Re: [WISPA] It's been a ride... Some up, some down.
This list is fun. WISPA is doing a great job. In Nigeria where I operate our association is not doing enough to protect uss. Its not even making bad decisions. To renew your license is really hard - easier to get a new one. I could go on and on. Members should be grateful and either accept what they get or join the management and effect change. Akinlolu C.

Some have survived by going wireless, others by being really really good at what they do and keeping their niche markets alive, but it hasn't been easy. Had the rest of the small-ISP industry organized itself a quarter as well as WISPA has, then things might have come out a lot differently for them. Not that CLECs have done so well either, though frankly I think they were largely collateral damage, because ISPs depended on them.

I agree Faisal! As much as we may not like the way our government runs things, we have the right to petition, to protest, and ultimately, the ballot box. My hat is off to people who are able to make things work under MUCH more difficult circumstances!

You can find more information at the PHP's website. A permanent solution has not been provided by the Open Source PHP community as of 5 pm PDT on May 4, 2012.
