RE: Is hotspot going to replace PPPoE

I'm not saying it can't replace PPPoE. I'm saying prove it. Answer the questions I've asked, over and over and over. As for good comments it's only been you and I commenting on it so I'll take that as a compliment. I'll believe you when you can back up your statements. I consult to 130 ISPs in Canada so if you can back it up it would probably be very profitable for you.

That telephone companies and others are using hotspot technology instead of
PPPoE is REALITY, not a theory that I have to backup. MikroTik RouterOS

offers both a PPPoE server and HOTSPOT technology, so I can says that whatever technology is used, we offer it. Your first comment to my email
about comparing the price of our router -- brought the comment from you that we would next be "trashing the competition" -- now you say "pushing

another product." I think you are assuming too much -- and making strong
comments as if what you assume is true. It is better to discuss objective
facts likes prices and features and benefits -- not assume who has what motive.

The point that I wanted to start on this thread is that hotspot vs. pppoe
is an important discussion -- and so far, we have some good comments.
