Re: [WISPA] health insurance
Concerning mandatory auto insurance, I think missing is the fact that while not required to have a car, I would be hard pressed to survive without a human body. The requirement for all that drive cars represents the same principle, that if everyone that fits the profile (car drivers, those with human bodies, whatever) responsibly share the risk (insurance), it is fairest to all. My rates for uninsured motorist coverage are way below what they were before mandatory insurance.

With the new plan, no matter what, I HAVE to pay for insurance. You can bet, if I HAVE to, I will go to the doctor more often. I recently had the flu. Swine most likely, normally the flu will have me down for 2-3 days. This one, 3 WEEKS in bed. I never went to the doctor, what was the point. Sound financial decision. If I had insurance, I would have been right there, just in case there was something that might be able to be done. It is proven, if people have health insurance, they use it more than they would if paying out of pocket. Seems like that is a dangerous progression.

I was once and put money into WISPA.When I think WISPA has the interests of all WISPS in mind when they act, then I'll financially support it. When WISPA goes to washington DC and represents to them, that we actually WANT to be regulated, I cannot support them. When WISPA consistently fights FOR all of us, and not just the narrow interests of those who want federal money or whatever, then I may again support WISPA financially. When the attitude that consolidation and shaking out the smaller players is a good thing goes away, then there's on more barrier down. It may not be official, but people who make decisions in WISPA have said that in the past. Sorry, you lost me with that one. Small business and mom and pop are the backbone of our economy and make up a huge segment of all the jobs in the whole country. Every other industry organization unabashedly opposes everything that costs them or can harm them, but the leadership continues to insist that somehow playing nice and agreeing to mandates and costs will buy us favor... All that happens is the mandates and agreements happen, the regulators change and all the goodwill supposedly bought evaportes, with the precedents and whatnot remain. Until they understand that Washington DC is NEVER our friend, never to be trusted, then we're just sheep waiting to get shorn. Until this fundamental approach changes, no way in good conscience can I put my name on what they do or give them money. Sorry, that's just my opinion and it's not subject to revision and extension. This same attitude is going on still. WISPA leadership is still talking about trying to out maneuver the big boys so as to make grants and loans available. Cripes. Yeah, like we're ever going to win the arm twisting contest to bend it in our direction? We don't collectively have that much money or lobbyists tin DC to get our names to the top of the rolodexes. We cannot win that fight with those rules. We have got to start selling the value of a thriving and diverse industry that exists solely due to lack of regulation and lack of governmental interference and that the big players cannot play our game effectively and that betting on the big guys is like buying Enron or Lehman stock. We will never be the providers to the masses, but there can never be affordable ubiquitous broadband without us. That might take some thought and creativity to compose the narration and it might take some skill to sell, but there's simply no rebuttal from Verizon that FIOS is ever going to make a lick of sense in a wide array of places. Or that in an era when Congress really, REALLY needs to get their fiscal act in order, that blowing vast sums to reach few people makes sense. It has to be about selling the value of who and what you are and why you are, not out muscling the big guys for a slice of pie. That can't be won. Further, it obliterations the differences between us and them. That DIFFERENCE is our strength, not our weakness. If you're not thinking in those terms, then some re-thinking needs to happen. What will attract membership is a consistent, clear message about how we have and are building a thriving and healthy industry, even in these economic times, due to the fact that WE ARE NOT THEM and then selling exactly who we are. The people coming back form DC need to talking about how they sold us so well that when we say we need protection from mandates and expensive intrusions, that they listened. The idea of going to DC and being a we threw a toothpick in the cogs of the big guys and got some money for us is self defeating. We need to be proactive, not reactive, we need a coherent message and a coherent brand. We need to be defensive of the very thing that makes it possible for our numbers to multiply - freedom to do business without regulatory overhead. We need to not be attempting to joust with the cable operators and telcos over what they want. We need to present something more compelling than feed our gaping maw so we c an continue our mediocre performance that the othe guys play. And no, don't tell me to run for WISPA office. Agitators like myself don't win popularity contests. Besides, I won't put my name on the organization until it changes. I prefer poking a stick in the hornets nest, to letting stuff go along quietly.

Give good reasons and do not argue with the FCC. Just tell them why you need the channels. Use good grammar, use correct spelling, be as good a writer as you can even if it is only one sentence. I want to see 500 comments from the WISP industry on this NPRM over the next 5 days. Let's bury them in so many comments in support of this NPRM that the FCC cannot deny us this ruling. Here are some thoughts that may help motivate you to do this right now: How would you like to serve up broadband that operates in 100% of the proposed theoretical coverage area around your AP with no significant line of sight issues? How would you like to use common off the shelf cable modem type devices with minor modifications as CPE for these new magical APs? Then pay attention and do what I ask right now and do not try to micro-manage this effort. Just speak up right now! Today! Not tomorrow! We need solidarity on this one. Let's get it right and get the message out loud and clear right now. Be prepared to hear negative comments about what I am proposing from WiMAX interests because they do not support all of what I am asking. We are not WiMAX radio builders. We are WISPs and we need TV channels right away before Uncle Sam pays billions to the RBOCs to circumvent what we are doing. This is the FCC plan if you do not act fast. The 120 day VOIP 911 order was a clear message that WISPs are not going to have a level playing field in this current FCC administration in many cases. It is time for us to demand what we need to build our industry. Auctioning off the TV channels is not acceptable to us. The FCC needs to hear it many many times if we are to have a chance at this effort. We need those TV channels offered up under the FCC 04-186 NPRM. Support it and let the FCC know why you support it. Tell them about your people who cannot get signal. Tell them about the unacceptable number of towers it takes to cover a few blocks in a heavily treed area using higher frequencies. Tell them how we could maintain higher density modulation schemes without fallback if the signal to noise ratios were more stable as we will have with TV channels. Tell them how spectrum is getting tight because of the massive growth of wireless broadband in your markets and about how unlicensed use of unused television channels will help this. Tell them we will prove that Grandma will never lose her TV signal with our systems regardless of the NAB Sky is falling mentality. Tell them this NOW!. We are going to get 04-186 passed right now or we are going to force the FCC to go ahead and rule against us now while we are the people who brought communications online in gulf affected areas. We have the highest level of political equity we have ever had and I plan to use it while we can. It may well be our only chance to get this spectrum and we disparately need THIS SPECTRUM NOW. When you submit your FCC Statement for the Record you will be the proud owner of an official web page confirmation ID which shows you have actually made a difference for your
