Default SNF WiFi

Well all, I usually just lurk, but since I'm a pilot/owner, information
systems guy and I work for Interstate Telecommunications, Inc. the supplier
for the WiFi at Sun and Fun, I think I'll get involved in this thread. So
here's some scoop. Nothing official here, just speaking as a pilot that may
know a little more then someone else on the subject....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st. The fiber has just been installed. Speed about 15MPS, which is about
12 T1's. That's a lot of bandwidth, we're talking a big, big pipe.

2nd. It will not be free, neither will it be anywhere near as costly as I
was told it was as OSH last year. (I was told $400 per person) .
Rates are $7.95 per day or $39.95 from 4/4/06 to 4/10/06 or $59.95 from
3/20/06 to 4/15/06. I figure the last rate would be better for the campers.
Please call (877) 578-3534 now and don't wait for the last minute, if you
would be so kind.

3rd. No company is going to provide this service at a loss.. Please take
your laptop and purchase the service even if it's just for a day or two.
(You know you have to check that e-mail!) You could imagine it takes quite
an investment for any company to provide a service like this.

4th. No promises regarding OSH. Let us wrestle one monster at a time, O.K.

5th. Hope to see you there (and online to boot) LOL
