I have received a copy of the laws layed down by icasa and it is exstremely confusing the way they put there wording. I would like to know if it is really possible for icasa to close down the wireless sector as surely we provide internet services in areas others can not.

It surely looks like they want to put a stop to it but it will damage the
business and corporate companys. Not only that with the 2010 coming up and telek.. not being up to date surely it can only damage the industy.

Please if you have any views on this ..................

The main reason I want to look at this is also the fact that I want to up grade my high sites about 17 of them and add on another 7 later. Currently I want to invest another 1mil and dont want to not be sure as it is alot of a camble if icasa can close u down anytime.

concern ......are you........would you

Do you have a VANS licence or anything at the moment? Personally I doubt ICASA'll touch you as long as you don't cause problems but I'm far from an expert.
 
We are a town bassed network about 250 client at the moment mainly companys and farmers. We cover about 1000 squere kilometres. The biggest in this area even sa onli.... closed down in this area. So business is good but need to upgrade high sites and need to spend or invest. Applied for vans license and paid for it before cut of day but received nothing.
 
Currently we cause no interference with anyone or anything running 5.8
 
Speak to a lawyer like dominic, not the sort of cash you want to mess around with.
 
If you stick to the rules, I don't see Icasa shutting you down, they can't even shutdown those that are amping and messing with the frequencies.

Maybe Wapa will also be able to answer some questions.

But what are you doing to 2.4? Just because one frequency is ok doesnt clear you.

I sincerely hope you are not using amps.
 
WARNING

Everyone who wants to deply on 5Ghz band....

The SAWB weather radar uses aroung 5.6GHz for the Doppler radar system in SA. There has recently been one site that has been online that messed up the Weather Bureau's RADAR system in Irene. Its not known who was the culprit, but after 2 weeks the interferer disappeared... ICASA has an active investigation on this afaik.

Dont be a dumbass! ... you will be hunted down.... an ISM radio cant see the Doppler radar signal... but the radar can see you.

Please take this as a friendly warning. ICASA will change the ISM rules if things like this happen much more.

Even if they track you down and know that from your house the signal came, there is nothing they can do without the actual equipment. This will be important when illegal Wimax is deployed. Wimax will work on all channels from 700mhz to 11ghz. The base stations are so expensive because the patents are held by Intel and others. Building your own Wimax basestation is feasable the DSP engineers that understand OFDM are available for consulting work and a few PHDs have been published. The actuall chipset and PCB are virtually for free it would be the licensing issues which we will ignore by copying the design and pirating the patents.

Lets presume Icasa gives us hassels over illegal Wimax usage then we simply sabotage Mwebs Wimax setup on 3.5ghz using a simple single chip 3.5ghz transmitter and aiming it at their highsites. Wimax can't handle any interference. Koos Bekker in turn can then place a quick tinkle to Icasa and ask Icasa to leave us alone and we will leave his towers alone.

Dude, WTF?! You want to interfere with LEGAL business if they hassle you about illegal Wimax deployments? Are you smoking your socks or sniffing your jocks?

Naspers, M-web, MTN, Vodacom are just legal firms with antennas on their roofs. They are making certain behind the scenes that there will never be a community Wimax license. They are jamming our frequencies using the law, since they write their own laws and conspire with the ANC fatcats as to how to prevent to much bandwidth in SA. Wimax is there and Icasa will make certain that nobody else but their friend Telkom will use it.

Take on of these aerial drones http://www.nongnu.org/paparazzi or http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=92405 and fit a 3.5ghz transmitter. Program the thing to fly in a circle around Telkom's and M-WEBs towers destroying their Wimax - since they are destroying our Wimax. Tracy Cohen for example apparantly took on Telkom today or whatever - the whole thing is a charade - a scam - Telkom controls Icasa and Telkom is controled by Smuts Ngoyama and the ANC elite getting rich and they tell Icasa to destroy Wimax as a technology. Wimax alone is the killer app to stop crime and setup our own broadcasting , CCTV services.
 
You seriously need to see a Doctor, 'coz something sure is not right in captainwifi world!
 
/me smells conspiracy.
I think its good having cptwifi around, his technical facts are all just regugitated websites he has read and are generally off the mark, but.... he is damn entertaining!!
 
The mad captain is certainly entertaining! Wow - He makes Mweb & co sound like something out of the Enigma/Echelon days! I bet they wish they were half as powerful as he claims...

And that stuff about "Wimax can't handle any interference." hoo-boy :D made me laff!

I have a theory that he actually goes and edit/design the sites before he pastes the links.
