I think that’s my biggest issue here also. Trying to be as unbiased in the matter as possible, the biggest issue I have is that they brought a Dist. and WISP into the lawsuit. I think if this was filed solely against Cambium, everyone would have gone, ‘oh, that’s interesting, wonder what’s going to happen.’ The second they included a Dist. and WISP, I have to think every decent minded WISP and Dist. out there is going, ‘Wait, they sued for that? I don’t think I want to associate to these people anymore because I don’t want to be next.’ I could be wrong, but I feel for the WISP especially in this case. I think to speak more to the call to WISPA to take action, my view is this. If I’m a WISP, and I join WISPA to better the community, a key component is I’m going to share my experience and expertise on certain things. It’s my understanding, that’s ALL this WISP did. They tried the product out, reported back to the company that sold it to them on how it performed, and then it was published. So for another company to come along and say, ‘Wait, you can’t use that product and you certainly can’t promote the use of that product’, seems to me is the EXACT opposite of what WISPA is about. It’s a VERY slippery slope they’ve opened up here. I’m sure the WISP involved isn’t going to publically participate in any more studies or open BETA programs. So you have to ask, what if people highly trust this WISP, what if a few other highly trusted WISP’s get the same treatment and shut down their open sharing of experience. Is our industry growing now? Is it benefiting from this? Just my opinion, but THAT’S to me, the biggest issue here.

If ubiquiti want to go after cambium for copyright infringement then by all means go for it. But don’t drag Blip into conspiracy charges. It would seem WISPA could be a co-conspirator too On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 5:41 PM Mark Radabaugh <[email protected]> wrote: That’s where I’m curious about the copyright and hacking claims.
