Re: [WISPA] FCC Slides that didn't make it in time to be used
Good eye. You never know who will take note, but I wouldn't be so sure that this would necessarily be noted by even the FCC. I'll never forget an scene I watched, even though it was 29 years ago (you just don't forget some things). We were giving a live demonstration of new 2-way trunking radios to FCC and FCC staff members in DC. We certainly had expectations that we were presenting to people who knew what we were talking about. Yet when we invited the FCC FCC staff members to try the radios themselves I saw an FCC staff member hold the mic in their hand up to their mouth and said hello, and then move the potato mic over to their ear to listen. But I agree with your suggestion. You don't want an image with your name on it to give a wrong impression. But I'd be surprised if anyone with the FCC would actually note the omission. :-) Rich - Original Message - From: Barry at Mutual Data [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 10:21 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Slides that didn't make it in time to be used Hello Rick, The last slide should be pulled as the climber is not using safety equipment.

Rick: It's not so much that FCC personnel would know what they're looking at, but if it's distributed as part of the official record, any competitors to the WISP industry who do know they're looking at would be quick to point out any issues TO the FCC to discredit WISPs. ANYTHING that is submitted for official record should really be checked over for all the i's to be dotted and the t's to be crossed (offered from a survivor of more than a couple oopses that have made it into mass-circulation print.)

Hello Rich, IIRC, Bob Moldeshel had mentioned ( years ago) that if OSHA sees the picture they can track down and fine the person doing the violation.

We had a big fire here a couple weeks age. A barn with 250k chickens burned down.. The local news chopper was flying over.

[WISPA] A Message from Brother Larsen
Hello all, I considered going to the FCC meeting today, but it would have been a huge time committment for me after already making a pretty big committment to get down to Louisiana last week. If I really felt that this was the time for us to come out to the forefront and declare our industry ready to take charge, I would have gladly taken the time to do it, but WISPA was mentioned as one sentence in one report that was little more than a footnote after all of the stories of sacrifice and tremendous efforts that the ILECs bandied about. We are still nothing more than footnotes to the FCC and the telecom industry. 250 miles north of NOLA, we had spotty cell phones and the regular phones only worked half the time - which is why Mac's team went down south and is doing something very SPECIAL and AMAZING down on the Gulf Coast. In my mind, the thing to do right now is to keep on plugging away on the relief efforts and save our promotional activities until we have a little bit more under our belts. Many in our industry made donations that went straight to Mac's team, and will keep them fed and operating through the weekend - and I will say this right now MAC'S GROUP IS GOING TO BRING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF POSITIVE VISIBILITY AND CREDIBILITY TO OUR INDUSTRY That FCC meeting is going to be completely forgotten in another week or two, but I guarantee that people are going to know the legend of Mac Dearman and his motley crew for years - and the most important thing to do right now is to stand behind him and support him in this time of need. If any of you had been there, you would have felt the incredible power of that team, the energy flowing between everyone and the focus. Many in that team knew little about WISPs - they were network or VOIP guys - but they are believers now, I guarantee it. In the next two weeks, they are going to show the world what the git er done attitude can do, and it is going to put the Telcos, the cableops and the FCC to SHAME! Gentlemen, our golden moment is upon us - we are about to rise from the horizon of obscurity and start our fast rise into respectability, credibility and investability. Our seat at the big table is being prepared, and Mac Dearman - probably one of the most unlikely heroes we could ever have, and yet probably the most deserving - is going to pull the chair out for us. The most important thing we can do for the next thirty days is going to be to make sure that we can put any possible resource in front of Mac, just to show what ONE MAN, ONE WISP can do with resources behind him. When his job is done, the most important thing we can do will be to trumpet that acheivement - we need heroes and the stories behind those heroes will be remembered. I want every person in America to know who Mac Dearman is - because he stands for all that is great about our country. After being down there for a few days, I have completely recommitted and reworked my video project idea about WISPs to focus on Katrina efforts and how the things that Mac is doing are just a reflection of what WISPS do everyday, all over the world. I have two hours of video footage, and another two hours coming from a videographer in Louisiana, and I fully intend to make a documentary that tells our story like nothing else. I have no idea where I will come up with the money and time to get that video done, but I WILL FIND A WAY! I was in tears at home last Tuesday night, feeling for my friend Mac and wishing I could be down there helping him out - but it only took me about 30 minutes and two phone calls before I figured out how to get it done. I was able to enjoy a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I was able to be part of something meaningful and pure of heart. This is our chance to make a difference, RIGHT NOW! It is time to seize the day. Our number has been called, are we going to stand on the sidelines or get in the game! LETS DO IT!

Re: [WISPA] FCC Open Commission meeting - Real Audio
Hey Matt, I am sure you may have figured it out but in case you haven't, here it is.. By Mark Rockwell mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] September 15, 2005 The FCC is moving to get new efforts in place to support the recovery of telecommunications in the Gulf Coast region in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, including some wireless programs. During an unprecedented off-site monthly FCC meeting at BellSouth Telecommunications Inc.’s Emergency Control Center in Atlanta today, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin proposed using $200 million of universal service funding funneled through existing programs to aid the area in communications recovery. Part of that funding would provide those using FEMA disaster assistance with support for wireless handsets and a package of 300 free minutes of service for evacuees and people still in the affected area. The proposed $200 million total would be funneled through several existing programs, such as the agency’s low-income, rural health care and E-rate programs. The low-income program would fund the wireless handsets and free wireless minutes. Under the proposal, health care providers in the region, including Red Cross shelters, would apply for telecommunications support aide at discount rates. Also, Martin said, the commission would open a new funding window to re-connect schools to the Internet in the area. He also suggested the establishment of an “expert panel” of public safety and communications industry executives to examine how the storm affected the network infrastructure.

[WISPA] Satellite Anyone?
Hello everyone, Has anyone successfully used satellite (ie, Directway 7700 or similar) as their source of upstream bandwidth? If so or if not, why? How did it turn out? Any suggestions? T1's are hard to come by here, and I'm still shopping for alternatives.
