Schafer (509) 982-2181 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 11:58 AM To: Ellen Burton Subject: Form 477 questions Hi Ellen, It seems my post has sparked a bit of a firestorm amongst our more conspiracy minded within the WISP industry. Can we please get a few questions answered? (1) What is the penalty for not filing? ANSWER: This is addressed by #20 of the Form 477 FAQs posted at www.fcc.gov/broadband/broadband_data_faq.html. Entities that are required to file Form 477 but fail to do so may be subject to the enforcement provisions of the Communications Act and any other applicable law. In particular, the Commission has authority pursuant to sections 502 and 503 of the Communications Act to enforce compliance by fine or forfeiture. The standard legal language for Federal government data collections appears in Section VII (Disclosure, Privacy Act, Paperwork Reduction Act Notice) at the end of the Form 477 detailed reporting instructions, which is the pdf file posted at the Instructions link at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html#477. (2) Is our data secure or can our competitors find out private business info by requesting info from the form? ANSWER: It is the FCC's policy to include in its published reports only aggregated information (e.g., by state, by technology groupings) that hides the subscribers/broadband connections information of individual Form 477 filers. (All the Form 477-based information that the FCC has released to the public is posted at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html or has been included in the FCC's periodic broadband deployment reports to Congress that are posted at www.fcc.gov/broadband/706.html) Form 477 filers may request confidential treatment for competitively sensitive information by using a drop-down list on the first page (Question 8 in the Cover Page section) of the form. There are two choices in the drop-down list: All data in this report may be made public and Filer certifies that some data in this report is privileged and confidential. (Filers who can't use Excel will not be able to use the drop-down list and will have to type in one of these responses.) If a Form 477 has Filer certifies that some data in this report is privileged and confidential in Question 8 of the Cover Page section and the FCC receives a request for the data under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the filer will be notified, will receive a copy of the FOIA request for the data, will have the opportunity to explain why the information that has been requested is privileged and confidential (e.g., that it is confidential commercial information that the filer does not customarily disclose to the public and whose release would likely cause competitive injury to the filer) and, in general, will have all the procedural protections that apply under the FOIA law, including rights to appeal any FCC decision to release data. (3) How will the data collected in the form be used (ie: justification for more spectrum or more taxes or both, something else?)? ANSWER: FCC Form 477 exists because Congress, in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, told the FCC to determine whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion, and the FCC decided that it needed to collect information about what it calls broadband connections in order to do that. Congress told the FCC to proceed without regard to any transmission media or technology. Initially Form 477 had a mandatory-reporting threshold of 250 broadband connections in a state, which effectively exempted many WISPs, but there is no longer any size-based exemption. The Commission made this change to get better information about broadband in rural, sparsely populated areas. In the section of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 just mentioned (which is section 706),

Thats the first mistake of the gear. It should take advantage of 5.3Ghz and 5.4Ghz, for creating its backhauls. Using 5.8Ghz for short range backhauls, just means that they plan to go head to head against Super Cell providers. Sounds like an Interference battle to me. I wonder why so many people never listen to the quote I took the road less travelled, and it made all the difference, Robert Frost. 5.8Ghz is best for Sector deployments that really need the higher power to blast through obstructions or long haul. So why pick the spectrum most in demand by everyone else? Unless of course the idea was to deploy sector super cell designs as the core to feed the MESH relay points.
