Re: [WISPA] Makes you feel a bit... errrr.... what's the word?
Mark, I agree completely with your closing sentiment that "Everything we do should be aimed at providing ourselves protection from being wiped out due to pressure from Congress or the Big Boys". I don't however understand your "beef" with this particular FCC action. Mr. Moses was and is now again providing a clear and valuable public service to the community of Goldfield Nevada which (if you've ever been there) is a near ghost-town that's fighting to continue to exist as a community. It seems that Mr. Moses's broadcasting is providing a significant service to the town while harming nobody. Goldfield is located in the desert three hours north of Las Vegas and six hours south of Reno. This is a desolate rural area with little to no local broadcasters so no risk of interference to anyone. http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#q1=goldfield%2C+nv.&trf=0&mvt=m&lon=-117.240601&lat=37.714245&mag=11 Mr. Moses is harming no one and he is obviously helping his community. I say (figuratively) "more power to him". As to your comment that Senator Reid is corrupt... well I'm not even going to go there. I don't want to start ranting about the very real endemic, destructive political corruption that has been on display in our Nation's Capital recently. To end on a positive note, I'll just repeat that I agree with your ending sentiment that we (WISPs) need to do everything to protect ourselves from being wiped out by the "Big Boys". Mr. Moses isn't trying to wipe us out, AT&T IS trying and has been doing a very good job of that. Let's keep our eyes on the right ball.

Amateur Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, is in Scottsdale, Arizona with more: -- Rod Moses, the owner of Radio Goldfield Broadcast Inc., was given special temporary authority to go back on the air with his low-power radio station in a January 29th letter from the Federal Communications Commission. A letter generated by pressure brought by Nevada Democratic Senator Harry Reid. Based the action on a complaint filed with the agency, FCC enforcement agents came to Moses' trailer on June 9, 2006. This is the location that also houses his radio station, The FCC engineers inspected the station, and then requested that it be shut it down. Moses complied but then wrote to Senator Reed asking his assistance in getting back on the air. He explained that he had been running the station he calls Radio Goldfield since March 2005. In that time frame he had been broadcasting community news as well as oldies from an MP3 player. He wanted a low power license but had been informed by the FCC that the period to apply had long ago expired. Reed apparently got Moses letter and in turn wrote to the FCC. In his letter to FCC chairman Kevin Martin dated Sept. 1, 2006,, Senator Reed stated that Radio Goldfield made significant public interest contributions to the local community. He told Martin that the unlicensed stations programming brought regular weather reports to this high-desert area of Nevada, where conditions can abruptly change in often times dramatic ways. It did not take the FCC very long to act. It soon wrote to Moses giving him permission to put his unlicensed station back on the air. The letter cites Section 309(f) of the communications Act of 1934, which authorizes the commission to grant the temporary allowance in cases of extraordinary circumstances requiring temporary authorizations in the public interest.

[WISPA] CALEA Session at ISPCON
All, Anyone headed to this session at ISPCON? It should make for some interesting discussion. Track: WIRELESS SERVICES | 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM W9: CALEA and You: Advice, Strategies and Solutions Peering into the future of VoIP is difficult, but by examining lessons learned in the last five years, it’s possible to predict the service challenges that will face next generation VoIP providers in the coming months. This discussion touches on the reasons why two business methodologies for VoIP deployments will continue: the business market vs. residential market. We'll also cover the impact of CALEA and other regulatory requirements and challenges yet to be addressed for the SMB market. We'll look at how non-traditional service providers will affect the competitive landscape and the impact of video and IPTV service delivery on platform architecture.

Any ideas on how to get them operational again? Tranzeo is even kind of stuck. If I could get a static ARP entry to ping, I think I would be home free, but I haven't been able to get that to work.

Re: [WISPA] muni wi fi pricing
Well, thats the question. Did Tax dollars pay for it? Do Cities want to take liabilty and accountability for how they spent tax dollars? Thats the scare of Earthlink type models, it doesn't use tax dollars, it uses private dollars, and the City is off the hook for liabilty. That encourages Cities to give awards to the company that will pay for it, which is the wrong message to send. I beleive the message to send is, Governement stay out of building the network, let the private companies do that. What the Governement should do is provide grants, loan securing, and tax incintives to re-imburse consumers or ISPs for buying the CPE. CPE finance is the only way to guarantee that all providers have equal access to serving consumers. The problem isnlt trying to find providers willing to build networks, its getting subscribers to part with their money to fund the upfront CPE cost. Nobody wants to pay for CPE, not the customer, not the government, and often not the banks and lendors. Thats the bottle neck that is slowing residential wireless deployment.

[WISPA] CALEA - Is this what it's for?
My Grandpa always said "follow the dollar" ;) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,255479,00.html Record Industry Offers Students Settlements Before Bringing Lawsuits Over Music Downloads Wednesday, February 28, 2007 LOS ANGELES — The recording industry trade group will give hundreds of college students suspected of illegally sharing music online a chance to reach settlements before being sued for copyright infringement. The move announced Wednesday comes as the industry seeks to stamp out what it is says is rampant music piracy on campuses. The Recording Industry Association of America said it was sending letters offering discounted settlements to 400 computer users at 13 universities. • Click here for FOXNews.com's Personal Technology Center. The group intends to send hundreds of such pre-litigation letters to university computer users every month. "The theft of music remains unacceptably high and undermines the industry's ability to invest in new music," said Mitch Bainwol, chairman and CEO of the association. "This is especially the case on college campuses," he said. The letters targeted students at Arizona State University; Marshall University; North Carolina State University; North Dakota State University; Northern Illinois University; Ohio University; Syracuse University; University of Massachusetts, Amherst; University of Nebraska, Lincoln; University of South Florida; University of Southern California; University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and University of Texas, Austin. As part of its ongoing copyright crackdown, the association has already sued about 18,000 computer users nationwide since September 2003. The figure includes about 1,000 university students. The suits were initially filed against "John Doe" defendants, based on their Internet addresses. Many are accused of downloading music over university Internet services. After filing a lawsuit, recording industry lawyers work through the courts to learn the name of the defendant. The latest letters offer users a chance to settle for "substantially less," association President Cary Sherman said. He declined to provide specifics. The association has sent three times more copyright complaints to universities this academic year than it did last year. The complaints ask the schools to take down unauthorized content being shared on their network. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Fw: [WISPA] Final Form 477 Consideration
Hi All, Forbes asked a good question. I didn't know the answer so I shot his note off to the FCC's 477 director. Here's the entire conversation: - Original Message - From: "Ellen Burton" <> To: "Marlon K. Schafer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "477INFO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 7:49 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] Final Form 477 Consideration Hi, Marlon, For Forbes's question: We are trying to measure those end user customers who actually get over 256k. If Forbes has merely decided to advertise in a conservative manner and -- in fact -- 90% of his 500 or so customers (or about 450 customers) actually get over 256k, consistently, then the 450 number should be reported. For your own question, Marlon: You would include in your Form 477 all the connections that you sell as "1meg/1meg" because they all operate above our 200k threshold consistently. When you get to the five "speed tiers" (columns f though j), it might be easiest to put them all in column f (i.e., over 200k but less than 2.5meg). But, if you really know that some number of these connections consistently deliver 2.5meg or higher, you would put those connections into column g. Sorry I haven't been back to you on more general matters, this week, but we've been swamped and I haven't been able to talk with appropriate folks here. Ellen -Original Message- From: Marlon K.

Re: [WISPA] MT "Hotspot" Configuration
The 'free trial' feature should be what you need. They click on a link on the hotspot login page and get free access. You can determine how long they stay connected. Julius Igugu Webcenta Wireless - Original Message - From: "Mark Nash" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 11:22 PM Subject: [WISPA] MT "Hotspot" Configuration Hi All... I'm trying to configure an RB532A w/Mikrotik RouterOS. It seems there are a few ways to do what I'm trying to do, so I'm soliciting advice. I'm deploying this as a "free hotspot" - in a local restaurant to market my service. I'm wanting to allow the restaurant patron to freely connect to the AP, then show him/her an advertisement (maybe a page that makes them agree to terms of service then click OK) that shows them a little about my service, then allow them to get on the Internet to do what they want to do. How are you handling this with regards to Mikrotik RouterOS? Thanks in advance...

While I have over 500 wireless customers we sell the service as 128k even though 90 percent of them get over the 256 the feds ask about, but that's not what we're selling. In reality we only have 15 customers committed to over 256K. Am I trying to say "Yes I can do over that amount"? or "here is what we actually sell". You tell me which would be better to report.

Rick Smith wrote: Wonder what kinda bandwidth this will eat up. http://www.apple.com/appletv/ Not much more than what your customers are already using. Basically, it lets you watch purchased content from iTunes on your television. iTunes has sold TV shows for quite a while now. If it tried to stream content, there might be an issue, but AFAIK it doesn't do that. Heck, aside from the iTunes "hook," a soft-modded Xbox makes a much better media center, and you can probably find one at your local pawn shop for fifty bucks. :-) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

I'm sure they could, but as soon as a customer decides this is what they want to do, and can't, angry phone calls will ensue. No matter how silly the request, it's pretty much guaranteed that someone, somewhere, will actually WANT to set up their network that way and have reasons that are (at least in their own heads) perfectly valid for wanting to set it up in that way and no other. A friend of mine uses WPA and made the network key his SSID, but that was actually his honeypot network. (He's a little cracked like that.)
