Hi Frank,

RCR News, 18 April rcrnews.com has a more complete story on BB2W.

Here is the unique part:
According to Paul Adams, co-founder and chief executive officer of BB2W, Airora is unique in that it can be provisioned in less than a day, a feat enabled by the core of BB2W’s technology—a back-office operations support system, designed and implemented in cooperation with PricewaterhouseCoopers. It incorporates a Web-based prequalification system that allows prospective customers and network service provider partners to determine Airora’s availability in a given area, sign customers up for service and view and manage accounts via the Web.

“We’re really trying to perfect the process and perfect the network,” said Adams. “We spent a lot of time and money on building the prequalification tool.”

Interested customers can call a toll-free number to find out if their home or office is within a BB2W service area. If the home or office is accessible, BB2W ships the customer a 3-by-4-inch wireless modem overnight, and upon completion of the software installation, which takes a few minutes, the user’s desktop or laptop computer is connected.

Logistics and enrollment - gotta have both.

Sharing 1.5Mbps in a one mile radius, unlimited use for $50 a month. Equipment is $99 for a one year committment.
