up their end of the deal, subscribers shouldn't have to pay early termination fees.
