Re: [Indiana] Meeting
This is what one of the Indy Hospitals put out. FYI. Coworker exposed to patient confirmed with COVID-19 Any coworker not in protective gear who was exposed to a COVID-19 confirmed patient in a low-risk encounter may return to work if they have no symptoms and would wear a face mask for the duration of at minimum 14 days post-exposure as they perform their daily job duties. Those coworkers who had high-risk exposures to COVID-19 patients that includes direct contact, prolonged exposure >30 minutes within a 6-foot radius, and or other procedures that may have exposed them to bodily fluids or aerosolized particles, may be allowed back to work if free of symptoms and/or have a negative COVID-19 test as an alternative to 14-day home quarantine. Again, in this case these coworkers would be required to wear a face mask for at least the following 14 days as they performed their daily duties. In both cases these coworkers would be required to self-report any symptoms for fever, cough, shortness of breath, GI symptoms or anything out of the ordinary before they report to work. The presence of symptoms would require the coworker to begin a home quarantine and further COVID-19 testing and at a minimum they would be required to stay home until symptoms improved and fever free (without antipyretics: fever-reducing medicine) for 72 hours and post-initial symptoms by at least seven days, or without fever (without antipyretics) and absent or improved symptoms for 24 hours and then have two negative COVID-19 test 24-hours apart. In addition to the self-reporting of symptoms, those coworkers with high-risk exposures need to have their temperature checked by a supervisor or coworker prior to the start of their shift and not have a fever. If fever is present, those coworkers will get COVID-19 tested and would be sent to home quarantine. Return to work would follow same criteria as above.

We will be asking the State for an essential company as to what is necessary for PPE, and good guidelines. Any delivery company would also fall under these guidelines. No one is wanting to publish standards unless blessed by the State because it exposes them to liability if someone gets sick. Today's call to the LG and Scott Rudd, they are saying that it is a business decision as to how you protect your employees because you are an essential business. Please follow all guidelines that are published... as to what that means, they asked the group if anyone would share their protocols and/or policies, and the only person that said anything was from the cable industry and their response was it is highly classified, but they will try and share some things... but for the most part, it was silent.

Re: [Indiana] Meeting
Folks, You all know how much I hate tax money being given out to support and build broadband related networks. However, these are unusual times, so we can save that debate for another day. I don't like sharing emails I send out because I have seen my stuff 'borrowed' without permission lately. Today, you all have my permission. This is how we are handling it. You may be doing something similar. Until the end of May, the following will be put in place for our billing and collection procedures: 1. The due date of the first (1st) of each month will remain. 2. No late fee will be charged if you miss your payment on the first (1st). 3. No disconnects will occur until the end of May. We are keeping the service on. 4. Any missed payments or payments due will still be owed and not written off. * Any unpaid balance by the 10th (our normal grace period) could result in a temporary reduction in bandwidth to 3 Mbps until paid current. 5. Customers who cannot afford to pay for their account or no longer have household income can: * Reduce the monthly payment by speaking with our office to find a solution. * Receive a temporary free account of 3 Mbps for basic email, searching, social media, etc. Streaming services will be restricted. * Suspend the account short-term if needed. 6. Prepaid monthly discounts are available if needed. We continue to offer Credit Card Auto Payments, Online Payments including ACH, Checks and Cash None of us have been put into this situation before so the collaboration is good.

From: indiana-boun...@wispa.org On Behalf Of Eric Rogers Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2020 8:16 AM To: indiana@wispa.org Subject: Re: [Indiana] Meeting So there is no official response, but the NCTA is suggesting the following: Here is the info on NTCA's phase 3 stimulus proposal for keeping consumers connected to broadband... As Congress considers various measures to help our nation manage through the COVID-19 pandemic and to help stabilize our economy, attached is an NTCA proposal for your consideration to help ensure that every American maintains access to essential broadband and voice services. The FCC's "Keep Americans Connected" pledge has been signed by hundreds of broadband providers - many of which are NTCA members - committed to helping customers under economic distress remain connected to broadband and voice services over the next 60 days. However, concerns persist that many customers could lose the ability to pay for voice and broadband at a time when they need these services most to work and learn from home. Therefore, NTCA has drafted the attached proposal to avoid the prospect of smaller broadband providers being unable to sustain the commitment to keep every customer connected in the event of prolonged and significant economic distress caused by the pandemic. Under the Critical Connectivity Continuity (CCC) Program, a small business broadband provider could seek recovery from the CCC fund for broadband services, but only to the extent that: a.a customer failed to make payment in full for his or her broadband service during the pandemic; or b.the small business broadband provider initiated a program to provide customers with free or discounted broadband services (or upgraded services) during the pandemic due specifically to the presence of a student in the household in need of distance learning capability I am not really sure how I feel about government funds, as we have always tried to keep our hand out of the cookie jar, because government money seems to have strings attached. Once we take from the CCC, I have a feeling that we will then need to contribute to the CCC going forward. Just my initial thought.

The Governor today announced that internet and telephone service cannot be shut off for non-payment at least until May and possibly beyond if the emergency is extended. Comcast and AT can survive something like this. Companies like ours will have a much harder time.

Re: [Indiana] Eiwifi
Here are some pieces from our last email. We have sent two system wide emails in the past ten days: Installs, Alignments and other Service Calls: As always, outages and alignments have our highest priority. This policy will continue. New customer installations and upgrades will now be given high priority as well to accommodate the demand of customers having to work from home. Minor items like firmware upgrades, trenching, relocates, minor speed problems, drone flights etc. will all be put on lower priority. Please understand that we need to use our manpower to help those who are being forced to work from home and need emergency upgrades and installs. Obviously, we will work through any outages that arise but it’s critical we focus on the immediate demands that are occurring. Employee and Customer Interactions: Please help us maintain a safe working environment during these difficult times. 1. Installers/Service Techs will ask if you have anyone sick at home or the office. If there is, we would need for you to reschedule immediately. 2. Installers/Service Techs will wear boot covers, gloves and a basic mask ONLY if you ask for them to do so while working inside the home. We commonly try to wear boot covers when inside if possible. Please note, stocking these items may become difficult at times. 3. We ask you always respect the installers/Service techs space by 3 feet. 4. At no charge to the customer, if the installer feels any medical potential of infection, they have the right to suspend the installation and force it to be rescheduled later. 5. Our employees are asked to call in and stay home if they have any illness beyond allergies. As a result, this could cause a reduction in staffing. 6. Our goal is to protect you the customer, our employees and the community we work in. Please work with us under these stressful and difficult times. We understand the internet is like a utility and needs be working 24/7. 7. It is our policy for Installers/Service Techs to call before coming. Under no circumstances will they be allowed to work without the homeowner’s permission. Our office operating hours will not change. Some employees may work during the weekends to expedite service work and installs if approved or if a customer pays for an emergency fee for such. Other actions: We have suspended any hardware upgrade fees if the customer needs to increase speeds short or long term. ICI is eating this cost completely for the next 30 days. We have suspended disconnects for 30 days. We have NOT lowered prices or given special discounts. This is still being discussed. We are going to make an aggressive installation offer that will be valid for 2 weeks.

Things are moving forward in the broadband grant program. The Telcos are against the REMC's getting any money. I don't think anyone is really against the WISPS. After meeting with the LG and some of her staff and meeting with OCRA I think the main thing we need to push for is to renew an Indiana Broadband map as part of the Indiana GIS that all counties subscribe to. It would be another layer accessible to the public wanting to know what broadband is available in an area. It would be just like the GIS online property assessment data layer. The plan was to use the FCC 477 data which would be old data by the time they get it AND the data is misleading and not granular enough for seeing where and what speed is available. Speaking with the LG and staff as well as Scott Rudd from OCRA, they are now talking about a GIS Map but budget concern is the issue. (Drop in the bucket compared to what is going to be given out.) If the map is done correctly, it would be a valuable tool for the IEDC when promoting to companies to move to Indiana. Everyone would benefit including Indiana Wisps. If you have any contacts with the Legislature and especially the LG's office and OCRA, now is the time to urge them to bring back the broadband map that we used to have before they quit funding it. Perhaps there should be a buy-in to be included in the coverage. If everyone is listed it will prevent the overbuild and ensure better use of the Grant program. Now is the time! Good luck!

Re: [Indiana] Indiana Digest, Vol 71, Issue 3
Brian, For CAF Phase 1 you are correct. 477 is pointless (my words) if you don’t provide voice. Steve Coran said we could be overbuilt in that circumstance. It doesn’t mean you have to sell it to them as you posted. It just needs to be made available for purchase. For CAF Phase 2 I don’t recall but I thought the voice requirement was removed. I may be wrong. Maybe Steve can jump in? I DO and will continue to disagree with the use of 477 data. I literally had a congressman in my office a couple weeks ago admit the FCC is handing money out based on worthless and inaccurate data. If they were operating on real time data being turned in monthly that would be a game changer. As far as the money Indiana is handing out (not caf 2), I feel like the state using the federal maps is an absolute joke and reminds me of the old saying “the blind leading the blind”. The state needs to stop immediately and fund the Indiana broadband map again. Indiana did it right when it was funded and Amanda had us all getting her data. If not she was calling you. I think some WISPs based CAF2 deployments on favorable 3.65 decisions. Steve May be able to say if funding can be used to bid on spectrum in the future auction. I for one have seen tons of competition move in based on tax money being handed out. It has had zero affect on our growth or deployment plans. In terms of the second item Justin mentioned I haven’t heard anything like that yet but it wouldn’t surprise me. If a winner is suddenly telling other WISPs, businesses or future customers they are the only option or now have rights to access certain things or to get the hell out altogether (Basically being a bully)... I would be curious to know who is doing this. Those are very dangerous claims to make that could result in legal action or having funding removed.

So, even if you're reporting broadband coverage, unless you offer voice, CAF may provide funding to your area. I believe OOMA and some of the other VOIP services helps you to check the box that voice is available if you don't want to figure out how to do it on your own. I don't know that you necessarily have to have any customers using voice, so you can be "comparably priced" to urban areas, but not necessarily cheap or actively trying to market to customers.

I saw Patrick was released. Seemed odd to me. He sure was helpful with CBRS and very active on promoting the company. That all just died off. Hopefully they are wise enough to keep Rick.

I know we have Alabama for the WISPA spring show coming up. I was wondering who would be interested in getting together for our group. There are a couple of things going on that might be of interest. We are trying to get some interest going for an Indiana network operators group. This is similar to the http://chinog.org/ group. They have really grown into a good group for the techies among us. Several of us would like to bring a similar setup to Indianapolis. This way we can expand our group to some of the other non-wisp operators too. As I sit here I was thinking we might be able to have a one day get together. Maybe we have an Indiana WISP meeting first thing in the morning from say 8-10. Then we can have an agenda that is half business and half technical for the rest of the day. Cost wise It would be a very small fee just to cover meeting room, if any cost at all. Thoughts? Volunteers? Ideas?

Gov. Hey guys- Amanda O’Daniel reached out to me about a meeting with the Lt. Governor. She wanted to know who our WISPA leader is in the state. Below is my response. Toss your ideas and thoughts out. Probably need a single point of contact we all agree on so we can find out what is needed. Sounds like the state is wanting to work with us. When Rick Harnish was the WISPA director, he put together a few meetings. Now that leadership has changed at WISPA, the local WISPs seem to be in charge of putting something together on our own. We really haven’t had much of a meeting since the last time we all got together to talk about mapping. ( you included ). I can’t recall, but Eric may have put that together. I know Steve Barnes, Eric Rogers, Scott LePere, Justin Wilson, Scott Reed, Brian Gray, Don Renner and myself all chat or see each other on a fairly regular basis. There are others here in the state but I would say any of those mentioned above would be happy to sit down and chat. Let me reach out to the group. I would venture Steve Barnes would be a good initial contact since he sat on the board last. I wouldn’t count Rick out either but he doesn’t work for WISPA. I’ll circle back soon!

Re: [Indiana] Nashville Area
Don't even start. I have been trying to deal with them for the past 6 months. That's all they want down there is fiber... and 15Million is NOT going to hit every home. They are smoking some good weed. Some other wireless company pulled off the wireless towers and pissed them off I think.

This expansion will allow telecom and infrastructure providers to take advantage of our open access model, making it easy for wireless and other providers to enter new urban and rural markets in Indiana. We have strong relationships with WISPs where our network is already established and provide them with reliable, established backhaul in order to further expand their network and service additional customers. We intend to do the same in Indiana. Kyle Quillen, Agile Networks Founder and CTO, will be attending WISPAPALOOZA in Las Vegas, NV and he would like to meet with you if you are attending that event. While meeting, Kyle can provide an overview of the agreement, what it means to the WISP community, and how Agile can partner with you. We are currently setting up meeting times for October 10 from 3:00p to 5:00p and October 11 from 9:00a to 1:00p. If you would like to sit down and meet one-on-one with Kyle, please respond with a time that works for you that falls within that timeframe. If neither timeframe works, don’t hesitate to propose another time and Kyle will see if he can make it work for his schedule. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are excited to partner with you!
