Ushauri: Nataka kuanzisha biashara ya Wifi hotspot

[magnifico]

Habari zenu wakubwa. Nina imani humu ndani kuna watu wana uzoefu na mada tajwa hapo juu. Kuna eneo nimekua nalifanyia utafiti kwa muda mrefu hapa Songea na kugundua kuwa wakazi wa hapa wamekua wakihitaji internet yenye kasi. Hilo eneo huwa inapatika EDGE muda wote.

Sasa nilikua naombeni ushauri maana mi si mzoefu sana na hii biashara, nizingatie vitu gani kwenye hii biashara?

SHUKRANI.

Kabla hujafanya hivyo nakushauri ufanye research kuhusu competitors, maana kuna kampuni kama rahaSpot inakuja kwa kasi na wanatumia fiber halafu ni bure kwa maofisi, wanatoa 2GB kwa mwezi

Jiulize vitu hivi kwa uchache.:

1.Plan ya bussiness unawalenga wakina nani, wanafunzi, wakazi ama nani.?

2. Unataka usambaze WiFi kwa ajili ya matumizi gani. Downloading sana, Surfing, sana nk. (Hii itategemea aina ya wateja wako).

3. Hiyo WiFi unataka iwe inacover radius range kiasi gani.

4. Utawachaji vipi wateja/Billing. Na matarajio ya mwanzo unategemea kutakuwa na wateja wangapi..

5. Utaitambulisha vipi hiyo hotspot katika jamii ili iielewe /Marketing (Maana kufunga ni one thing, ila kuiuza is another. Kama biashara haiuziki, hakika biashara hiyo itafungwa within a short time).

6. ISP wako atakuwa nani, hapa nazungumzia ni nani atakuletea connectivity mpaka hapo wewe ulipo.? Hapa maISP ambao wanaenda remote wapo wengi, almost mitandao yote ya simu wanauza data. Preferable Airtel as ndio imesambaa kote. Otherwise unaweza tumia VSAT.

7. 24/7 support kwa wateja.

8. Kuna issue za Liscence toka TCRA, huwezi rusha mawimbi hewani kwa umbali mkubwa pasipo hawa jamaa kujua. Even ukitumia unliscenced bands kuna haja ya TCRA kujua.

9. Inshort hapa ni full bussines plan. Na hii biashara inatakiwa uwe patient sana mpaka uje kurudisha pesa.

1.Walengwa wakuu hapa ni wanafunzi.

2.Hapa matumizi yao makubwa ni kudownload na kusurf japo sio kwa sana!

3.Kiujumla sijajua bado vipimo ila ni kama eneo la nusu robo kilometa hivi.

4.Niliona niwe nawachaji kwa kutumia M-pesa na Tigo Pesa kwa kuanzia. Na nilitegemea kuanza na watu kama 50 hivi. Ila unaweza ukanishauri hapo.

5.Hapo sina ujuzi napo, ila nina rafiki zangu wao wapo vizuri kwenye mambo ya Marketing naweza kuwashirikisha.

6.Nilipenda zaidi nifanye kazi na TTCL kwa kuwa kwenye eneo lile wao ndo wapo vizuri. AIRTEL huwa inasumbua huku Songea huwa inasumbua, kuna muda huwa inakata hadi wiki nzima.

7.Naweza nikaface challenges hapo kwa siku za mwanzoni, ila nitajitahid kwenda nayo sawa kwa siku za mbele.

8.Baada ya majaribio yote kwenda vizuri.Nitafuata sheria zote kama zinavyosema.

9.Ni kweli na sina haraka na kurudisha pesa mapema, ukiachana na kuifanya kama biashara pia ni hobby yangu.

SHUKRANI.

I might have a different approach. U might like it or not, but here it is. I'd forego the idea of hotspots. I'd join forces with TTCL, and create a pilot program of long range routers. Radius of about 1-5 km(estimation) have about 10 of the routers installed. In a gathering area, school community, shopping strips, restaurants etc. Then u bill from the login page. Yes I think Mpesa and Tigo pesa are a good way(I'm not in TZ but I'd like to believe those are the leading options). Less micromanaging on this program. You have TTCL as ur ISP which if I'm not wrong, have a direct T1 access to fiber optics. Then find a company to supply the routers. I'd look to pitch Motorola or Netgear. Then create the software. That's it. U don't need to advertise it, don't need market research. Just offer better speeds, affordable pricing and the BEST customer service anyone has ever experienced. They will come. Later on, u can push for ur own E-payment system. Cut the middle man (Mpesa etc). Consumers love options, give them what they aren't getting.

P.S if u can offer speeds of 3Mps Down and 5Mpbs uploads. That's great.

1.Walengwa wakuu hapa ni wanafunzi.

Kaka ni idea nzuri lakini mlengwa wako akiwa mwanafunzi ambaye anatumia mobile data toka kampuni za simu ambazo zimeji establish hutopata wateja wa kutosha...

Ni kweli kaka ila eneo hilh ninalotaka kuinvest inashika EDGE tu kwa hiyo wanafunzi wanalalamika speed hamna kabisa.
