..... Icasa has no teeth. The opensource commons is a much greater threat. A starnetwifi 12dbi AP/bridge/repeater CPE network costs R700.

A couple of these connected to a locust mesh peered to a www.bentlywalker.net 2meg link are reducing the barriers to entry. This case has Zero impact on the wi-fi/Dslam commons.

Cool. You supply these?

I Buy.

This is your first order for 50 units.

Will pay in whatever format you prefer. If you prefer insulsts as currency, google for "the best webpage in the universe".
 
Yip www.starnetwifi.com sells the pigtials mmcx-to-n-female
etc for virtually nothing. Why don't you go to the website and check it out?
mmcx-to-n-female pigtail is $3.4. A senao 200mw PCMCIA card is $29
A PCItoPCMCIA adaptor is around $18. Our miro wimax chaps wants nearly R1000
for these. Do the math and your CPE box/antenna/pigtail/ AP works out to R700.
But they hardly speak english and after two attempts to explain to them they must
post the stuff to SA , I am about to give up. www.moskaluk.com has had more
luck though. Their premises is not in Nigeria but in Hong Kong, so this is not some sort
of scam. Moskaluk has verified the quality of their products, he is a major contributor
to the locust mesh.

it is obvious from this part of your post that you have not bothered to actually read what i have written & i belive that would be immediately apparent to anyone reading the thread. you would appear to have a pathological desire to sensationalise the irrelevant and to throw names, urls and implications together into a flimsy fabric of scatological innuendo. the facts are as posted above.

The penny drops. :D
 
"scatological innuendo"
Does this mean that dominic thinks that capt'n wifi is talking ****?
 
Captian WiFi if you had a close look to that card you will see that it is not external compatable but instead it has a 3db built in antenna so line of site you will gain up to 1200m and to import those aren't a problem but what happens when you have a warrenty issue on that you need to send it back right and for one? they will look at it and laugh at you...
 
o yes just one question what antenna are you going to use in what enclosure and with what cable loss are you going to sit with,thanks i am very happy with Miro cpe's they carry quite a good tech support on them asswell and never had a warrenty issue on that though.
 
domonic, you seem to be the one to ask. Where does all this leave Uninet? I think my layman's mind can't quite grasp all this, or it's too cold and early on a Monday morning.

If I understand correctly Uninet is not effected by this (the case) and it is still quite legal to make use of their services. Can you please clarify that point for me. Thanks :confused:

correct that uninet is not affected by this case and neither is any other wisp and that the outcome of the case makes no difference to the legality of services provided.

[please note - the aforegoing is a tricksy lawyer statement]

mmm yes thanks domonic, noted. ;)
 
Sorry to be blunt but if wisps are illegal how come there are so many and why doesn't icasa do something about. I know of wisps that have been around for years. (I'm all for wisps btw)

domonic, thought about it again, let me refrase.

If I was to make use of Uninet's WDSL64 service, signed up, paid instalation fees (quite steep btw), and monthly subs, would I stand to loose my intial "investment" in the near future and find myself accoutable to breaking the law?
 
you might loose your initial investment but not accountable to breaking the law.... Ther service provider might be found accountable to breaking the law!
 
Another thing the hardware you receive is pretty useful ..... can connect to a friend that had uninet in ur area and have own little lan

thanks freeeeek. Suppose you are right about the WAN thing, but is that not agianst the law? something about not legal to braodcast outside the boundries of your own property, or some such like.

i love "hypothetical" scenarios :)....imho i do not believe that you are in any great danger of losing your initial investment and you are not breaking the law by using the service nor do you own any of the customer premises equipment (i.e. there is no way you can be criminally charged for using the service)

whether you can be criminally charged for providing the service?? let's just say i have yet to see any prosecution of a wisp with a VANS licence attempted under the telecomms act....all i am aware of is an unsuccesful prosecution based on a piece of legislation dating back to the 1950's...it disappeared without a trace as soon as difficult questions started to be asked

apologies - i cannot be more specific
