Open the network up

We have a WISP in my town. My complaint is that companies have zero enthusiasm with this technology today. OK, I've got a 3 Mbps download cap, but I only get that if there's enough bandwidth at any given time. On the other hand, I could be the only one on the network and I would still only get 3 Mbps. I ask you, is that good business? Make hay when the sun shines. Make the full bandwidth of the system available at any given time which helps to avoid traffic jams too. Assign the free bandwidth according to usage where if I never use my broadband, I have higher priority then Joe bit torrent, for any excess bandwidth. And that goes for simple wireless transfers too. Just serving internet is not taxing that wireless network. Let people transfer wireless within the network, not just over the internet with a similar system of priority ranking. That idea has the potential to dramatically reduce internet traffic where you're using a lan finder bit torrent model, picking up large files via a large lan network rather then from the net.

Thanks INQ.

Be real, be sober.

RE: rural access

Why wait for a telco? Become part of a free, global community. http://global.freifunk.net/
Build your own wireless network and attach it to the world.

rural access

now, if Sprint would please concentrate their efforts on the last-mile communities, primarly rural, which are overwhelmingly just out of reach of the wired (cable, DSL, FIOS) communities, then they would get my attention-- until then, they are just another urban connectivity carrier, woopteedoo--
