Good luck. Do you have the needed capital to start this? Will you abide by the laws?

Welcome then. Don’t expect a warm round of applause though...
 
I'm not even gonna bother, other than to suggest that you search these forums for the word WISP KillerB!

Well a good start would be:

Wireless Access Providers’ Association of South Africa

But I never dealt with them, I don't know how good they are or whats the cost involved to get help from them. Even some wugs decides to associate them self with this organization.

Regards,
 
Well all I can say is good luck, like ld13 said you'll need allot of capital. Its easy to have a few Access Points and share a adsl line, but ill asure you you'll fail that way. If you want to do it, do it the right way.
 
Oooh, I think im going to go ghetto for this one...
/me turns laptop sideways while typing flame :D
Okay but seriously, You need ALOT of capital and the neccessary licenses otherwise you lose all of your kit when ICASA decide to come and take it down.
 
that did not help

ok then lett me ask this way... where must i go to get the necesery licence and so on the wireless part are no prob...
 
I am bored! Tell us how you plan on setting up the equipment, what equipment, how u gonna do the whole thing?
 
I would suggest first to get two pieces of kit and experiment a bit to get the hang of it before jumping into the deep end.

Or join a WuG first - get some experience while you can.
 
I don't think we would have him to be honest! We can't start going around educating all of S.A's future Wisps now can we!

how will you provide internet access? eg what type of line and from who will you get your bandwidth from?

I'm assuming you have done a business plan, so how many clients do you plan on having before you get a dedicated support desk or will you have one from day one.

what sort of amps are you planning on using on your radios 1watt 2 maybe.. they quite good i hear?
what are you going to usage for your billing systems
what will your prices be like?
