The problem is even as many folks on wireless as there are, we'd be a drop
in the bucket. We'd make our customers mad.
What we need is something of equal value (our livelyhood = ?) to folks in
office to take away from them.

The forbearance process, changeable at any time for any politically
expedient reason, scares me. It's 'executive authority' all over again
and makes a mockery of the rule of law and the democratic process.

But the only permanent part of this I see is being reclassified as a

is totally up to change, with very little upside and tons of downside. It
would be different if this was proposed legislation, it wouldn't be
changeable at the whim of future FCC commissioners.

Subject: [AFMUG] "Net neutrality"
I just ready yet another article on the so called "net neutrality" the
FCC will be voting on Feb 26th. This government overreach is going to
force me to have to register to collect taxes on all of my customers,
which I'll need to pay someone to do for me to make sure I stay in
compliance, which will require that I raise prices to cover my increased
costs.
It will also prevent me from being able to run any kind of QoS on my
network, so goodbye to any decent VoIP calls.
