Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any other questions, Jeff Hi Gerald,

Thanks for your question.

10 Mbps is equivalent to 6.4 T-1’s, so it’s a much more powerful connection – and one that our customers really love.

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any other questions,

]]> Comment on While the CTIA 08 Doors Close - Networks Open by Jared Yaffe http://blog.towerstream.com/2008/09/14/while-the-ctia-08-doors-close-networks-open/#comment-271 Jared Yaffe Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:17:13 +0000 http://blog.towerstream.com/?p=57#comment-271 Hi Jeff, I participated in the 'Utilizing Mobile Broadband' session that you presented at CTIA. You really peaked my interest on fixed-location WiMax. You mentioned that you use it at home and your son is taking advantage of it for Xbox Live. That sounded pretty cool to me. I've not used a wireless technology that had latency low enough to be useful for gaming. Unfortunately it looks like Towerstream only offers corporate plans-- no personal plans with pricing comparable to DSL and Cable. At least none that I have found on your website. Is that a direction that Towerstream is going to go in? Or is it just that you get to play with the toys at home because you're the CEO? :) Hi Jeff,

Friend or Foe? by John Miller http://blog.towerstream.com/2008/08/12/att-jumping-on-the-wimax-bandwagon-friend-or-foe/#comment-22 John Miller Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:51:17 +0000 http://blog.towerstream.com/?p=39#comment-22 Thirty-eight years in IT and data communications have taught me over and over that AT&T wants what is good for AT&T and bad for me and you. They continue after deregulation to strangle me with their control of the local loop and the same weak customer service and "attitude" I heard in 1971 -- "It sounds like a software problem and if we send someone out and it turns out to be your problem we will bill you." Anybody else ever heard that? Not to mention their use of the FCC to create an overwhelming bureaucracy to help them kill competitors for the last couple decades. But I don't have an opinion on the subject.;-) Thirty-eight years in IT and data communications have taught me over and over that AT&T wants what is good for AT&T and bad for me and you.

AT&T seems to refer to fixed Wimax, as a an alternative för copper in rural areas. That's point to point, just new way of doing fixed wireless. A niche solution for thousands of users That is a whole other business than Clearwire's massive investment mobile wimax for a mass market of millions. Very few established operators believe in mobile wimax, very few oppose fixed wimax. You’re confusing two very different uses of Wimax.

Correct me if I am wrong but having them out there gives you more visibility in the marketplace and easier to sell your product or do you think it would make it harder to sell it...still being new to this area of business maybe I'm not seeing it correctly...but competition is good...makes you stand out in your areas of strength...which would probably be customer service to there weakness's which would probably be...customer service...just a thought...
