Appraisal of usefulness of Bill Gurley’s market model in determining the ideal niche to pursue the organization goal.
Analyzing
Bill Gurley’s model in assessing the market proved quite useful for the FHP wireless. He identified the problem which was faced by the FHP wireless in generating the profit. Through his model he identified the group of the potential customers of the Wi-Fi, he identified customers from the demography, and after that he mapped the demand of existing Wi-Fi and drew another line to show that the level of the each customer would find in the FHP wireless mesh. In his model, he determined the number of the individual customers and the organization made a huge amount of consumers which having a Wi-Fi demand. However, due to the existing back haul capacity, he determined that the existing customers would least favor the wireless mesh network because they already possessed local wireless connection. The other end of spectrum in his model determined the areas that consisted of consumers who would find the FHP wireless product valuable and useful, but the demand of the product of FHP wireless at this end was absent at the same time. In the middle area of his model, he determined the group of potential customers who represented the demand of the wireless networking but the product was too expensive for them or finding the difficulty in the deployment of the product. The set of customers who represented the demand of the Wi-Fi are as follows;
Warehouses and Factories are the large area with the little demand of the computer users who require an access to the network. The structure of this type of building required the configuration which was very difficult to wire for the back haul access. The facility that could be offered to such customers by the FHP wireless is that they could deploy the wireless network cost effectively.

Through the wireless facility, this type of organization can easily reconfigure its gaming floors. Due to the structural configuration of the gaming industry, FHP wireless mesh would, therefore be much more compatible with the organization, and it would also allow the network of the organization to reimburse for interference dynamically and without adding additional network resources.
Another group of potential customers of the FHP wireless is the educational industry that are the first users of the wired computer networking, due to which they also determine the huge customers for the wireless networking.
