Re: [WISPA] Fw: Economic Stimulus Funds: Public Meeting Hosted by Lead Government Agencies
We will have someone there, probably either Steve Coran or Tom DeReggi. We are trying to schedule a private meeting with NTIA as well. There is some contention on whether they are taking private meetings or not. The first press releases said they were, but we saw one yesterday that said they weren't. This public meeting may be a replacement for private meetings. I should know more soon.

[WISPA] Friday History Humor
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 200 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: ' California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.' One week later, The Des Moines Register, a local newspaper in Iowa, reported the following: After digging as deep as 300 feet in his flower garden in Storm Lake, Iowa, Jack Kooker, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Jack has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago, Iowa had already gone wireless. We Iowan's rest our case! WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Economic Stimulus Funds Public meeting.
NTIA, USDA and FCC will hold a series of public meetings to discuss the broadband provisions in the economic stimulus bill. The first meeting, March 10 at NTIA headquarters in Washington, D.C., will focus on the broadband initiatives funded by the bill, including the new Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and the development of a national broadband plan. There will be a Webcast of the meeting and an archive will be available. As soon as I get the info, I'll post the link.

Re: [WISPA] Fw: Economic Stimulus Funds: Public Meeting Hosted byLead Government Agencies
Since others have not responded to this yet, I will say that I know that WISPA will have at least one representative present in person at the meeting. I spoke with a RUS representative yesterday asking for more information on how they plan on dealing with the stimulus program. Their response was this: Please follow our web site. Yes, we know it hasn't been updated in weeks. We will be holding a joint meeting with NTIA on the 10th. After that we will post more information on the site. Yes, we know that the loan program information on our site doesn't work. You are still welcome to submit a request but since the forms are invalid it probably won't do any good until we issue new ones at some unknown date in the future. We are aware that that NTIA is holding meetings with groups starting March 2 but RUS is not prepared to do that. Please watch the web site for updates. NTIA gives the impression that they are far more organized than RUS however, that may just be RUS feeling that the less information they give out the more likely they are to be able to direct the money to the people they prefer.

Re: [WISPA] Friday History Humor
Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dogs Winston, Chief, Gus, and Maximus. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me.. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!

Re: [WISPA] Fw: Economic Stimulus Funds: Public Meeting Hosted byLead Government Agencies
Here are some bullet points from release by a think tank in DC. Some of which are positive, some are negative concerning WISPs. I included this so that everyone could see the other perspectives being lobbied to the NTIA and RUS. 1) Protect the open Internet: The NTIA and FCC should prohibit grant recipients from selling any service that violates open Internet principles and should require recipients to offer interconnection on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis. 2) Promote speed: The NTIA should establish speed guidelines and benchmarks and require grant applicants to detail actual -- not advertised -- network speeds, with priority given to next-generation projects. 3) Provide clarity: The NTIA and FCC should adopt definitions of unserved and underserved areas that are based on U.S. Census Bureau geographic boundaries (either census blocks, block groups or tracts), and are informed by new FCC broadband data. 4) Prevent waste: The NTIA should require grant applicants to provide extensive documentation showing how their proposed project qualifies as a new investment. 5) Gather information: The FCC should immediately initiate proceedings to gather data and ideas to inform the national broadband strategy. 6) Focus resources: The NTIA should refocus the $350 million currently allocated for state broadband mapping toward projects that work to stimulate broadband demand, because the FCC is already collecting this data. 7) Remove roadblocks: The RUS should eliminate current regulations that restrict broadband upgrades, create barriers to new entrants and undermine competition. 8) Ensure transparency: The NTIA and RUS should create a single, publicly accessible online database that hosts all the information relevant to the broadband projects funded by the Stimulus Act.

[WISPA] Fw: More FYI -- Form 477 (DEADLINE is now MARCH 16)
fyi... Looks like we get a LITTLE bit more time to file. If you've not done it I suggest you do so this time. I'd not be at all surprised if all of that grant money weren't somehow guided to orgs that can prove a history of service already.

You have three methods for obtaining the needed Form 477 census tract data: 1) You can click on the following link which provides a useful resource for matching individual service-location addresses to census tracts on a case-by-case basis, http://www.ffiec.gov/Geocode/default.aspx. 2) You can use U.S. census tract outline maps to identify year-2000 census tract boundaries, http://ftp2.census.gov/plmap/pl_trt/. They are listed by state and then by county and can be viewed to the road/street level. 3) Vendors can help you geo-code addresses to census tracts, for example, http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/vendors?A.
