I'd argue that FCC does not have the right to pass judgement on one's management of their network, and recently spoke to several house commmittees on that topic. However, Provisions are required to make palyers pay nice with each other. You are right it is not just about Bit toerrent and VOIP.

Tom, I'll answer your question and I need to change up the topic. In part I agree and I am not set against working this out, but Martin is setting up some bad and continuing precedence on how the FCC is working within their legal purview. He is already on the hot seat with Congress on some of

This is what I don't get. I reminded the OP that several ranking members of WISPA have declared objecting to mandates as politics. And, unless I have missed something, WISPA has NEVER officially objected to a single thing the FCC has wanted or gotten or demanded, and if someone suggests they
