Currently we do not have service in your area. I will definitely keep you in mind, as we are expanding our service areas rapidly. The more interest we have in your area the faster we will be able to get service out there, so tell your neighbors to express their interest as well and we look forward to serving you in the future.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Cordially, <BR/><BR/>Amber Husak<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>same response as nutel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25089246.post-1153777711950402882006-07-24T14:48:00.000-07:002006-07-24T14:48:00.000-07:00Aside from the obvious technical challenges of mak...Aside from the obvious technical challenges of making wireless broadband work reliably in the hilly terrain of these areas, NuTel's statement reflects a fatally flawed marketing strategy.<BR/><BR/>A provider of a leading edge service such as this cannot rely on a passive "marketing" strategy that requires customers to first request service before it's offered. Such a strategy is doomed to failure because most consumers don't even know about NuTel's wireless broadband service in the first place. How then can they be expected to request it?<BR/><BR/>NuTel's management needs a refresher course in Marketing 101.Fred Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352861125794506929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25089246.post-1153776707921716842006-07-24T14:31:00.000-07:002006-07-24T14:31:00.000-07:00Well i e-mailed nutel and asked about their plans ...Well i e-mailed nutel and asked about their plans for pollock pines. i got this response a week ago and after responding i haven't heard from them. It gives some hope. might be like AT&T promises though.<BR/>"<BR/><BR/>Hello<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking about our service. We are presently looking at the Apple Hill, Camino, and Pollock Pines markets. Obviously if we had significant requests for service from your area we would look into building out our network sooner. Where in town do you live? Would your neighbors be interested as well? We would definitely entertain a partnership up your way with a small communications type company or a satellite dealer.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Gary LaFrancis<BR/><BR/>NuTel Broadband Corporation<BR/><BR/>800-90-NUTEL<BR/><BR/>916-459-4350<BR/><BR/>"<BR/><BR/>interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
