John Reed, I own a WISP operation in Southern Illinois called Mt. Vernon. Net, Inc. http://www.mvn.net/. I just want to drop you a thank you note for your work that has helped build an industry in the United States. I worked with Marlon Schafer and hundreds of others to help create the WISPA trade association for the WISP industry. Marlon just shared with us how much your efforts have helped us to have the regulatory rules in place that helped us build an industry. I want to say thank you for your efforts at the FCC. My livelihood is directly related to the work you have done. I serve the broadband needs of a community college, a high school, the City of Mt. Vernon, Illinois and nearly 1000 rural businesses and residents. We built our network using equipment allowed under Part-15 rules that you helped create. This week we are launching our first WiMax network in 3650 MHz using our national license we received for $210 filing fee to the FCC. This is the next generation of what you started. If you are ever in Mt. Vernon, Illinois then let me know and I will buy you a meal and talk to you about what the American Dream is from the perspective you helped create. Thank you for helping me build my business and for WISPs to have an opportunity to be the true third pipe of bnroadband in the United States. Warmest regards, John Scrivner President - Mt. Vernon.
