Star-Os Hotspots?

[go.fast]

When ?
I want to slowley or quickly turn all my Micro Pops into hotspots... I don't want to share revenue or customer lists with anyone other than some other isp's of my choice.
I know you guys are working on this, maybe there should be a special list just for 'feature requests' of the new Star-Os Hot Spots.

As a StarOS OEM, I would like to be able to construct a roaming network that I manage and that I do the payment clearing for. Paying 50% of the revenue to someone else is not the plan, rather I would like the option of being the clearing house. The idea being that I would sell my clearing services for pennies to my wireless customers, with the majority of the revenue going to the WISP, rather than the clearing house.

I would also be willing to participate in a larger roaming network, though from the point of view of a reseller/OEM, that is somewhat outside of the scope of the business plan.

Just so you know - HotSpotzz will pass the radius request back to your server and you deal with the payment and connectivity. The cost for this- zero - except you agree to let them use your network and bandwidth when they have a customer roaming the countryside.

Why not use this to get started? I doubt you will have a flood of HotSpotzz users swamping your LAN, and they get to add another dot on their map.

That is good to know..... Probably a good tradeoff...

Assuming that HotSpotzz is compatable with PPPoE...

Is it?

Or is that a stupid question since in that case you would be using hotspotzz protocol?

[lonnie]

You'll use one or the other. HotSpotzz authenticates and provides the IP.

[georgew]

Yeah, but will there be a hotspotzz client in a router or cpe?

Probably not...

I talked with HotSpottzz and since no revenue flows to the "remote" (roam-host) WISP, you could have someone who buys a card and subscribes in an area away from you but "camps-out" under your AP.
