      <![CDATA[So today I receive this intriguing email...<br />
<blockquote class="my-blockquote">Tom, please visit <a href="http://www.yourwifiinternet.com">www.yourwifiinternet.com</a>. New technology launching in days, not months. T1 speed portable wireless internet, up and down with no degradation of signal for $19.95 a month and VOip for additional $9.95 a month, router free. It will change the communications industry forever. $13 billion invested, about to go public, expecting 250 million customers first year and 150,000 employees. Coverage tested 65 miles from NOC through buildings and trees and 20 ft underground. ISP's will embrace the technology or disappear. Cable, DSL, satellite will be like vinyl records to an IPOD. Check it out. <a href="http://www.T3wirelessinternet.com">www.T3wirelessinternet.com</a></blockquote><br />
Wow, wireless T1 speed for $19.95, surely this is too good to be true. And expecting 250 million customers in the first year? Yeah right! Almost as big of a stretch as <a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/01/mccain_attacks_romney_on_iraq.html ">John McCain's claim that Mitt Romney wanted to withdraw our troops</a> from Iraq.<br />
<br />
In any event, the website lists the following accolades:<br />
<ul>
    <li><strong>Financial Backing</strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Investment capital was secured in 2003 with seven USA-based investment bankers. </li>
    <li><strong>Approved IPO</strong><em>&nbsp;</em>&ndash; In 2004 the USA Government and Securities Exchange Commission approved the IPO*. </li>
    <li><strong>Testing Successful</strong> - Testing of T1 mobile wireless Internet service (with 128-bit encryption) has been 100% successfully completed. </li>
    <li><strong>Developed soft and&nbsp;hardware</strong>&nbsp;- Very well known and highly respected wireless electronics company has developed and tested the chip. </li>
    <li><strong>Ahead of Competition</strong> - It is believed that competitors can't develop comparable technology without 3+years and billions in funding. </li>
    <li><strong>Rolling out SOON!</strong> - Service&nbsp;is scheduled to&nbsp;roll out in&nbsp;early 2008** </li>
    <li><strong>Blanket Coverage by 2008</strong> - By the end of 2008 the WiFi Corporation plans blanketed WiFi coverage of all Canada and USA. </li>
    <li><strong>Worldwide Coverage Coming</strong> - Within 12-months of North American opening, plans for worldwide WiFi service begin.</li>
    <li><strong>Easiest to set up</strong>&nbsp;&ndash; ability to broadcast the Internet connection signal via repeater towers from one central NOC (Network Operations Center).<strong> </strong></li>
    <li><strong>Requires far fewer towers&nbsp;&ndash; ability to broadcast signal&nbsp;to distances of 30-miles from tower without degradation.<strong> </strong></strong></li>
    <li><strong><strong>Best Coverage&nbsp;&ndash; due to ability to transmit signal through buildings, forests, and up to 20 feet underground.<strong> </strong></strong></strong></li>
    <li><strong><strong><strong>No Bottleneck&nbsp;&ndash; maintains at least&nbsp;a T1 connection both UP and DOWN without degradation&nbsp;<strong><font color="#ff0000">regardless of&nbsp;the amount of simultaneous users connecting.</font><font color="#ff0000"> </font></strong></strong></strong></strong></li>
    <li><strong>Most Secure&nbsp;</strong>&ndash;&nbsp;signal is secured&nbsp;with&nbsp;256-bit SSL encryption&nbsp;so no firewall hardware is required.<strong> </strong></li>
    <li><strong>Most for the money - </strong>T1 connection is projected to be only $19.95 per month. Business class up to T3 service will also be available. </li>
    <li><strong>Telephony</strong> - First class VOIP telephone service will also be offered for a fraction of the cost of competitors. Current projection is $9.95 per month. </li>
    <li><strong>Mobile</strong> - Oh yes, and did I say MOBILE!&nbsp; No dish required here. Imagine a <strong>mobile</strong> T1 connection.</li>
</ul>
$19.95 for a wireless T1 and even inexpensive T3 wireless speed available? Sounds like it could be WiMAX. Intrigued, I checked it out some more and discovered the following:<br />
<blockquote class="my-blockquote">In 2003 the initial funding was secured with $13,000,000,000 (13 billion) being pledged. In 2004 the IPO was&nbsp;approved by the Securities Exchange Commission.&nbsp; At this time the company is in the quiet period before going public and word has it that they plan to begin the roll out of the service in the first quarter of 2008. No questions can be answered regarding the IPO until the actual launch of the service.</blockquote><br />
$13 billion? Seems too good to be true. How can $13 billion be pledged and no one has heard of <a href="http://www.T3wirelessinternet.com">www.T3wirelessinternet.com</a>. There aren't even any <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.t3wirelessinternet.com%2F&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a">backlinks on Google to this website</a>. Something seems fishy in Denmark.<br />
<br />
So I read up some more...<br />
<blockquote class="my-blockquote">With opening as a publicly traded company, the ability to broadcast the Internet connection signal via repeater towers from one central NOC (Network Operations Center), broadcast to distances of 30-miles without degradation of the signal, transmit through buildings, forests, and up to 20 feet underground, maintain a T-1 connection both UP and DOWN without degradation from the amount of simultaneous users connecting, and having managed to secure the signal with better than 256-bit SSL encryption where no firewall hardware is required, we believe this WiFi Corp. will quickly become one of the fastest growing Corporations in the history of the Internet, and quite literally, will be able to make the statement;</blockquote><br />
Still not convinced, I decided to check out the YouTube video on their website:<br />
<object width="425" height="373">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Imyp53GWpU&amp;rel=1&amp;border=1" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed width="425" height="373" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Imyp53GWpU&amp;rel=1&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed></object> <br />
Watching this video and all the hyper claims of cheap wireless high-speed bandwidth, you'd think this company was the Second Coming of the Internet. But oh if it's true, Glory Glory! The video claims that the solution is WiFi and WiMAX on steroids. Ok, that's not telling me much.<br />
<br />
<img align="right" src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/images/itsyournet-logo.jpg" alt="ItsYourNet" /> The website certainly didn't seem like it had $13 billion invested into it - very amateurish, so I dug a little deeper and discovered it's actually an affiliate site for <a href="https://itsyournet.com/">ItsYourNet.com.</a> I check out ItsYourNet.com and their web design isn't much better. Once I saw the &quot;As Seen on TV&quot; logo, I lost respect for the site. It must be a gimmick was my immediate reaction. Still, I click the join now link just to see if they charge anything. It's free to join, but they offer a ton of affiliate-related services, including commissions for getting people to sign-up for their wireless T1 or T3, domain registrations, web hosting, VoIP, and a 3D reality thing.<br />
<br />
The site definitely is affiliate marketing driven, which makes me wonder if ItsYourNet is truly behind this &quot;supposed&quot; wireless T1/T3 Internet that can travel 65 miles or if there is yet another unknown company's technology that ItsYourNet is selling via affiliate. Sure enough, I read on their website, the following:<br />
<blockquote class="my-blockquote">ItsYourNet has aligned itself with a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) Internet Service Corporation.<br />
<br />
After more than five years of coding and field testing, this Corporation has developed a Wireless Internet technology so dynamic that we believe it is destined to become the sole surviving Internet Service Provider (ISP) worldwide.</blockquote><br />
Wow, the sole surviving ISP worldwide? Talk about hype. Regardless of their hyperbole, this is still very intriguing since they claim <strong>this year</strong> they will go live in Texas, California, and Washington state, as well as a nation-wide rollout planned. We'll know soon enough if this is hype or for real. So Texans, Californians, and Washington staters, let me know when you can get your inexpensive wireless T1/T3 access on. If it's true, it might be time to for all of us to trade in our slow-poke EVDO wireless cards. <img alt="" src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/mtstatic/FCKeditor/emoticons/wink_smile.gif" />]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Hi Tom, Clarification on T1-speed wireless internet for $19.95 a month or T3 speed for about $70-150 a month. Itsyournet is a marketing company with exclusive rights to market the wifi corp technology globally. They do not receive any of the $13 billion investment. Affiliates sign up free and forward and mask their site; i.e. www.t3wirelessinternet.com or www.yourwifiinternet.com. ISP's can't go direct to itsyournet. They must sign up through an affiliate. Affiliates make commissions and overrides on two tiers, not mlm or network marketing but close, a two tier direct sales program. Isp's will embrace the technology or have a very difficult time competing, probably disappear. An additional $9.95 a month for VOip, this will heavily impact the cellular industry. Everyone should know this by now. The total $29.95 per month is commissionable at $8.00 per month to affiliates which is huge if you are signing up ISP's with thousands of customers. The following weeks will prove to be very interesting, and lucrative for some of us. Go to www.yourwifiinternet.com and sign up free, no obligation. Then go to your back office to get more exclusive info.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I also stumbled across this group. It seems to me that if there are 7 companies pledging $13Billion you would at least know the name of the company by now.<br />
Clearwire has been up and running for almost 5 years now and just had their IPO released a year ago. They are a WIMAX isp the the signal is on the 2.5 and 2.6 GHZ spectrum. At best that signal will reach 10 miles but you will need to be within 5 miles for any kind of decent connection speed. Their WIMAX is only available in Portland OR, and that is a test market.<br />
I would love for this to be more than a scam, but if is seems to good to be true then it isn't true.<br />

        <![CDATA[<p>I would be a bit skeptical of this, however, the speeds do not mean that is the connection type. They can have speeds equal to the services, but that is probably where this service ends. </p>

<p>Remember, businesses that pay for T1 and T3 speeds are not <b>ONLY paying for speed</b>. They are paying for the <b>uptime</b> of the connectivity as well, and that is where the real pricing becomes involved in  a T1/T3 Internet solution. </p>
