Correct me if I am wrong here Rick, it will be fruitless to do the map unless you are able to maintain customer speeds of 4megs down and 1 meg up. If you service your customer at speeds lower than that then it does not matter, the FCC will fund the Telcos... ~Doug ---Original

approach is used, you could comment that raising it from 768/200 to 4/1 is excessive, and perhaps say a 1.5/384 standard is more appropriate. Even Canopy 100 can probably claim that (if it's not loaded), though YMMV. Are you saying no one is providing service past 1.5/384 with Canopy 100?

I assumed he meant that Canopy 900mHz can not provide speeds above that. ---Original Message--- From: Matt Date: 11/30/2012 9:46:04 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Connect America Fund -- It's Bc! approach is used, you could comment that raising

The rule as it stands now is 3 meg down and 768 up. The 4 meg down and 1 meg up was something put in the National Broadband Plan by the white house team. Problem with that is the National Broadband Map (of which was already spec'd out when they wrote that plan) uses download speed tier breakouts

A WISP could also offer these speeds and raise the price for this plan to account for the total number of regular speed clients they might lose due to capacity issues with the higher speed plan. Nowhere do the rules state that you have to offer those speeds at any given price. Thank You, Brian
