"Looks like Westell is finally selling their Webshare software:
WebShare™ Networking Software Application"


Great news jeremic,
Thanks for pointing that out. It was said at the last CC that this would be available in Sept. I did expect a news release but I didn't see any. Maybe there will be one coming. I think this will be significant. It's high margin and something that is becoming more and more important as bandwidth comes into the house or small office.

Now that I have Road Runner which does not have this feature, I see how significant it can be. Here in Staten Island Road Runner will only hook you up to one device and makes you network everything yourself. They then charge you $5 per extra internet portal.

All the best,
Michael

jeremic,
Re.:"...Webshare software..."
Great news! This is the type of products I was waiting to see from WSTL - networking, voice, video, etc. This is a strategy to capitalize on a commodity business like modems. WSTL external modem box is a piece of "real estate" (CPE) on a PC. WSTL can "push" or sell software and hardware innovations directly to users. WSTL will have a large installation base to work with.
