"Along these lines..." sorry, I'm still LOL at your pun, Ryan. My family Nokia phones have the Joikuspot app (cost $6) which turns the phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot through AT&T 3G. I have an old laptop and dongle and it becomes the network's 3rd best route. It gets about 1.2 mbps down and is useful, at least. However, it's a manual decision but the VoIP is actually quite useful through it. In addition, the Nokia phones have a SIP app built in and it is also a line on my office system.
Who have thought about all this 10 years ago? . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Goldberg Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2010 1:27 PM To: WISPA General List Cc: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Non-Primary (backup) Internet Services Along these lines, we sell "high availability Internet" for a pretty good premium.
