Re: [WISPA] WISPA TV Whitespaces Meeting with the FCC
Back in the late 90's when I was running an MMDS operation on 2.5MHz, we used a 100 watt system. We had customers more than 30 miles away with multi-megabit connections. Give me power!

The following Members represented WISPA. Ryan Spott, Alex Phillips, John Scriver, and Jack Unger. The WISPA Team was assisted by Steve Coran of Rini/Coran LLC in Washington. All Team Members made valuable contributions to the effort and we all feel that the meeting went well. Our goal was to ask the FCC take favorable action soon on WISPA's Petitions to adjust the TV Whitespace rules by making corrections to several problem areas, thereby making WISP use of the Whitespaces more practical and more successful.

Let me guess...Hybrid Technologies. I tried to lease space from Heartland to launch the same system but they would not get me access to their spectrum under any terms. Spectrum is the key.

Re: [WISPA] WISPA TV Whitespaces Meeting with the FCC
Thats right. Worked well but costs were too high for our customer base so it never took off. On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 8:18 PM, John Scrivner j...@scrivner.com wrote: Let me guess...Hybrid Technologies.
