samsam: gasps network is based on 802.11b and i havn't heard of any trials... i am manly wondering about iptv services
alasta: I know that Gasp's existing technology is based on some older 802.11 technology, but I picked up a brochure at an Unlimited Potential event a few months ago which said that Gasp was trialling WiMax. I can recall Mauricio being there at the time, so perhaps he can remember some of the detail.

freitasm: Yep, I remember that.
However, Gasp Wireless Broadband never replied to my e-mails asking about this service, even one I've sent explicitly quoting their presence in the UP event. As usual I don't trust or don't tend to do business with companies who can't be bothered replying to e-mails. I mean, what kind of service can you expect?
Gasp I get the impression is a small nothing company anyway...proberly get gobbled up sometime soon as part of a rationalisation of the market.
I challenge them to say otherwise.
While knowing of current/future WiMax networks/providers around the country such as slingshot/woosh, would be nice to have it offered hear in Wellington.
antoniosk: So about a $1m in change to cover wellington. That's an awful lot of flat-rate broadbands to sell to start getting return, in a market where broadband prices drop monthly.....
TheBartender: The first ISP to offer a viable high speed service at realistic prices, proberly best wireless/wimax, that has IPTV and VOIP built into packages just like telecom/skytv, telstraclear/saturntv, will be onto a winning formula....

freitasm: And do you think this would come at $29.95/month? Nope.
