SOME GOOD NEWS FOR COMPUTER USERS AT PELICAN POINTE II.
  THE WI-FI SYSTEM INSTALLED BY CLOUDNET ACCESS, LLC  BEGAN FUNCTIONING AS OF YESTERDAY. 


THERE WILL BE 12 MORE DAYS OF "FREE"    USAGE FOR OUR RESIDENTS (OWNERS AND RENTERS) AND THEIR GUESTS STARTING TOMORROW, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2011. LOOK FOR THE WI-FI SERVICE SIGNAL LABELED "PELICAN POINTE MAIN" AND CONNECT TO IT. DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CREDIT CARD SYMBOLS DURING THIS TRIAL PERIOD, THESE WILL COME INTO PLAY WHEN AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO UTILIZE THIS NEW FLEXIBLE INTERNET  SERVICE AFTER TRYING IT OUT FOR THE NEXT 12 DAYS. THE SITE OFFERS 24 HOURS THE FIRST TIME YOU SIGN ON, BUT THIS CAN BE DONE, FOR FREE, EACH DAY OF THE NEXT 12 DAYS THAT YOU WISH TO GO ONLINE. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR COMCAST CABLE TELEVISION WITH WHOM THE UMBRELLA BOARD IS NEGOTIATING FOR BETTER RATES THAN ARE BEING PROPOSED BY COMCAST,  THE BOARD IS USING A KNOWLEDGEABLE CONSULTANT TO AID IN FINDING A SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMCAST SHOULD THEIR NEGOTIATIONS NOT WORK OUT TO BE FAIR FOR OUR ASSOCIATIONS.

PLEASE REFER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SYSTEM TO PAUL GICOLA WHO HAS LED THE UMBRELLA ASSOCIATION'S DISCUSSIONS WITH CLOUDNET ACCESS, LLC. IF HE DOES NOT HAVE THE ANSWER, HE KNOWS WHO TO CONTACT AT CLOUDNET TO GET AN ANSWER. PLEASE REPORT ANY DIFFICULTY SUCH AS A WEAK SIGNAL IN PELICAN POINTE II'S PROPERTY SO THAT PAUL CAN NOTIFY THE ENGINEERS AT CLOUDNET OF THE LOCATIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO GET AN ADEQUATE SIGNAL.

FOR THOSE OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE COMPUTERS PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE NOT PAID OUT ANY MONEY FOR THIS EQUIPMENT OR ITS INSTALLATION; THIS HAS BEEN AN INVESTMENT BY CLOUDNET ACCESS, LLC TO ESTABLISH A LONG TERM BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT WITH THOSE COMPUTER USERS WHO DECIDE TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THIS WI-FI SERVICE IN THEIR CONDOS.
THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO GOING TO THE CLUBHOUSE TO USE THE SHORTER RANGE SYSTEM SET UP BY PELICAN POINTE II FOR MEMBERS OF ALL PELICAN POINTE ASSOCIATIONS TO USE.

LET US HOPE THAT THIS NEW WIDE RANGE WI-FI SYSTEM WILL WORK WELL, AS IF IT DOES WHAT IS ANTICIPATED, IT SHOULD ENHANCE THE VALUE OF OUR PROPERTIES AS ANOTHER SOUGHT AFTER AMENITY. (AS YOU NO DOUBT HAVE OBSERVED MOST HOTELS AND MOTELS AND EVEN MANY RESTAURANTS HAVE ADDED WI-FI SERVICE TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS,)
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, REGARDS, FRANK MARSHALL, "DER BLOGMEISTER"
