Utah’s getting some of America’s best broadband

TOMORROW (May 17), I'm at the INTERNET ARCHIVE in SAN FRANCISCO to keynote the 10th anniversary of the AUTHORS ALLIANCE.

Residents of 21 cities in Utah have access to some of the fastest, most competitively priced broadband in the country, at speeds up to 10gb/s and prices as low as $75/month. It's uncapped, and the connections are symmetrical: perfect for uploading and downloading. And it's all thanks to the government.

This broadband service is, of course, delivered via fiber optic cable. Of course it is. Fiber is vastly superior to all other forms of broadband delivery, including satellites, but also cable and DSL. Fiber caps out at 100tb/s, while cable caps out at 50gb/s – that is, fiber is 1,000 times faster:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/why-fiber-vastly-superior-cable-and-5g

Despite the obvious superiority of fiber, America has been very slow to adopt it. Our monopolistic carriers act as though pulling fiber to our homes is an impossible challenge. All those wires that currently go to your house, from power-lines to copper phone-lines, are relics of a mysterious, fallen civilization and its long-lost arts. Apparently we could no more get a new wire to your house than we could build the pyramids using only hand-tools.

In a sense, the people who say we can't pull wires anymore are right: these are relics of a lost civilization. Specifically, electrification and later, universal telephone service was accomplished through massive federal grants under the New Deal – grants that were typically made to either local governments or non-profit co-operatives who got everyone in town connected to these essential modern utilities.

Today – thanks to decades of neoliberalism and its dogmatic insistence that governments can't do anything and shouldn't try, lest they break the fragile equilibrium of the market – we have lost much of the public capacity that our grandparents took for granted. But in the isolated pockets where this capacity lives on, amazing things happen.

Since 2015, residents of Jackson County, KY – one of the poorest counties in America – have enjoyed some of the country's fastest, cheapest, most reliable broadband. The desperately poor Appalachian county is home to a rural telephone co-op, which grew out of its rural electrification co-op, and it used a combination of federal grants and local capacity to bring fiber to every home in the county, traversing dangerous mountain passes with a mule named "Ole Bub" to reach the most remote homes. The result was an immediately economic uplift for the community, and in the longer term, the county had reliable and effective broadband during the covid lockdowns:

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-one-traffic-light-town-with-some-of-the-fastest-internet-in-the-us

Contrast this with places where the private sector has the only say over who gets broadband, at what speed, and at what price. America is full of broadband deserts – deserts that strand our poorest people. Even in the hearts of our largest densest cities, whole neighborhoods can't get any broadband. You won't be surprised to learn that these are the neighborhoods that were historically redlined, and that the people who live in them are Black and brown, and also live with some of the highest levels of pollution and its attendant sicknesses:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/10/flicc/#digital-divide

These places are not set up for success under the best of circumstances, and during the lockdowns, they suffered terribly. You think your kid found it hard to go to Zoom school? Imagine what life was like for kids who attended remote learning while sitting on the baking tarmac in a Taco Bell parking lot, using its free wifi:

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/09/02/elem-s02.html

ISPs loathe competition. They divide up the country into exclusive territories like the Pope dividing up the "new world" and do not trouble one another by trying to sell to customers outside of "their" turf. When Frontier – one of the worst of America's terrible ISPs – went bankrupt, we got to see their books, and we learned two important facts:

The company booked one million customers who had no alternative as an asset, because they would pay more for slower broadband, and Frontier could save a fortune by skipping maintenance, and charging these customers for broadband even through multi-day outages; and

Frontier knew that it could make a billion dollars in profit over a decade by investing in fiber build-out, but it chose not to, because stock analysts will downrank any carrier that made capital investments that took more than five years to mature. Because Frontier's execs were paid primarily in stock, they chose to strand their customers with aging copper connections and to leave a billion dollars sitting on the table, so that their personal net worth didn't suffer a temporary downturn:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/frontiers-bankruptcy-reveals-cynical-choice-deny-profitable-fiber-millions

ISPs maintain the weirdest position: that a) only the private sector can deliver broadband effectively, but b) to do so, they'll need massive, unsupervised, no-strings-attached government handouts. For years, America went along with this improbable scheme, which is why Trump's FCC chairman Ajit Pai gave the carriers $45 billion in public funds to string slow, 19th-century-style copper lines across rural America:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/27/all-broadband-politics-are-local/

Now, this is obviously untrue, and people keep figuring out that publicly provisioned broadband is the only way for America to get the same standard of broadband connectivity that our cousins in other high-income nations enjoy. In order to thwart the public's will, the cable and telco lobbyists joined ALEC, the far-right, corporatist lobbying shop, and drafted "model legislation" banning cities and counties from providing broadband, even in places the carriers chose not to serve:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/19/culture-war-bullshit-stole-your-broadband/

Red states across America adopted these rules, and legislators sold this to their base by saying that this was just "keeping the government out of their internet" (even as every carrier relied on an exclusive, government-granted territorial charter, often with massive government subsidies).

ALEC didn't target red states exclusively because they had pliable, bribable conservative lawmakers. Red states trend rural, and rural places are the most likely sites for public fiber. Partly, that's because low-density areas are harder to make a business case for, but also because these are also the places that got electricity and telephone through New Deal co-ops, which are often still in place.

Just about the only places in America where people like their internet service are the 450+ small towns where the local government provides fiber. These places vote solidly Republican, and it was their beloved conservative lawmakers whom ALEC targeted to enact laws banning their equally beloved fiber – keep voting for Christmas, turkeys, and see where it gets you:

https://communitynets.org/content/community-network-map

But spare a little sympathy for the conservative movement here. The fact that reality has a pronounced leftist bias must be really frustrating for the ideological project of insisting that anything the market can't provide is literally impossible.

Which brings me back to Utah, a red state with a Republican governor and legislature, and a national leader in passing unconstitutional, unhinged, unworkable legislation as part of an elaborate culture war kabuki:

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/24/1165975112/utah-passes-an-age-verification-law-for-anyone-using-social-media

For more than two decades, a coalition of 21 cities in Utah have been building out municipal fiber. The consortium calls itself UTOPIA: "Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency":

https://www.utopiafiber.com/faqs/

UTOPIA pursues a hybrid model: they run "open access" fiber and then let anyone offer service over it. This can deliver the best of both worlds: publicly provisioned, blazing-fast fiber to your home, but with service provided by your choice of competing carriers. That means that if Moms for Liberty captures you local government, you're not captive to their ideas about what sites your ISP should block.

As Karl Bode writes for Techdirt, Utahns in UTOPIA regions have their choice of 18 carriers, and competition has driven down prices and increased speeds. Want uncapped 1gb fiber? That's $75/month. Want 10gb fiber? That's $150:

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/15/utah-locals-are-getting-cheap-10-gbps-fiber-thanks-to-local-governments/

UTOPIA's path to glory wasn't an easy one. The dismal telco monopolists Qwest and Lumen sued to put them out of business, delaying the rollout by years:

https://www.deseret.com/2005/7/22/19903471/utopia-responds-to-qwest-lawsuit/

UTOPIA has been profitable and self-sustaining for over 15 years and shows no sign of slowing. But 17 states still ban any attempt at this.

Keeping up such an obviously bad policy requires a steady stream of distractions and lies. The "government broadband doesn't work" lie has worn thin, so we've gotten a string of new lies about wireless service, insisting that fiber is obviated by point-to-point microwave relays, or 5g, or satellite service.

There's plenty of places where these services make sense. You're not going to be able to use fiber in a moving car, so yeah, you're going to want 5g (and those 5g towers are going to need to be connected to each other with fiber). Microwave relay service can fill the gap until fiber can be brought in, and it's great for temporary sites (especially in places where it doesn't rain, because rain, clouds, leaves and other obstructions are deadly for microwave relays). Satellite can make sense for an RV or a boat or remote scientific station.

But wireless services are orders of magnitude slower than fiber. With satellite service, you share your bandwidth with an entire region or even a state. If there's only a couple of users in your satellite's footprint, you might get great service, but when your carrier adds a thousand more customers, your connection is sliced into a thousand pieces.

That's also true for everyone sharing your fiber trunk, but the difference is that your fiber trunk supports speeds that are tens of thousands of times faster than the maximum speeds we can put through freespace electromagnetic spectrum. If we need more fiber capacity, we can just fish a new strand of fiber through the conduit. And while you can increase the capacity of wireless by increasing your power and bandwidth, at a certain point you start pump so much EM into the air that birds start falling out of the sky.

Every wireless device in a region shares the same electromagnetic spectrum, and we are only issued one such spectrum per universe. Each strand of fiber, by contrast, has its own little pocket universe, containing a subset of that spectrum.

Despite all its disadvantages, satellite broadband has one distinct advantage, at least from an investor's perspective: it can be monopolized. Just as we only have one electromagnetic spectrum, we also only have one sky, and the satellite density needed to sustain a colorably fast broadband speed pushes the limit of that shared sky:

https://spacenews.com/starlink-vs-the-astronomers/

Private investors love monopoly telecoms providers, because, like pre-bankruptcy Frontier, they are too big to care. Back in 2021, Altice – the fourth-largest cable operator in America – announced that it was slashing its broadband speeds, to be "in line with other ISPs":

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/27/immortan-altice/#broadband-is-a-human-right

In other words: "We've figured out that our competitors are so much worse than we are that we are deliberately degrading our service because we know you will still pay us the same for less."

This is why corporate shills and pro-monopolists prefer satellite to municipal fiber. Sure, it's orders of magnitude slower than fiber. Sure, it costs subscribers far more. Sure, it's less reliable. But boy oh boy is it profitable.

The thing is, reality has a pronounced leftist bias. No amount of market magic will conjure up new electromagnetic spectra that will allow satellite to attain parity with fiber. Physics hates Starlink.

Yeah, I'm talking about Starlink. Of course I am. Elon Musk basically claims that his business genius can triumph over physics itself.

That's not the only vast, impersonal, implacable force that Musk claims he can best with his incredible reality-distortion field. Musk also claims that he can somehow add so many cars to the road that he will end traffic – in other words, he will best geometry too:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/herbies-revenge/#100-billion-here-100-billion-there-pretty-soon-youre-talking-real-money

Geometry hates Tesla, and physics hates Starlink. Reality has a leftist bias. The future is fiber, and public transit. These are both vastly preferable, more efficient, safer, more reliable and more plausible than satellite and private vehicles. Their only disadvantage is that they fail to give an easily gulled, thin-skinned compulsive liar more power over billions of people. That's a disadvantage I can live with.

on reduced speed mobile internet

it is not possible to set my expectations for this service BELOW "if I have 5 bars of 5g internet, google maps should function, albeit slowly"

because that is not currently true I must conclude that some form of fraud is happening, either my Internet is being fraudulently throttled as a punitive measure for being poor, or the ISP in question was never capable of serving internet to such a wide demographic and so Must reduce prices, increase efficiency, or lower average speeds as needed. i tend to lean towards the former situation rather than the latter.

i believe att is perfectly capable of making a profit serving full speed for $60 and 1/10th speed for $30 a month.

the current situation is more like 1/16th-1/1000th speed depending.

i cannot be made to expect that. those speeds are NONSENSICALLY low. those speeds fall beneath the current minimum speed limit of the Internet.

sites I am accessing are reasonably deciding that I must not actually HAVE Internet because 20kbps is such an otherwise inexplicably low number, what else could they assume.

they must assume I am having SEVERE Internet connectivity issues because what other situation would produce a ping of 90ms, upload speed of 3.3Mbps, and a download speed of 3.3kbps. those numbers do not make sense otherwise.

and so, given that I'm on a federal connectivity plan for the Explicit purpose of ensuring those in poverty have basic minimum functioning internet, it could be cleanly argued that cell phone companies like T-Mobile, att, etc, are meaningfully defrauding the United States government.

that is not a tenable position. policy must change, NOT my expectations

Happy Birthday Scottish Golfer Sandy Lyle.

Saandy was on February 9th 1958 in Shrewsbury, England but considered Scottish, Lyle was one of Europe's top golfers during the 1980s. He is one of the golfers credited with breaking American domination of golf on the world stage.

Lyle was introduced to golf as soon as he would walk. His father, Alex, was a teaching professional at Hawkstone Park GC and had his son playing with miniature clubs from the age of 3. Lyle had an outstanding amateur career culminating in victory in the English Amateur Stroke Play championship in 1975 and 1977. He also served on the Walker Cup squad twice.

He turned professional in 1977 and was nominated Rookie of the Year in his first full season a year later. His first professional victory was the 1978 Nigerian Open. As a player, Lyle is renowned for his cool temperament and focus. However, his form is not always consistent and tends to play either exceptionally well or exceptionally bad.

Lyle won his first Major, the Open, in 1985. Perhaps the highlight of his career was victory in the 1988 US Masters. He was the first non-American to win the event, a victory made sweeter because of the intense competition between America and Europe in all aspects of golf. Lyle has also played on 5 Ryder Cup squads and represented Scotland 3 times in the World Cup.

On a personal level, Lyle has an amiable character and is modest despite his success and stardom. He enjoys Chinese food and is somewhat of an expert. He is also a keen enthusiastic of motorbike scrambling. In 1989, Lyle's form began to slump. His last victory was the Volvo Masters in 1992 and since then has quietly retired from the main tour.

On turning 50 in 2008 he played on the Champions Tour and the European Senior Tour winning his first tournament in 19 years when he captured his first European Senior Tour title at the 2011 ISPS Handa Senior World Championship, held in China.

Lyle has morphed into a lumberjack since bringing down the curtain on a near-50-year career last year. A five-hour round of golf is like a stroll in the park compared to a hard day-long shift developing his farming skills at his Balquhidder estate 10 miles north-west of Callander.

The setup also allows for centralized processing and multi-OS support, with reduced slowdowns during multitasking. This makes the Cockpit Elite and Ride Elite ideal for vehicles with multiple cameras, sensors, and advanced features including AI-powered voice control. Qualcomm also promises minimal energy consumption with the new chips, which feature intelligent power management hardware alongside software that keeps an eye on power consumption. There's also an added emphasis on safety, and the new platforms are designed to comply with automotive safety standards for ASIL-D systems, with a safety island controller as well as hardware design that ensures interference-free usage for a reliable user experience when needed. Hands-free driving is something that Qualcomm has also worked on with the new chips. They're designed to work with context-aware applications as well as real-time driver monitoring and enhanced object detection. There's a newer Qualcomm Adreno GPU onboard that can deliver up to thrice the performance (versus older models) with advanced graphical rendering for multimedia and visual UI elements while on the go. Qualcomm adds that the elite-tier platforms are designed to help manufacturers accelerate feature development via a cloud-based approach for streamlined software development. Qualcomm's new automotive platforms also support comprehensive vehicular camera systems, and include an advanced Image Signal Processor (ISP) for clear visuals even in less-than-ideal driving conditions. This also includes support for 40 multimodal sensors, up to 20 high-resolution cameras for 360-degree external coverage and in-cabin monitoring. AI-enhanced imaging tools are also present for better image quality. Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite will be available for sampling in 2025.

How to Choose the Best Router for Your Home Network Needs

A good router is essential for a smooth online experience, but there are so many on the market that it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you. This guide will help you select a router that offers high speeds, excellent coverage and the extra features your home network needs.

Before diving into the features, let’s explore how xFi Complete can enhance your internet experience.

Budget

The router you buy is a critical component of your home network. It connects to your ISP via Ethernet and manages data transfer between your devices. That's why the brand and price of the router you choose is essential. A good router can boost Wi-Fi speeds, provide quality service options, and protect your privacy with parental controls.

If your ISP offers a gigabit router, it is ideal. This router type provides higher throughput for large file transfers between wired devices like computers, NAS drives, and smart-home systems. You should also consider the number of ports a router has. Most routers have four Ethernet ports connecting devices like smart TVs and gaming consoles to the Internet. It would be best to look for a router with USB ports to connect printers and storage to the network.

If you plan to use the router for gaming or streaming, look for one with MU-MIMO technology. This feature increases Wi-Fi speed by using multiple antennas to transmit data. It also improves reliability and reduces lag times between the router and connected devices. Look for a router with parental controls, too, to block access to websites and apps you don't want kids to see. If you have a larger house or thick walls, consider adding a mesh Wi-Fi system or router extender to improve coverage.

Compatibility with ISP

If you’re switching to a new ISP or already have a cable modem and router combo, ensure the device is compatible with your internet service. This ensures you can utilize the full speed of your service (if it’s advertised) without the device slowing down your connection. If you’re moving to a new ISP, the provider should have a list of approved routers.

Another critical factor is the router’s maximum speed. You want a device that can handle your internet service’s maximum speed and have enough ethernet ports to support wired devices like desktop PCs, network-attached storage (NAS) drives, or home automation hubs. Depending on your needs, you may also want to look for a router that supports link aggregation. This feature combines two gigabit Ethernet LAN ports into one and improves performance for large file transfers.

Other features to consider include beam-forming, which focuses wireless signals in a single direction to improve your connection with the router and individual devices. Mesh Wi-Fi systems use multiple devices to cover larger homes, which can be an excellent solution if you have dead spots in your house. These are typically more expensive than standalone routers, but they offer a high-performing network and may save you money on equipment rental fees in the long run.

MU-MIMO

MU-MIMO is one of the more essential features to consider when buying a router. It allows multiple devices to connect simultaneously, resulting in faster download speeds and fewer Wi-Fi problems. It also increases the range of your wireless signal, ensuring a strong and reliable connection throughout your home.

If your current router doesn't support MU-MIMO, it's worth upgrading to a model that does. However, you'll want to ensure that your devices are also MU-MIMO compatible. Otherwise, the technology won't be fully utilized.

Another feature to look for is link aggregation, which helps increase your network's overall speed. This technology works by connecting two gigabit Ethernet LAN ports on your router to create a single virtual port capable of handling up to 2Gbps of data. It's a great option to transfer large files, such as movies or music, over your network.

Finally, you'll want to ensure that the router you choose supports Quality of Service (QoS). This feature lets you prioritize different devices or activities, reducing the risk of choppy video calls during work meetings or lagging gaming sessions. This is especially useful if you live with roommates or other family members who use the internet regularly. You can also use QoS to prioritize specific applications or services.

Range

When choosing a router, consider how far you want it to reach your home. For better range, you can buy a mesh Wi-Fi system or a standalone router. Ideally, placing your router somewhere central in your house, such as the living room or kitchen, would be best. This will help prevent dead spots. Putting your router in a closet or other small area will only limit its coverage.

Most quality routers will indicate how much they can cover on the box. However, you should note that these numbers are often theoretical maximums or lab test results. Routers rarely, if ever, reach these speeds in real-life situations.

Many routers are dual-band, connecting to devices with two different frequencies. These frequencies are typically 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This can be enough for most people, but you should opt for a tri-band router if you have multiple devices that need high bandwidth. These routers provide an additional 5 GHz frequency for more devices to use simultaneously without impacting speed.

Other features that can improve your router’s performance include beamforming and QoS (quality of service). These technologies focus the router’s signals on individual devices, improving their connection to the router. This can be especially helpful when you have a lot of streaming or online gaming.

Accessing TikTok in Restricted Regions: In some countries or regions, TikTok may be restricted or completely blocked due to government regulations or censorship. With a VPN, you can bypass these restrictions by connecting to a server located in a country where TikTok is accessible. This allows you to enjoy the platform without limitations.

Bypassing Censorship: Even in regions where TikTok is available, certain content may be censored or restricted. By using a VPN, you can circumvent censorship measures and access the full range of content available on TikTok.

However, it's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider that prioritizes privacy and security. Look for a VPN with a strict no-logs policy, strong encryption protocols, and a wide range of server locations to ensure a reliable and secure connection.

Happy 65th Birthday Scottish Golfer Sandy Lyle born on  on February 9th 1958.

Born Shrewsbury, England but considered Scottish, Lyle was one of  Europe’s top golfers during the 1980s. He is one of the golfers credited with breaking American domination of golf on the world stage.

Lyle was introduced to golf as soon as he would walk. His father, Alex, was a teaching professional at Hawkstone Park GC and had his son playing with miniature clubs from the age of 3. Lyle had an outstanding amateur career culminating in victory in the English Amateur Stroke Play championship in 1975 and 1977. He also served on the Walker Cup squad twice.

He turned professional in 1977 and was nominated Rookie of the Year in his first full season a year later. His first professional victory was the 1978 Nigerian Open. As a player, Lyle is renowned for his cool temperament and focus. However, his form is not always consistent and tends to play either exceptionally well or exceptionally bad.

Lyle won his first Major, the Open, in 1985. Perhaps the highlight of his career was victory in the 1988 US Masters. He was the first non-American to win the event, a victory made sweeter because of the intense competition between America and Europe in all aspects of golf. Lyle has also played on 5 Ryder Cup squads and represented Scotland 3 times in the World Cup.

On a personal level, Lyle has an amiable character and is modest despite his success and stardom. He enjoys Chinese food and is somewhat of an expert. He is also a keen enthusiastic of motorbike scrambling. In 1989, Lyle’s form began to slump. His last victory was the Volvo Masters in 1992 and since then has quietly retired from the main tour.

On turning 50 in 2008 he played on the Champions Tour and the European Senior Tour winning his first tournament in 19 years when he captured his first European Senior Tour title at the 2011 ISPS Handa Senior World Championship, held in China.

Sandy was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in May 2012, he now lives in Scotland with his wife Jolande and children Lonneke and Quintin

In 2014 Sandy won the World Hickory Open Championship, an open tournament for amateur or professional hickory golfers. Hickory golf is a variation of golf played with hickory-shafted golf clubs.  Part of the attraction of playing with hickory clubs is that they reintroduce ‘feel’ to the golf shot. Proponents also claim that hickory golf allows golfers to play classic golf courses as they are meant to be played    “I’m delighted to have won my fourth Major,” joked Sandy afterwards.

As a former winner I would have thought Sandy would get an invite to play in majors, but not so, last year in the run up to the 150th Open at St Andrews he was forced to retire injured commenting;

“When you’re pushing on the age that I am now, injuries are always sort of around the corner and you’ve just got to be careful what you do.”

Lyle’s withdrawal came after just one hole of the second round – a double-bogey six at the first.

Earlier in 2022 Sandy became the first Scottish golfer to play in 100 majors, a remarkable feat in itself, although  Lyle was completely unaware that he created history. It came in his 41st appearance at Augusta National and the 1988 winner said after missing the cut for the eighth year in a row that next year will be his last.“I was not aware, no,” said Lyle when he was asked about his major milestone by The Scotsman after carding a second-round 76 for a 14-over total at the Georgia venue.

“No-one has ever mentioned it to me. Does that make me feel better? A little bit,” said the two-time major winner. “But I suppose that is pretty sporty and something I can tell my grandkids in years to come.” he added.

Sandy went on to say;

“I think probably next year might be the end of the Lyle attack on the golf course,I think my older son (Stuart) is coming out and a few of his buddies, and I think my younger son (James) is probably coming out, so we're going to be a full family, I think, so I think it will be the end of the day.

I think he will continue to play in invitations and the senior tour.

Raising Capital for WISPs and ISPs: Beyond Grants

Introduction

The world of wireless internet service providers (WISPs) and traditional internet service providers (ISPs) is both dynamic and competitive. To thrive and expand in this space, companies often need substantial capital investment. While grants can be a valuable source of funding, they are not always guaranteed. In this blog post, we will explore best practices and potential sources for raising capital for WISPs and ISPs beyond grants. From traditional financing options to innovative strategies, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive guide to help your internet business grow and succeed.

1. Equity Financing

One of the most common ways to raise capital for your WISP or ISP is through equity financing. This involves selling ownership shares (equity) of your company to investors in exchange for capital. Equity financing can be an effective way to secure the funds needed for network expansion, technology upgrades, and operational scaling.

Venture Capital (VC): VC firms are actively seeking opportunities in the telecommunications industry. To attract VC funding, your business should demonstrate strong growth potential, a clear market niche, and a solid business plan. Be prepared to offer equity in exchange for the capital infusion.

Angel Investors: Angel investors are individuals who provide capital to startups and small businesses. They often have industry expertise and can bring valuable insights in addition to funding. To attract angel investors, focus on building relationships within your industry and network, and craft a compelling pitch that highlights your business’s potential.

2. Debt Financing

Debt financing involves borrowing money that you will later repay with interest. This approach allows you to maintain full ownership of your business while obtaining the necessary capital. Here are some sources of debt financing:

Bank Loans: Traditional banks offer various types of loans, including term loans, lines of credit, and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. Interest rates and terms can vary, so shop around for the best deal. A strong business plan and a good credit history are often required to secure bank loans.

Private Lenders: Private lending institutions, including online lenders and peer-to-peer lending platforms, provide alternative financing options. These lenders may offer more flexible terms and faster approval processes than traditional banks. However, interest rates can be higher.

Bonds: Municipal bonds or revenue bonds can be an option for WISPs or ISPs that serve specific geographic regions. These bonds are typically used to fund infrastructure projects and can be an attractive choice for community-based internet providers.

3. Strategic Partnerships

Forming strategic partnerships can provide not only capital but also access to valuable resources and expertise. Consider these partnership options:

Infrastructure Sharing: Partnering with other WISPs or ISPs to share infrastructure costs can be a cost-effective way to expand your network. This collaboration can lead to a win-win situation, reducing capital requirements for both parties.

Telecom Equipment Manufacturers: Collaborate with telecom equipment manufacturers to obtain favorable terms on equipment purchases, financing, or even co-development of customized solutions. These partnerships can enhance your technological capabilities and competitiveness.

4. Crowdfunding and Community Investment

Crowdfunding platforms have gained popularity as an alternative way to raise capital. Crowdfunding allows you to secure funds from a broad audience, including individuals who believe in your mission. Consider these crowdfunding options:

Equity Crowdfunding: Platforms like SeedInvest and StartEngine enable you to offer equity in your company to a crowd of investors. This can be an effective way to raise capital while gaining support from your customer base.

Rewards-Based Crowdfunding: Platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo allow you to raise funds by offering backers rewards, such as early access to your services or branded merchandise. This can be particularly effective for WISPs and ISPs looking to fund specific projects or initiatives.

Community Investment: If your WISP or ISP serves a specific community, consider offering community members the opportunity to invest directly in your business. Community investment can foster strong customer loyalty and a sense of ownership among residents.

5. Strategic Grants and Subsidies

While this article focuses on capital sources beyond grants, it’s worth noting that some grants and subsidies specifically target the telecommunications industry. Look for grants that support rural broadband development, digital inclusion, or innovative technology projects. These grants can provide a significant financial boost while aligning with your business goals.

6. Revenue Generation and Retention Strategies

Increasing revenue and retaining existing customers can also free up capital for expansion. Implement the following strategies to maximize your income:

Upselling and Cross-Selling: Identify opportunities to offer additional services or upgraded packages to your existing customers. This can lead to increased monthly recurring revenue (MRR).

Customer Retention: Reducing churn and retaining customers for longer periods can boost your bottom line. Focus on providing exceptional customer service and addressing customer concerns promptly.

New Customer Acquisition: Invest in marketing and sales efforts to attract new customers to your network. Calculate the customer acquisition cost (CAC) and lifetime value (LTV) to ensure your efforts are cost-effective.

7. Government Programs and Subsidies

Government programs and subsidies, separate from traditional grants, can provide significant financial support to WISPs and ISPs. Explore programs such as:

Universal Service Fund (USF): In the United States, the USF is designed to promote universal access to telecommunications services, including broadband. Eligible companies can receive subsidies to expand and maintain their networks in underserved or rural areas.

Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF): The RDOF is a multi-billion-dollar program in the U.S. that supports the deployment of high-speed broadband to underserved and unserved rural areas. Participating in RDOF auctions can provide substantial funding opportunities.

Government Loans and Grants: Some governments offer low-interest loans or grants specifically tailored to broadband infrastructure development. Research the programs available in your region and consider applying.

Conclusion

Raising capital for WISPs and ISPs beyond grants is a multifaceted process that requires creativity, strategy, and persistence. While grants can be an excellent source of funding, don’t limit your options. Explore equity financing, debt financing, strategic partnerships, crowdfunding, and government programs to secure the capital needed for your business’s growth and success. Remember that a well-thought-out business plan and a clear vision for your company’s future are essential when seeking capital from any source. By diversifying your funding strategies and pursuing multiple avenues, you can strengthen your financial position and position your WISP or ISP for sustainable growth in the competitive telecommunications market.

How can I find the IP address of a device connected to my Netgear router?

Have you ever wanted to learn more about IP addresses? In this article, we'll discuss what an IP address is, and how to find the IP address of a device connected to your Netgear router.

What Is An IP Address?

An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet protocol for communication. It allows devices to communicate with each other and find each other on the network. Every device has a different IP address, and they are usually assigned by your ISP (internet service provider). You can think of an IP address like a phone number for your computer - it's how other devices on the internet know how to find and connect to it. You can find the IP address of any device connected to your router by logging into your router's web interface and looking at the list of connected devices. The IP address will be listed next to each device.

How to Find the IP Address Of A Device Connected To Your Router?

When it comes to finding the IP address of a device connected to your router, there are several methods you can use. Here is a list of them: Through the Router's Web Interface The easiest way to find the IP address of a device connected to your router is through the router's web interface. To identify the IP address of a device connected to your router: - Access the login page for your router. For NETGEAR routers, refer to the instructions on "How do I log in to my NETGEAR home router?" Note: If you do not have a NETGEAR router, consult your specific model's user manual or support page. - Locate the section of the router's web interface that displays connected devices.  - On NETGEAR routers, navigate to the "Attached Devices" page under the "BASIC" tab. Note: The menu label may vary on other models and be called "Device Manager" or similar.  - Each connected device will display information such as the device name and IP address. For further assistance, refer to your router's support page or contact NETGEAR Support. Using a Command Prompt (Windows) If you're using Windows, you can find your IP address by opening a command prompt and typing "ipconfig". Your IP address will be displayed next to the "IPv4 Address" field. Using Network Settings (MacOS/iOS) If you want to find the IP address of a device connected to your router, you can do so using the network settings on your Mac or iOS device. - Access System Preferences and select the Network option. - Select the location that corresponds to your current network setup (if you need help determining which one it is, look at the network icon in the menu bar). - Click on Advanced and then select the TCP/IP tab. - The IP address will be listed next to "Router". Using a Network Scanner A third way to find the IP address of a device connected to your router is by using a network scanner. Network scanners are software tools that scan your network and provide information about connected devices, including IP addresses. There are many different network scanners available, both paid and free. Some popular options include Fing and Advanced IP Scanner. Note: It's worth noting that some devices may have a dynamic IP address which can change over time.In conclusion, finding the IP address of a device connected to your router is a straightforward process that can be accomplished using various methods. Whether you choose to use the router's web interface, command prompt or terminal, or a network scanner, you should be able to quickly identify the IP address of the device you are trying to locate. Knowing the IP address of a device connected to your router can be helpful in a variety of situations, such as troubleshooting network issues or configuring security settings. With this knowledge, you can easily manage and maintain your home network.Reference form: https://mynetgearrouterlogin.com/find-the-ip-address-of-connected-device/ Read the full article
