How to start a WIFI hotspot / WISP thingy? lol

[rebel998]

I really don't know why you bother the forum about this.

If you're already doing this, why bother with all the questions now?

Do you want to increase your signal "cloud"?

 

[D-Boy]

well, I've been phoning ICASA for 3 month's now, and.... they still don't have answers for me, they seem to not know what a wireless internet service provider is

So Forum "aka rebel998" whats the rules on a WISP......?

 

[D-Boy]

D-Boy, you're saying all the wrong things.

Are you serious or just having us on?

How old are you??

did you have a bad night on a chat room?............



start typing sense.......

 

[rebel998]

As far as I know you need a license for a Wisp.

Why don't you download the act from Icasa's site?

Maybe that'll help?

And I understand you're frustration with Icasa, they're s dead end.

 

[D-Boy]

ok, oh boy, have you seen the website, download section, its just a bunch of PDF files making no sense at all.....

It's like ICASA want people to not buy licenses so that they can fine a illegal WISP "no moire then R30,000.00" FML.....

I've seen some other WISP advertising its ICASA license on its website full sized scans: "oooohhhh photoshop"

Individual electronic communications network license
ECNS

Individual electronic communications service license
ECS


So thats what a WISP need?........lol.....but still not 100% sure, because ICASA cant help me.... hahahahahahh

d-boy you need the license to be able to broadcast over an public road, if you don't have that ECNS license then icasa can confiscate your equipment and give you an fine..

Ok, an that will be a Class licence ? right ? or what?

And wtf is a Individual licence:? R50k

 

[KillerB]

that's an class c license its know R20 000 and you don't need an individual license.

 

[D-Boy]

that's an class c license its know R20 000 and you don't need an individual license.

Thats alot of money man.... what about I setup a couple of hotspots and use a CPE client unit and connect direct to A local wisp, then my load balancing problem is also sorted out
or will I also need to be the owner of the premises
and what about, if I use a repeater on my neighbors house over a public road

 

[KillerB]

well there you go over an public road. (need the license), you can connect to an other WISP but if they state you cannot resell without there consent then they can take you to court and file and law suit against you, that will even be more than R20 000 in the long run...

 

[D-Boy]

man then I just use 3G modem's on each hotspot

 

[KillerB]

i bet you 10 bucks you don't even have an TV-License

 

[D-Boy]

wtf.... and your next post will probably be about a drivers license hey?

 

[KillerB]

well i rest my case...
