WISPs only exist because of freedoms afforded by the 1996 act. Prior to that it would have been illegal to become a WISP. Regulatory reform made this business possible possible in the first place. That certainly was not a mini snickers. I tend to try to be optimistic as much as possible.

I usually believe what Chuck says :) Anyone else have any insight to anything we might "get" out of this, that might be good? More access to connect america funds? a more level playing field? Will cable companies now also be able to apply for those funds? Chuck (i think) said we'd probably get pole attachment rights. Yay....but we still have to pay for them i'm sure. do we now have to register with our state PUC? What might we "get" out of this, good? I know the afternoon here at wispamerica will be all about this stuff. and in the next week, maybe we'll get to read what they just passed......ugh.
