[WISPA] Open Internet Filers thus far

2010-12-13 Thread Rick Harnish
Below is a list of companies that have filed their letters on the Network
Neutrality Open Internet proposal thus far.  The deadline is tomorrow at
5:30 pm EST.  We need much better involvement than this to impact the
decision.  Thank you to those who have done this already.  It is best to
make a .pdf of the letter to upload.  One provider sent a word doc and it
showed up with track changes turned on.  He has since contacted the FCC
and asked them to remove it and will upload a new letter.

 

1.  WISPA
2.  Northern Neck Wireless
3.  St. Louis Broadband
4.  New Ways Wireless
5.  OregonFast
6.  Zig Wireless
7.  Northwest Ohio
8.  Kentucky WiFi
9.  Omnicity
10. Cache Broadband
11. Imagine Networks
12. Txox Communications

 

There may be others that have filed but haven't been released for public
viewing yet.

[WISPA] content filtering as a premium service for subscribers

Anyone offering web content filtering as a premium service to
subscribers?  If so what have you found works best?  We've had a few
requests, and are trying to see if it is worthwhile.

2010-12-13 Thread Justin Wilson
WebSense is a good product.  The thing about any type of web filtering
is you have to keep on top of it.   Companies such as Websense push out
almost daily updates on new sites, false positives, etc.  If you ³roll your
own² be prepared to be writing exceptions a lot.  There are new web-sites
everyday. Not only that you have new content everyday on exiting web-sites.
The example I always use is a site that goes into detail about breast
cancer.  A simple solution may block the site one day, but not the next.
Depends on what the author of the web-site wrote that day.

My .02 is pay someone who has dedicated staff to do it for you.

[WISPA] New WISPA Spring Regional Meeting Debated - Feedback Needed

2010-12-13 Thread Rick Harnish
All,

 

WISPA is considering doing another Regional Meeting in partnership with
FISPA in Orlando on March 23-24 with rain dates of 24-25th depending on
hotel logistics.  The WISPA Board will be meeting on this Thursday and we
need to make a decision so that an appropriate hotel can be reserved and
vendors can be contacted immediately.  

 

I need to get a rough idea how many WISPA attendees would be able to make
this event.  This is not a commitment on your part at this time, just an
idea for preliminary guesstimations.   Please respond to me either onlist
or offlist if this is of interest.  FISPA normally holds three events per
year and focus on such educational topics as CLEC, VoIP and telco circuit
solutions.  There are many FISPA members also doing fixed wireless and they
would benefit from our wireless educational tracks, just as many of our
members may benefit from their tracts.  It appears that there are very good
synergies and a co-meeting such as this would be very beneficial for our
vendors killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

At 12/13/2010 02:09 AM, Tom DeReggi wrote:
Well, currently there is no law to force a WISP to offer service to a
specific customer.

Indeed... The principle of common carriage is that a common carrier 
must offer service to anyone who asks and who meets the 
qualifications, but ISPs have never been common carriers.  Telephone 
companies are common carriers.  That's why they get subsidies.  Only 
the FCC decided that telephone companies aren't even common carriers 
any more except for dial tone, DS1 and DS3.  Since raw DSL (the ATM 
under the IP) is no longer common carriage, ISPs aren't entitled to 
buy it, and that is the only reason there is a network neutrality 
issue. The fix is thus obvious, and the courts have pointed it out, 
but since the Bells call the shots at The Portals, the FCC is not going there.

I believe that one way to fight it is to simply not comply. Remove any
reference to what your Network Management practices exactly are if the
conflict with allowed NetNEutrality laws, the opposite of truth in
advertsing. If any end use complains, simply disconnect their service at
their term end. Tell them that you ran out of network capacity, and were
forced to remove some subscribers on a random basis, and they were one of
them by chance. Let them complain, I believe it would be very unlikely for
the FCC to enforce anything, and very hard to prove any wrong doing was done
on the WISP's part.

Just like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. You complain... No Soup for You. Just
dont say it out loud.

Probably a perfectly valid approach.  However, if there were some 
kind of general neutrality rule about ISPs, then kicking off 
unhappy subscribers wouldn't help.  The neutrality police would just 
attack on principle.  FiOS can afford to carry all the video in the 
world.  Why can't you?  (Verizon's supposed opposition to NN rules 
is a case of crocodile tears.)

My point here is... It wont be legal to block or limit speed. But is it
illegal to simply get rid of a subscriber? Cable COs under Franchises, or
ILECs under Monopoly Regulation may have trouble with the Law if they try
not to serve specific customers. But I'm not sure that WISPs will have that
same problem.

You can dump subscribers but it's irrelevant to NN rules.

I guess what I'm uncertain of is what it will mean if a WISP is subject to
Title 1 legislation. Will a WISP become liable for discrimination cases, if
Heavy USers become looked at as a class of Consumers?

You just cited the joke in the whole thing.  There ain't no such 
animal as Title I regulation. Title II regulates common carriers.  If 
ISPs were somehow deemed common carriers, they could fall under Title 
II.  But the DC Circuit's Comcast ruling made it quite clear that the 
FCC lacks the ancillary authority under Title I to do anything 
here.  Title I does not actually regulate much; it is where the law 
puts the organization of the FCC, fines, procedural matters, 
etc.  Actual regulations are eleswhere, so by calling ISPs Title I, 
they've been calling them unregulated.  The Comcast Order was 
overturned specifically because the FCC refused to cite Title 
II.  And it seems highly unlikely that the FCC will cite Title II 
this time either.  So it's back to court.

But as I noted, WISPs, unlike Bells, lack any licenses and don't get 
any FCC (USF) subsidies, so their authority is doubtful.  If the FTC 
(not FCC) decided that Internet in the product name somehow implied 
neutrality, then they might have jurisdiction.  In either case, if 
you don't use the name Internet in the product, they probably lack 
any jurisdiction.  Warning:  I am not a lawyer; I just play an engineer on TV.

Free Press Floods FCC With Net Neutrality Petitions


Group wants Commission to toughen up chairman's proposed compromise order


By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting  Cable, 12/13/2010 11:45:52 AM


Free Press is killing some trees to try and save the Internet.

Free Press says that
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/common/jumplink.php?target=http%3A%2F%2Fac
t2.freepress.net%2Fsign%2Freal_net_neutrality%2F%3Fsource%3Dposterous
SavetheInternet.com volunteers will be hand-delivering 2 million petitions
to the FCC, with volunteers making the trek every hour on the hour until
sometime Tuesday.

Free Press wants the FCC to toughen up the chairman's proposed compromise
order expanding and codifying its network openness rules. The order does not
rely on reclassifying broadband access under some common carrier regs (Title
II), allows for specialized services, and does not apply most of them to
wireless broadband.

The FCC is planning to vote on the order Dec. 21, which is still subject to
edits and emendations as the commissioners vet the draft.

Free Press calls the chairmen's proposal a toothless effort that give[s]
just about everything to giant phone and cable companies, and leave[s]
Internet users with almost nothing.

That two million are not all in response to the compromise FCC proposal, but
represent the names on a number of different petitions on net neutrality
cirucluated over the past couple of years, according to Free Press' Craig
Aaron.

Copies of the different petitions are being attached to the appropriate list
of names, approximately 50,000 per boxful, which are being delivered hourly
to the commission through Tuesday. 

To monitor the progress of the data drop, go to

  Free Press Floods FCC With Net Neutrality Petitions
 Group wants Commission to toughen up chairman's proposed compromise order
 *By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting  Cable, 12/13/2010 11:45:52 AM*

 Free Press is killing some trees to try and save the Internet.

 Free Press says that *SavetheInternet.com volunteers will be
 hand-delivering 2 million 
 petitions*http://www.broadcastingcable.com/common/jumplink.php?target=http%3A%2F%2Fact2.freepress.net%2Fsign%2Freal_net_neutrality%2F%3Fsource%3Dposterous
  to the FCC, with volunteers making the trek every hour on the hour until
 sometime Tuesday.

 Free Press wants the FCC to toughen up the chairman's proposed compromise
 order expanding and codifying its network openness rules. The order does not
 rely on reclassifying broadband access under some common carrier regs (Title
 II), allows for specialized services, and does not apply most of them to
 wireless broadband.

 The FCC is planning to vote on the order Dec. 21, which is still subject to
 edits and emendations as the commissioners vet the draft.

 Free Press calls the chairmen's proposal a toothless effort that give[s]
 just about everything to giant phone and cable companies, and leave[s]
 Internet users with almost nothing.

 That two million are not all in response to the compromise FCC proposal,
 but represent the names on a number of different petitions on net neutrality
 cirucluated over the past couple of years, according to Free Press' Craig
 Aaron.

 Copies of the different petitions are being attached to the appropriate
 list of names, approximately 50,000 per boxful, which are being delivered
 hourly to the commission through Tuesday.

[WISPA] Broken Dragonwave

2010-12-13 Thread Kevin Sullivan
We bought a used Dragonwave link, and it appears that both ends have broken 
radio modems. Dragonwave wants $2,000 to replace each modem card assembly, for 
a total of $4k. Does anyone know what that is, and if it is possible to repair 
without paying Dragonwave unholy amounts of cash?

 TOPIC:  Treatment of Fixed Wireless Broadband in Open Internet Decision to be 
 made at the FCC Commission Meeting on Dec. 21st, 2010.
 
 DEADLINE:  Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 5:30 PM EST
 
 IMPORTANCE LEVEL:  HIGH
 
  
 
 All WISPs and WISP Vendors,
 
  
 
 Friday I sent out an announcement of a critical decision that is tentatively 
 scheduled to be made at the December 21st FCC Commission meeting which may 
 severely impact your business and its future.  WISPA filed its Ex Parte 
 comments on Friday, which I have attached.  Doc121010-013.pdf.  Below, is an 
 excerpt of commentary made by Steve Coran, WISPA’s telecommunication attorney 
 about this “Open Internet” proposal.
 
  
 
 As you may be aware, at the December 21 meeting, FCC Chairman Genachowski 
 intends to put to full Commission vote his proposed Open Internet (net 
 neutrality) rules.  This means that all communications with Commission 
 decision-makers must be completed by 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, December 14.  The 
 Chairman has Commissioner Clyburn's vote, and will not get Commissioners 
 Baker and McDowell on board.  Commissioner Copps would prefer more stringent 
 Title II regulation and may hold out for some concessions, but at the end of 
 the day its widely believed he will sign on to the rules, yielding a 3-2 vote 
 along party lines.  Republican House members have already indicated that an 
 FCC vote in favor of Open Internet rules would exceed the FCC's authority 
 and be subject to legislation and political fall-out.
 
  
 
 From recent press reports and the Chairman's statements, and of relevance to 
 WISPA, we understand the proposed rules will create two separate regulatory 
 regimes, one for fixed and one for mobile.  Mobile wireless broadband 
 providers will be subject to less stringent requirements, while fixed 
 wireless will be included in the more heavily regulated class of broadband 
 providers.  On the other hand, the Chairman has indicated that he will allow 
 pay-as-you-go or usage-based billing.  Not sure about any caps or 
 constraints, but at least on this point the Chairman is open to innovative 
 billing models.
 
  
 
 As we did during the TV Whitespaces proceedings, we have taken the time to 
 write a template letter that we encourage ALL WISPs and our partner vendors 
 to file.  The deadline is Tuesday, December 14th at 5:30 pm EST.  Feel free 
 to customize this letter, also attached to personalize it to your specific 
 company demographics.  Any text in Red should be replaced by company specific 
 information.  This campaign is extremely important and has a very short 
 window of opportunity for each of you to respond by.
 
  
 
 Once you have customized the letter, please make a .pdf copy or a .doc file 
 and upload it at the following website.  
 http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=rhroc.  If you choose not to 
 use the WISPA template letter but want to write your own comments, you can 
 either follow the previous procedure or use the Express filing method at 
 http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=nc5cd.  The proceeding number 
 ET Docket Nos. 09-191 and WC Docket No. 07-52.  You can add the second

 assistance in editing and refining this letter template.  If you do not care

 I cannot stress how important this is for each WISP company to do.
