I hate to insert myself into a thread I don't really care about nor have been paying attention to, but I feel compelled to reply to this due to one sentence you stated...
====== Trust me, there is very little if anything any vendor or WISP does that's > secret or special. ====== If you don't feel there is anything -- technological or business practice -- that sets you apart from the next guy then why bother? I may buy the same parts you do, but how I use them to excel my business I feel is very important and privileged information. Heck, the difference between the way you install a radio and the way I do could mean the difference between going out of business and making a million. I strongly disagree with your statement and believe everyone has their secret or special ways they do lots of things that allows them to be successful... >From your opinion sounds like you would let a competitor come in and join you for a weeks co-op to see how you do everything... I would never allow that. If you wouldn't allow them to spend some time with you maybe you should re-think your comment :) Lastly, I might be talking about something that wasn't even part of this thread which is entirely possible lol Scott Carullo Brevard Wireless 321-205-1100 x102 -------- Original Message -------- > From: "Mike Hammett" <wispawirel...@ics-il.net> > Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 9:18 PM > To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] WISPA Webinar Announced > > I know a lot of people feel that way, but it's bull.
