[WISPA] ATT petitions the FCC
All, I am sure everyone here saw this coming. If anyone thought because they were not in Verizon territory they were not affected there is bad news on the way. As quoted from the article; I think it will be pretty close to what Verizon did, Whitacre said, referring to his plans to file a petition similar to the one by Verizon that sought deregulation. I'm sure if Verizon has it, we'll get it too. and as quoted on page 2; One analyst said that ATT and other incumbent telephone carriers could be at a disadvantage when competing against Verizon for business customers if the FCC delayed acting on requests for similar regulatory relief.

Re: [WISPA] Muni wireless
Munis are just your hometown wanting service just like residents, business and education. As soon as we learn this we will all benefit from it greatly. Public safety specifically is the killer application of muni broadband in my opinion. If we all learn how to sell this to our towns and service it correctly we will inevitably win in the end. Backhaul to munis who decide to go it alone is also an option. I would bet most if not all of them would pay for a service agreement on their networks also. Maybe they will pay you to build their network for them? Scriv Matt Liotta wrote: I personally don't much care for Muni wireless as I would rather the government stay out of the ISP business.

Re: [WISPA] Muni wireless
Hello John, MikroTik is currently developing the biggest feature of mesh -- easy to install systems (no configuration required) that have a radio (or more) for local and a radio (or more) for backbone. This will enable WISP to compete better with the expensive Strix and other MESH systems. You will hear more about this at the MikroTik user meeting in Dallas - mum.mikrotik.com .

Re: [WISPA] Muni wireless
Congradulations Matt. What you demonstrated is exactly the message that WISPs need to send to their community and Munis. That there is benefit to partner with your local WISP that already has coverage and backbones, instead of duplicating, competing and interfering with them. No Provider will want to interfere with their own backbone provider, which incourages a long term cooperative relationship with the existing WISP partner for mutual benefit.

Re: [WISPA] Muni wireless
I tried to work with the City here but they wanted to do it all themselves. Well, Im thinking by the progress they have made so far they might have something worthwhile in the next few years, maybe.

I can't list all the cities we are doing Public Safety projects for right now, but we are starting to light up the city of Gilroy CA. A lot of dollars are being spent on projects in the name of Public Safety, especially to allow Emergency Services to be able to remotely access network resources. The next thing on the radar is providing Internet access. If the WISP gets there early, he can be a part of the solution. If the WISP isn't there, the city will go ahead and do it anyway.
