The Republic Wireless roams between Wi-Fi and cellular. It's the best of both worlds. I'm surprised more of you guys don't know about it. It'd be a great white-label opportunity for WISPs if they were open to that sort of thing.

At towers I tend to use Google Voice on my laptop because the service is so bad.

For those who do have to take calls for work and such it’s nice when they are in areas that cellular coverage is lacking or spotty like basements and such. For a company say like a small WISP that answers their business phones while they are out working, it serves a good purpose, especially at tower sites where you may not have cell coverage but have Wi-Fi running on site for data connectivity. Surprisingly enough Josh not everyone is a 20 something who is glued to their apps and social media sites or email ;-) Thank You, Brian Webster www.wirelessmapping.com www.Broadband-Mapping.com From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto: wireless-boun...@wispa.org ] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Monday, July 07, 2014 1:55 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling Seems pointless nowadays to do any of this, so I know I am not expecting it to happen with AT&T or Verizon.

This company www.republicwireless.com is doing it with CDMA as well. I have been a beta tester for them since their inception. It works and works well on just about any Wi-Fi connection that does not have horrible latency.

Reason being, IOS 8 is adding similar functionality. Isn't this bound to rock the "voice boat" somewhat, and start re-slicing the pie? On a related note, is anyone invoicing any of the incumbents for data used by their customers in some sort of data offloading agreement, yet?
