I can't speak as a representative of Bluestar and any comments should be considered as only opinion.... They have contacted almost every tech company in our area about 'partnering' with them, kinda like LCT long distance or Amway, seems everyone you meet can sell DSL. The deal (as we understand it) is not so much wholesale but up front commission where bluestar owns the customer. Again, you would have to check on this. Also, since they can't actually deliver service in our area yet (as of last week, anyway), putting quotes in the hands of every business they can find doesn't make us very happy. Some of our hosting clients in the Jacksonville area (where service is offered) have been given a multitude of quotes, plans, reasons why the service they thought they could get is not available, delayed, etc.. Mabe this stuff is just too new, but confusion makes us uncomfortable. A better solution is to buy wholesale from Kovad, NorthPoint, or New Edge, or local Bell and drop in a DS3 ATM and set up your own circuits. Pretty sure these others have more capitol and longer legs than Bluestar. Again, just my opinion.

Nooooooooo, not bluestar!

Can you give details? Does bluestar allow other ISP's to resale their service? Sorry for the topic, I realize this isn't exactly usr-tc related, and if anyone has this info, I'd be glad to take it up off list. Brian
