[WISPA] Chat List
I have seen some degradation of the content of the WISPA list server of late. A little humor and off topic chatter is ok but we probably need to improve our signal to noise ratio just a little bit guys please. Let's all step up the level of professionalism required to keep the list a vital part of our business. We do have a chat list that is designed to be a place to just chat about anything on your mind. You can signup for it by going to http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/chat and then you can tell jokes, discuss politics, slam each other's heritage ( not really) and whatever else not related to the business of running a WISP or improving policy you like as long as it does not turn into a battle royal. WISPA has been working to gain some vendor membership as well as asking other WISPs to join. If this list looks like nothing but a "text bar" then we will not attract others to this forum and we need others with information and dues that can help us.

Re: [WISPA] Re: Wireless Digest, Vol 17, Issue 11
I have spoken to a few people about this, because I see it on many lists. Razzing or ragging on your paying vendors is kind of dumb. If the vendor is willing to support the organization, why would you discourage them? Do you have people lining up to support your org? As someone who has helped run associations, getting members and vendors to join and pay dues is HARD! Regards, Peter 4isps.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Right-a real salesman.

Re: [WISPA] Clearwire Comment on AT&T/BS Merger
I've read it. Their focus is divestiture of BS's 2.5 GHz spectrum (and to a lesser extent the 2.3 GHz spectrum held by AT&T and BS). They filed comments on 6/5 and reply comments on 6/20. Several other parties made the same arguments, but Clearwire's are the strongest and most detailed.In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a telecom attorney. In addition to having WISP clients, I am representing PaeTec in the AT&T/BS merger proceeding and filed comments on their behalf.

Re: [WISPA] Clearwire Comment on AT&T/BS Merger
Frank, Interesting Comments. I believe there would be benefit to publicly supporting part of Clearwire's petition but with a different twist. Clearwire makes good points on why BS/ATT should not keep 2.5Ghz spectrum after the merger. However their suggestion for what to do with it (2.5Ghz spectrum) is self serving. If anything brings forward the threat that Clearwire is trying to become to third party independent ISP or WISPs. I propose that WISPA sends comments that adds that the merger should be prevented for many of the anti-competitive reasons listed, but add, that if it were to be passed, the 2.5Ghz should not be allowed to go with it, and should be donated to the competitive industry for Unlicensed Wireless, to compensate the third party competitors that would be most harmed by the merger and foster optimal competition. Giving more license spectrum to specifically one individual such as Clearwire, would be hippocritical and not serving competition optimally. Quite honestly, I'd rather see ATT sit on the spectrum than to allow a well financed WISP have it all to themselves to gain a competitive advantage. Or kept licensed, and donated to a third party non-profit for experiemental licensing projects. For example, kept license, but not allow any one entity to purchase over 5% of the spectrum licenses. To foster more wireless startups that are not nationwide monopolies.

[WISPA] US, Japan to Lead Mobile TV Market, Contributing to Worldwide Revenues of $11.7bn by 2011
US, Japan to Lead Mobile TV Market, Contributing to Worldwide Revenues of $11.7bn by 2011 A new report from analyst firm Juniper Research predicts that Broadcast Mobile TV will reach revenues of $11.7bn worldwide by 2011. Japan is predicted to lead the market with revenues reaching $2.9bn and the US will follow closely at $1.8bn. The UK is also predicted to be a key market at $989m. Hampshire, UK (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- A new report from analyst firm Juniper Research predicts that Broadcast Mobile TV will reach revenues of $11.7bn worldwide by 2011. Japan is predicted to lead the market with revenues reaching $2.9bn and the US will follow closely at $1.8bn. The UK is also predicted to be a key market at $989m. Although Japan is initially offering a free service on its ISDB-T ‘One Seg’ network, Juniper Research predicts that it will start charging for the service in 2008. Japan, US and UK markets are prime breeding grounds for mobile television viewing mainly because of the large appetite for TV viewing. Although South Korea has had a head start in broadcast Mobile TV with its DMB efforts, Japan and the US will overtake it in terms of the number of subscribers, purely based on the larger mobile subscriber base. Of the overall broadcast Mobile TV subscriber market Japan, US and South Korea will make up 39%, with the other major markets being Germany, Italy, UK, India and China, making up 36% by 2011. Juniper Research has short listed 26 key countries/regions around the world for broadcast Mobile TV services. Aditya Kaul, Senior Analyst at Juniper Research and report author stated that, “2006 has been an interesting year for Mobile TV with a large number of announcements concerning broadcast Mobile TV trials and rollouts, many of them timed with the World Cup in mind. The key highlights have been an increased uptake in streamed Mobile TV services and surprising results from broadcast Mobile TV trials, showing a dramatic increase in the average time spent by the consumer on watching Mobile TV” However, there is still some skepticism in the degree of success for broadcast Mobile TV. “Broadcast Mobile TV is definitely a step in the right direction but its success will depend on many factors such as the type of content, content rights, security, spectrum availability, business models, regulation and quality of indoor coverage”, Aditya adds. A whitepaper and further details of the new study ‘Mobile TV: The Opportunity for Streamed and Broadcast Services, 2006-2011 (second edition)’ is available at www.juniperresearch.com.

[WISPA] Broadband internet connections increased by 10.4 million lines in 2005 and voip use is expected to more than triple, as a result.
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) July 17, 2006 -- voip.com - The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reports a 32% increase in the number of US broadband subscribers during 2005, giving the US the highest total number of broadband connections in the world. As of June 30, 2005, the FCC has redefined broadband or high-speed lines as services that deliver connection speeds in excess of 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction. They further expand that definition to include advanced service lines where connection speeds exceed 200 kbps in both directions. This clarification allows for more detailed data collection regarding broadband penetration and trends. All facilities-based broadband providers are now required to report basic information to the FCC, such as services offered and types of customers served. Before the June 30, 2005 change, those service providers with fewer than 250 high-speed connections were not obligated to report data. Nearly 90% of the 42.9 million reported high-speed lines were residential, with cable modems servicing 61% of that market and ADSL accounting for 37.2%. The remainder consists of SDSL at 0.4%, fiber connections to the end user's location at 0.2%, and 1.1% for other methods of connection like satellite, electric power line, and terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless. Advanced services lines showed a 60% increase in subscribers, bringing the total number of broadband lines with both upstream and downstream speeds in excess of 200 kbps to 37.7 million primarily residential lines. Of these, 61.8% had speeds of at least 2.5 mbps in the fastest direction, generally downstream. As with high-speed lines, the majority of subscribers are being serviced by cable modems (64.9%), while only 33.9% reported using ASDL lines, and 0.5% were symmetric DSL (SDSL) or traditional wireline connections. Fiber connections accounted for 0.2% of the whole, while other types of connections came in at 0.5%. This includes satellite, electric power line, and terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless. Due to this trend of increasing broadband penetration, US voice over IP (voip) users are expected to more than triple in the next 4 years, jumping from 10.3 million to 44 million in 2010. Voip requires a minimum of 90 kbps in both directions to work. Broadband speed can be checked using voip.com's bandwidth tester at [http://www.voip.com/speedtest.aspx http://www.voip.com/speedtest.aspx. --- --- -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

We've got a few customers that are mainly fiber carriers and use wireless to extend off that. The fiber business is a whole differnet animal. It can be good, but requires that you really understand what business you're getting into. Especially if you are leasing capacity to other carriers, the audit requirements can get fairly hefty. Most of the fiber folks I know of use the fiber as the primary backhaul for their wireless system and for direct drops into the biggest customers. In one example a school disctict actaully paid for the installation of the fiber to hit all their schools (over 100 miles) but the WISP still owned it and was able to add additional strands for a little extra $. But the school ended picking up 90%+ of the total cost. Now that makes the ROI look much better.Mike BJohn J.
