What happened to your internet [community internet X 09163187253][winwin's internet services]?

long but good story

in three words: AUP acquired it.

in one paragraph: AUP bought it for [beep hehe] pesos with one year warranty on all electronics and a single-right-to-use the ISP software system i made. i then operated it for some months with all income directed to AUP and later merged it with the AUP Internet Services wired network.

put it in an enumerated longer story:
1)i experimented with overlengthed networking cables [1997]
1.2)computed internet services as not feasible[1998] in aup residential.
2)experimented with wifi [2001]. spent a lot. bleeding edge technology is expensive.
3)got SmartWIFI[SmartBro later] subscription [Oct 2005]
4)started sharing with housemates, to stop them from queueuing on my computer to check email.
5)started sharing free wifi to everyone in front of my apt. [2 months]
6)discovered that if it was free for all, the speed would be very slow, unusably slow
7)looked for ways to manage the sharing
8)experimented on collecting fees to refund hardware bought, computed fees at 300/month with breakeven at the end of warranty dates.
9)raised fees to 500/month as to accelerate equipment acquisitions and network expansion
10)disclosed network activity to AUP HR, stating that the technology is new and i couldn't give a sensible proposal because it was just my experiment, and that i would go on and capture as much clients and later turn-over everything [including expenses] to AUP when the technology is established and the business is sure and when the school is ready for it.
11)learned a lot in dealing with clients
12)got to know a lot of people, mostly all of the students who have laptops and pcs
13)collection and billing became a problem that couldn't be solved with monowall or mac filters
14)experimenting with monowal, nocat, pfsense, etc... and not getting the functionality i needed
15)developed my own ISP software with features
> 1. want to limit bandwidth for each IP, 2.detect mac address changes, 3. try to detect browser changes, 4. try to
> detect reinstalls, 5. limit number or connetions per ip, 6. try to hide
> clients from each other, 7. show everyone a welcome screen / login screen
> (captive portal) if they're not logged-in, 8. give people logins, 9. give
> clients access from this date to this date with associated load
> amount, 10. assign bandwidth depending on the type of load, 11. have a list of
> people who have load, 12. list of people who don't have load, 13. list of
> people sorted of total paid load, 13. optionally prevent accounts from
> being used in more than one computer, 14. aggregate bandwidth from
> multiple internet connetions, 15. scripts and circuitry to powercycle your
> hubs/switches/APs/routers when you can't ping some host, 16. make
> bandwidth from google faster than the rest, 17. config squid to double
> browsing throughput, 18. make some IP ports slow and some fast

16) then aup writes me a letter to stop, i write a letter back explaining
17) i get another letter to stop
18) i stop collecting on Jan 16, 2007. accounts that had load just remained working until their load expired.
18.5) got idea (from President) that school will use my equipment, and inquiry on the price
19) submit a proposal for the "transfer to aup"
20) proposal yes'ed by internet and website committee [led by sir balbuena, members sir bosito, me, sir shem pasamba, sir sonny batocabe, sir johny guyo]
21) wait wait wait, lost hope, just forgot all about it
22) sir balbuena comes to aolis and ask for discount, i remove some equipment in the list (the ladder, the ups) and lower the price. (it is their job to ask for discount)
23) gets aproval. i tell them i can't turn over unless i'm sure of payment, they say hehehe ok. because most of what i'm selling is intellectual property, and if you show IP, then you're not selling anything anymore.
24) they give me a check for half [april 26, 2007] i resume collecting but give all collection to cashier.
25) redirect all collection to cashier, loading accounts from receipts
26) connect to AUP residential network
27) terminate smartbro connection [may 11, 2007]
28) check for other half of came about june 2007

notes:
a)AUP's actions towards us on this case was of linience, overlooking our offenses, delaying action, pretending they didn't know, verifying firsthand, and in the end very accomodating, absolutely redemptive, and fair. in this issue, i saw God in them (Pastor Saban, Sir Borromeo, Sir Balbuena, Sir Bosito, Adcom).
b)other people operating internet shops were asked to transfer to the dormitories and pay rent [this is to give opportunity to spouses of workers who were not employed]
c)money is temporary, it's the experience
