   You should incorporate when you make $1500 and/or when you need to start signing contracts. Why $1500? Stripe Atlas is $500 (comes with enough AWS credits to host your app for at least a year) and your increased accounting cost will

   When you go back, using Google Fi and hotspotting has been a fantastic experience.

   Having just been in Beijing and Shanghai for a significant period of time, I can say both of those cities are fairly modern with a flair of western living standards (aside from the fact that most people don't speak English). I can&#x2

   While it may be too late for the author, it's possible to port you Fi number out to a different carrier, like ATT / Verizon / Twilio as long as your account is still active. I also believe there is a 6 month hold period on t

   I've resorted to Baidu at the moment. Google maps in China is garbage. Hot steaming garbage.

   As an actual rural independent FTTH provider, I can say you're wrong. It's incredibly hard to go against the incumbent duopoly of cable/telco, and they will most certainly abuse their market power. Though in a sad way it wor

   I've spent the better part of my last few months in China, Beijing and Shanghai specifically. China just speed-ran the industrial revolution at 10x the size of the US and is about to surpass us in the next era of energy, renewable ene

    Sorry to not include those guys, I think there's a trucking logistics company over by there as well? And a GSK lab. And Lolo Peak Brewing.

    Yes. I'm just saying the state is big enough for body slamming journalists and naked bike riding.

    I agree that's a huge issue which is only slowly getting better. It's also rather normal for people to travel/work remote/move between the top cities. From Helena I drive to Missoula or Bozeman at least once a month to

    Usually if you don't be a dick (if you have one or not) nobody cares. Missoula would be the best town if you're looking for an inclusive city culturally. Our state pride is pretty big. https://www.bigskypride.com

    Oh yeah! Funny story -- when he was first starting they had to FedEx their videos to a friend because upload speeds were so bad. That, and a bunch of other stories, is what inspired me to start an ISP (and party like it's 1999).

    It really depends on how the infrastructure is built. For instance at our WISP we limit tower radius distance to 1 Mile. This allows us to push higher speeds and have lower latency. I do agree; many traditional WISPs try to maximize tower

    Per usual on ISP topics popping into hacker news, I implore anyone considering starting an ISP to jump into the ISPSchool Slack channel. PM me or send an email to staff@tsi.io and we will add you. TL;DNR Montana probably has faster interne

    I've reviewed all of those services and none of the pricing models are right for me. Based on the features I'd like to use, I'm bumped into a higher price bracket even though I'm only doing 3-4 contracts per month. At

    I've been wanting this product for 6 months, and didn't have the will to make something internally for our company. Great product, you've nailed my price point (small business), going to do the trial and see whats up.

    I wouldn't call it a business per-se. It seems about once every month or two I can organize a connection, but I have thought about making it a bit more commercial.
