II4A hired 2 lobbyists to write 7 template letters each, so that the 14 templates would sound and look different. Just download, sign and fax to your Congress Critter. How many people downloaded them? Less than 15. How many people were aware of them? I'd argue that could also be a communicati

I am sure WISPA has a membership fee. As for the announcement, it was just that, an announcement. Surely even you can understand that any other information would not be a strategic move. I actually wanted to announce earlier but felt the ISP-CEO Exchange was better time slot. I'll stick with my s

Frank, In the same day as your post on WISPA, you are asking if anyone is filing comments to the BST-AT&T merger on other lists. Surely, your supporters will at least take 5 minutes to write a comment. No? Why not? Because it is easier to say I support something verbally than to actually do s

Peter, We can argue this back and forth all day and waste the members of WISPA time. I will say this as nicely as possible, get off the negative soapbox. Past experiences of others, especially those of impotent state PUC's do not interest me, times are different and so are the issues. You voiced

After all this time, you still don't get it USF, taxes, and national interest are built into the PSTN. The FCC E-911 ruling was just one hurdle to prevent VoIP from deflowering the PSTN. As it is, at every turn, the BOCs are losing lines. Cable has taken almost 10M VoIP lines already. Univer
