My grandparents ate that food every single day...kinda goes with living in rural south. One grandfather lived to 93, other 86. One grandmother is still living at 82, other one past away at 81. The food has something to do with it, but not as much as many doctors let on. The food can be much worse with being overweight and smoking. None of my grandparents ever smoked and the worked every day on farms. None are/were overweight, if anything underweight. I guess they worked off all the fatty foods they ate every morning.

As for the quite smoking incentive, I hope it doesn't take that much for some others (me included). I just have to quit liking it. :-( I have to give credit where credit is due. I smoked from age 16 for at least 20 years. I must have tried unsuccessfully to quit smoking 20 times until I finally gave it to God and told him he would have to take that one. You have to be careful what you pray for though. So I asked God to take the smokes away and help me not like them any longer but asked if he could do it with something a little less severe than cancer. The next day when I got out of bed I could no longer be around smoke at all. The smell made me sick to my stomach and I would have sinus and breathing issues even being around the smoke. I never smoked again and to this day have no cravings. For any of you who smoke you know that is miraculous. That was a few years back.

The next three months is the most relevent. When we'll need the help most. Remember funds must be available by Sept 2009. Only 7 months away. WISP's will be capable of representing WISPA, if we run out of funds, and the process extends pasts 3 months. We have plenty of tiem to plan for that. The urgency in needing representation now, is that the process is moving so fast. It will be hard for our committee to move as fast as the legislations, without seasoned professional directing us and stream-lining us to our goal. The committee is prepared to do it alone, if we need to. And we are also prepared to seek alternate representation, if we do not raise the amount of money needed to gain RiniCoran's representation. However, RiniCoran was our first choice, because they clearly had put in their dues early with WISPA, and proven their competency. What we want to learn from members, is how bad they want top level representation for Broadband Stimulus, to optimize our chance at touching a peice of that $8 billion. If members volunteer substantial additional funds, it will be clear members support this effort, and WISPA as well will kick in additional funds from our cash-on-hand. It should be noted there will be several stages of this lobby effort. We started to late to effect the House. But we have a day or two left for the Senate. And at some point, the senate and house versions, get worked in/out to a mutual agreeable one. We are still urgently trying to make some effect to the legislative bill stage. I think we also should focus on Senators, at this stage, since the senate has not yet finished passing their version bill. If we miss the boat, then we focus on phase2 (FCC, RUS, and NTIA.) on the emplimentation phase.

Re: [WISPA] [Motorola II] Prognostication OT
So, if this cycle is coming out on its own, what can we do to stand behind those who voted that the stimulus is not a good idea and to leave things alone. I'm having mixed feelings / personal gut checks on this. Do I say, leave us alone, just let this all work out and we'll figure a way out of it, while the next minute say, hmmm... how can I get my hands on some of that stimulus money? Or, if I don't get it, the telcos and cable companies will? It brings to mind some of those of a greater generation who would not even accept their social security payments, based on the principal of the thing. When our great-grandkids look back at us, which decisions at this time will make them proud of us, in awe? Probably won't be the easy ones... Perhaps this is a discussion to have on the wireless@wispa.org list? Randy Chuck McCown - 3 wrote: I see that Boeing is laying off 10,000. Of course the 2008 fourth quarter financials are in and there is a loss. No surprise there. But I think they are using this as an excuse to jump on the layoff bandwagon, cut some deadwood, punish the machinist's union (for their strike) and show their stockholders that they are making the hard decisions to keep the company upright. At the same time one of the best products they have ever made is about to roll off the assy line. So, this is all hand wringing and chicken little fodder for the media. Every day you see a handful of publically traded companies doing the same. In the private sector, things run much tighter. We had our layoffs back in October and November. Our fourth quarter was bad too. But December started to perk a little. Unexpected. Then came January and the perking picked up and started to boil. I believe we are seeing the start of the recovery. The average recession is 14 months. We have been in this one technically for 13 months. In the several businesses I am in, my productivity followed the nations' manufacturing output curve almost exactly. From last spring until Jan 1, we charted parallel lines. (down) I have seen a sharp uptick in our WISP new installs, in our antenna manufacturing operation and in our retail store this month. The nationwide manufacturing output curve will not be updated for a couple of months but if I followed it all last year, it is not too crazy to think it will continue to follow. Housing starts have been artifically low for some time now, there is no stopping the demand for new houses. You can't stop producing new houses forever. We have recalled all laid off workers several weeks ago and are actually pursuing new hires again. We have a growing backlog of orders for the first time in about 6 months in both our WISP and in our antenna manufacturing business. The fact that the antenna manufacturing is going full steam again means to me that worldwide WISP growth has picked up an equal amount of steam. One equals the other. Either that or my stingers are being used as toys and art objects. All the shouting heads on TV and radio can spout doom and gloom all they want. If they are wrong, and things get better then nobody will be rubbing their noses in it. You have to stick your neck out to say everyone is wrong. So, on my little soap box here I am saying this is going to be a good year for all of us. This could end up being our best year so far. -- Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc work: 435-773-6071 http://www.snapanumber.com/ email: rco...@infowest.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/randycosby WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Lobbying Donations So Far
The following WISPA members have stepped up to the plate with donations for our Broadband Stimulus Lobbying Effort. The WISPA Board would like to thank all those who have donated so far and encourage others to do the same. I can't stress enough the importance of this cause as this package races through Congress and the lobbying efforts that will still need to be done as rule making and dispursement procedures are defined at the NTIA, USDA and the FCC once the Legislation is passed.

Re: [WISPA] Ceragon, Dragonwave and whatelse?
Just to resuscitate this thread ... We have a 1.2Km urban link, really only need 100Mbps, need ~5 9's of reliability. We have deployed Mikrotik 5.3GHz and Radwin 5.3GHz and are getting interference. We've also gotten interfered with on Alvarion VL 5.8. We'd like to do 80GHz Bridgewave, but it's too expensive. 60GHz Bridgewave doesn't have enough reliability according to the link budget calculations. Without actually taking a spectrum analyzer to the location, what suggestion would anyone have about the best frequency radio to deploy, to minimize interference issues, get ~100Mbps throughput and not pay more than ~$13,000 (including advance replacement warranty)? We're thinking Trango Apex or Dragonwave ...

Bridgewave's are definitely the way to go for short hops where they are cheaper than doing a licensed link. However, if Trango or Dragonwave offered a 24GHz link that could do 100Mbps or more for $8k, we'd be all over it and almost never think of Bridgewave.

Re: [WISPA] Lobbying Donations So Far
Just a note. The USDA/RUS will not currently loan/grant in areas where they have existing loans/grants in competing services. They spell this out on their website, but I know one guy that mentioned he got around it someway. IMO, this rule needs changing. Some of those getting funding are taking their own sweet time in deploying anything if at all. This is something your lawyers need to keep in mind when working this through with the Washington guys. If its not changed or addressed in the Stimulus package, those of you like me that compete with rural telco cooperatives, will be SOL. Also, if you compete with another company that has received Broadband Grants/Loans from the RUS, you may be in the same boat.

[WISPA] OMG...
Some of the financial and economic advisors I read from time to time are in deadly serious mode and I believe them. They're saying that unless all this debt and spending is stopped and stopped NOW, we're going to face a currency collapse as our currency depreciates to worthlessness. I can't believe a single one of us would be in favor of any of the pork barrell bills in Congress, much less raising money to lobby FOR them. You want to lobby AGAINST there being any pork bills, I'll donate if I can. If you're going to lobby for them, I can only surmise than none of you care about our future so long as you get your handout NOW. insert witty tagline here WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] OMG...
Hi, As I mentioned before, I don't want the hand-out either. The problem is, I don't want my competition to get any free money either (including cable or DSL). So, what do we do? The only option I see is to ask for our fair share, so we can stay on even ground.

[WISPA] Updated National WISP Map
The national WISP mapping initiative has been updated. This version contains data provided by Matt Larsen off the WISP Directory site as of 1/21/09. I also added some actual WISP network footprints from my clients who gave permission. To date the land area covered equals 539,133 square miles. You can view the map here: http://www.wirelessmapping.com/Google%20Maps3.htm Next step is to compile demographic data. That's going to take some work...state by state.

Re: [WISPA] OMG...
Tell ya what Mark. I'll bet you $10,000 the collapse won't happen. No, let's make it $100,000. Now, I'm serious! I'll even give you 2:1 odds. I'll give you $200,000 if it collapses. Deal? (Of course, ha gotta love these tales I win, heads you lose kind of bets ;-).
