I believe I am right, I am NOT interested in saying I have a right to impose

asking WISPA to answer - what is the official position? If there is none,
then are all the positions and statements and arguments just convenient at the
moment? Does WISPA advocate for things that will result in
Well, yeah, necessarily. Where I lived the service got worse.

I'm okay with that. That makes my service that much better and easier
to sell. I know you have a wireline portion of your business as well,
however.

That is exactly the type of thinking that I am warning about...

The fact that it is wired / wireless makes
Well, I am wireless and am getting into fiber. As long as WISPA keeps
working on the air and general ISP issues (which they are working on), I
can keep building upon my fiber. All fiber I am after is either via 20
year IRU or stuff I construct myself. That keeps me in the game for

Before 1996, there was open entry into the ISP market under Computer
II/III, but that was largely limited to dial-up, leased lines, and
telco transport services
Thanks for the history lesson, Fred! I'm glad I pointed you this way
from the replacement ISP-CLEC.
These regulations certainly spurred the ecosystems that enable us to
deploy cost effectively today.
I've never been a fan of using someone else's network without a
long-term agreement (IRU,

I had dial-up before 1996. Reading the lists over the years, people
were starting to do wireless then. Fiber networks were already starting
to be deployed.
TA96 just changed the costs of doing so and forced the Bells to share
their copper.

Only a handful of companies (that have a significant market presence)
took to the spirit of TA96. They piggybacked on the RBOCs while they
build out their own infrastructure.

It didn't allow entry into the internet business per se.
It allowed entry into the DSL business.

Bingo! It had nothing to do with the wireless business.

Well, it allows for VoIP, which we should all be doing to help our
bottom lines.
it also helps many WISPs obtain their connection to the net, but they
should be doing something Bell-less anyway.

Yes may be true .. but I think it would be naive this think so..
The evolution of the telecom and internet, I believe are inter-related,
think of it this way.. if there was no internet, then why would folks
need your wireless connection ?
Least we forget before the internet, there were the BBS
no body was scrambling to build private networks to connect to them
But those were early days. If left alone, we may have had something more
advanced and even better. At the very least, we wouldn't be in the mess
we're in now. ;)
