Can a Small ISP Afford Professional Fiber Mapping - The Brothers WISP 197

About this episode

What do you do when you want to bring internet to the middle of nowhere, and the only fiber mapping software on the market wants $50,000 just to train one person? If you're Glenn Wilson, you write your own. On this episode of The Brothers WISP, Greg is joined by Justin Miller, Tommy, and first-time guest Glenn, a chip-level programmer who built ISPs in Colorado and Michigan before turning his hard-won lessons into MapIt Right. Along the way the crew swaps stories about crowdfunding fiber, 25 gig optics and tiny solar-powered sites, the scrappy never-accept-failure spirit of the folks who build these networks, and the not-so-quiet war ISPs fight every day against DDoS attacks and zero-days.
