The FCC's home page ( transition.fcc.gov ) has an item about Connect America Fund, posted with no description. This turns out to be a further NPRM about Phase I funding. As you may recall, CAF Phase I was the short-term (2012) step that offered $775 per line to price-cap ILECs (the Bells and other big ones) to bring broadband to unserved areas that they otherwise wouldn't. It was budgeted for $300M but only about $115M was claimed, mostly by Frontier. The Bells didn't take much. CenturyLink however whined that the definition of served should be changed to specifically exclude areas WISPs, so they could get subsidy money to overbuild existing WISPs. The FCC turned that one down, though CenturyLink did take money for some other areas. The new Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2012/db1119/FCC-12 - 138A1.pdf asks what to do about the remaining Phase I money. While they could of course just not spend it, lowering the USF tax (now around 17%!), that's not one of the two options they are proposing to select from. One option is to simply add this funding to Phase II, which begins in 2013. Phase II allows for competition in the awarding of funds; there will be a reverse auction, and the bidder who asks for the least subsidy money gets it. Most of the FNPRM, however, is devoted to the other option, essentially a second round of Phase I. They propose changing Phase I rules to encourage the ILECs to take more money. There are a lot of questions about details, but the basic ideas are along these lines: 1) Redefine unserved to be anywhere that doesn't have 4/1 service, vs. 768k/200k in the first round. This would be based on the National Broadband Map, using 3M/768k as a surrogate for 4/1. (The agencies apparently hadn't agreed on speed tiers.) So an area served by a WISP at 2M/500k, or by Canopy 100s, would be deemed unserved, since it's not 4/1. 2) Allow challenges to the national map. So if an ILEC thinks an area is unserved even if a WISP claims it's served, they can argue the matter to the FCC. This works both ways, so I suppose an ISP could claim that the map omitted them by mistake. But it points out that a WISP SHOULD MAKE SURE ITS COVERAGE AREAS ARE ON THE MAP! (Just a little shouting in case anyone didn't hear it.) They are supposed to come out with a list of unserved areas (census blocks0 next month. There are some other interesting details. Phase I awards are $775 per new customer. That number may be adjusted in this second round. Also, in areas served by (rural, subsidized) Rate of Return Carriers, the subsidy number comes from the FCC's High Cost Proxy Model. In Phase 2, these areas get subsidized according to a more elaborate cost model now being debated. There is also the possibility that the Phase I recipient may have to build a certain amount of second mile (basically, exchange feeder fiber) as well as last mile distribution. But there's no clear obligation to make this available at wholesale, which would be nice. They also ask about how to handle builds that have to go through served areas in order to reach unserved ones. So even if you're on the map, you could get overbuilt by the ILEC. Note that a Phase I awardee must apply to serve specific unserved areas and applies to serve a certain number of unserved subscribers, *but* they do not actually have to use it where they said they would. The applications are merely suggestions of where they might find their unserved customers. They can actually spend it elsewhere, so long as they get at least one customer added per
[WISPA] That Internet invention too often wrongly cited to justify big government.
Gordon Crovitz: Who Really Invented the Internet? 7/24/12 The Wall Street Journal A telling moment in the presidential race came recently when Barack Obama said: If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. He justified elevating bureaucrats over entrepreneurs by referring to bridges and roads, adding: The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all companies could make money off the Internet. It's an urban legend that the government launched the Internet. The myth is that the Pentagon created the Internet to keep its communications lines up even in a nuclear strike. The truth is a more interesting story about how innovation happens—and about how hard it is to build successful technology companies even once the government gets out of the way. For many technologists, the idea of the Internet traces to Vannevar Bush, the presidential science adviser during World War II who oversaw the development of radar and the Manhattan Project. In a 1946 article in The Atlantic titled As We May Think, Bush defined an ambitious peacetime goal for technologists: Build what he called a memex through which wholly new forms of encyclopedias will appear, ready made with a mesh of associative trails running through them, ready to be dropped into the memex and there amplified. That fired imaginations, and by the 1960s technologists were trying to connect separate physical communications networks into one global network—a world-wide web. The federal government was involved, modestly, via the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Its goal was not maintaining communications during a nuclear attack, and it didn't build the Internet. Robert Taylor, who ran the ARPA program in the 1960s, sent an email to fellow technologists in 2004 setting the record straight: The creation of the Arpanet was not motivated by considerations of war. The Arpanet was not an Internet. An Internet is a connection between two or more computer networks. If the government didn't invent the Internet, who did? Vinton Cerf developed the TCP/IP protocol, the Internet's backbone, and Tim Berners-Lee gets credit for hyperlinks. But full credit goes to the company where Mr. Taylor worked after leaving ARPA: Xerox. It was at the Xerox PARC labs in Silicon Valley in the 1970s that the Ethernet was developed to link different computer networks. Researchers there also developed the first personal computer (the Xerox Alto) and the graphical user interface that still drives computer usage today. According to a book about Xerox PARC, Dealers of Lightning (by Michael Hiltzik), its top researchers realized they couldn't wait for the government to connect different networks, so would have to do it themselves. We have a more immediate problem than they do, Robert Metcalfe told his colleague John Shoch in 1973. We have more networks than they do. Mr. Shoch later recalled that ARPA staffers were working under government funding and university contracts. They had contract administrators . . . and all that slow, lugubrious behavior to contend with. So having created the Internet, why didn't Xerox become the biggest company in the world? The answer explains the disconnect between a government-led view of business and how innovation actually happens. Executives at Xerox headquarters in Rochester, N.Y., were focused on selling copiers. From their standpoint, the Ethernet was important only so that people in an office could link computers to share a copier. Then, in 1979, Steve Jobs negotiated an agreement whereby Xerox's venture-capital division invested $1 million in Apple, with the requirement that Jobs get a full briefing on all the Xerox PARC innovations. They just had no idea what they had, Jobs later said, after launching hugely profitable Apple computers using concepts developed by Xerox. Xerox's copier business was lucrative for decades, but the company eventually had years of losses during the digital revolution. Xerox managers can console themselves that it's rare for a company to make the transition from one technology era to another. As for the government's role, the Internet was fully privatized in 1995, when a remaining piece of the network run by the National Science Foundation was closed—just as the commercial Web began to boom. Blogger Brian Carnell wrote in 1999: The Internet, in fact, reaffirms the basic free market critique of large government. Here for 30 years the government had an immensely useful protocol for transferring information, TCP/IP, but it languished. . . . In less than a decade, private concerns have taken that protocol and created one of the most important technological revolutions of the millennia. It's important to understand the history of the Internet because it's too often wrongly cited to justify big government. It's also important to recognize that building great

I believe most congressman are people with good intentions who want to do good for their state, and effect posititve change. Intentions are always good. If they weren't they never would have got into politics in the first place. Many have high ethical morals, to fight for the cause, and never consider selling out their beliefs. Most people when they have a decent amount of money that affords them a fine basic life without to much compromise, its usually enough, for them to stay strong to their morals. The issue comes when a congressman has to choose between his family and his constituents. Family will always be more important to a congressman that is also a mother or father. They want to provide for their family to the best of their abilty. They want to get their kids in a good college. Etc etc. What I've observed is that most corruption doesn't happen for millions or billions of dollars of profit for the guy that looked the other way. Its usually a few thousand here or there of indirect benefits, that starts to add up. Saving a $1000 here or there helps. Sometimes, the corrupted person doesn't even realise they are being corrupt, it just sneaks up on them. Maybe it was just pulling a strong to get a kid accpeted to a school. Or maybe a trip that gets doubled as a vacation. But I beleive that if a salary will cover every basic expense their familiy will want to have a good life, and the politician never has to consider, if I do this, how will it effect my familly, than it makes it a much easy decission for hte politician. Then it just becomes greed against morals. And most politicians, care more about public opinion and their status in a community, which is more valuable than a buck here or there. When people get corrupt, its also often because they feel discruntled or that something is owed to them for their hard work, and never received what they deserved through the standard legal methods, for their hard work. If making the laws for billions of people is not important enough to get a high salary what in the world possibly would be? I know self employed truck drivers without a high scool diploma that have made $150k per year. Shouldn't an untouchable uncorruptable highly educated and publically supported politician be able to do better? Why should a football player make millions and a politician that got elected by million only get middle class? IF good educated men can make better money going into business or being another lawyer, why would they waste their time in congress? How do we get the best people into congress? Quite honestly, I beleive a congressman has earned their right to a better life, and their employer, (the government and taxpayer) should pay for it. So much rides on the decission of a congressman. Billions of dollars are influenced daily. Whats a few extra thousand going to the decission maker, that upheld his morals to represent his constituents? The problem with politicians is not their paycheck. The problem is their lack of understanding of the issues to make informed decissions. Or that they are on the take by big money lobbiest, and make the wrong decissions for the wrong reasons. How does one combat that? Not by attacking the congressman's paycheck. The answer is good solid clever lobbying that gains the congressman's symnpthee, and preys on his ability to execute sound judgement for the right reasons, the reasons he got into politics in the first place. What I'm not against is putting a limit on how much money political parties can receive from a lobbiest or

Cliff, did you just offer to help us with this effort? I am married to an attorney. Many of my friends are attorneys. I have been able to legally run my business and create several organizations with the help of attorneys. When I saw we had 3 attorneys offering to help us make sure we have done things in a legal and proper way I was very glad to see that. I appreciate their legal experience and expertise being shared within this committee. I do not think that anyone in our committee was even considering that we would not do things in a Kosher way and frankly I find this post somewhat offensive. I have committed literally years of free support to WISPA in matters such as this and I do not expect much but not getting intellectually kicked around for my efforts would be a nice start.

Uh, no. Wireline is a natural monopoly. That is NOT what it has sometimes been taken to mean, an excuse to regulate.

In other words, the incumbent can always underprice the new entrant, so it's impossible to compete. --- - WISPA Wants You!

Beware, the kinda, gentler IRS is no more! I've spoken to a couple of CPA's about this. They are warning me that ALL equipment utilized in providing service should be depreciated - expensing it is sending a red flag to the IRS.

Re: [WISPA] TrangoLink45 question
Swap the radios with each other to see if the problem follows the radio or stays at the location.

One direction (MU to RU) maintains a steady 54mbps air rate all the time. The other direction (RU to MU) will work at 54mbps for a while, but always slowly (over about 3-5 minutes) drops to 12mbps. I have tried some other channels and polarities to no success. Does anyone know how to get a log from these units that might show why the link slows down?

Re: [WISPA] Can a village levy a tax on my AP's?
You should know that a contract doesn't make anyone exempt from taxes, only death does that. Not even death exempts one from all taxes... Ever hear of inheritance or estate taxes? -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of jp Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 11:07 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Can a village levy a tax on my AP's? You should know that a contract doesn't make anyone exempt from taxes, only death does that. It's probably personal property tax. Many places charge property tax which includes things like being taxed on the value of your land/home, excise tax for the car, and personal property tax. Personal property tax is not as big a money maker in most towns and many are not very hawkish on it, so you haven't had to deal with it yet. Most towns are probably too busy making sure everyone pays their normal property taxes on time. You'll declare your AP on the tax papers, and send them a few dollars every year. It differs from town to town perhaps on how sharp they are for noticing the opportunity to tax, if it's a non-conforming use of the property, probably special attention was paid to it's installation, and all the advertising you do advertises you have equipment in this town. All this differs from state to state, so you should check with a skilled accountant or an attorney with municipal skills.

Our office is not in their village and I don't live in their village so I see no reason for filing. The only thing that ties me to them is the lone AP on their water tower. I am on 3 other city's water tower's in the same area and none of them have said anything about filing with them. The contract between the village and I states nothing about taxes or exchange of money for using the tower. 1 - Is income derived from clients residing in the village limits taxable as income? 2 - What about income derived from clients residing outside the village limits but running off the AP in the village limits? 3 - Even if so, why do the other ISP's that provide service to residents in the village not have to file income tax to this village? 4 - By filing income within the village I would technically be paying tax on income from all my towers generating revenue that have nothing to do with their tower. As far as I know there is no ordinance regarding internet service within the village in any way. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O. Box 126 Bucyrus, OH 44820 419-562-6405 www.wavelinc.com WISPA Wants You!

Mac, Smoking is bad but it isn't the only thing you need to change. The attached picture shows another problem;-) Jim John Scrivner wrote: Glad to hear there was no damage! Awesome news! As for the quite smoking incentive, I hope it doesn't take that much for some others (me included). I just have to quit liking it. :-( I have to give credit where credit is due. I smoked from age 16 for at least 20 years. I must have tried unsuccessfully to quit smoking 20 times until I finally gave it to God and told him he would have to take that one. You have to be careful what you pray for though. So I asked God to take the smokes away and help me not like them any longer but asked if he could do it with something a little less severe than cancer. The next day when I got out of bed I could no longer be around smoke at all. The smell made me sick to my stomach and I would have sinus and breathing issues even being around the smoke. I never smoked again and to this day have no cravings. For any of you who smoke you know that is miraculous. That was a few years back. Those of you that know me well know I am the farthest thing from a model Christian. I guess my point is that this had to work really good for me to make these statements. If any of you want to quit then hit me offlist and we can talk more. Mac, we are glad you are well brother! (Physically anyway...the jury is still out on your mental status!)

Re: [WISPA] gotta love USF!!!!
The hell it ain't a tax!

The audits have not shown any telephone company to be misusing this money. And I want to repeat, this is not taxpayer money. Most of this money is from a charge tacked onto the bills of the RBOC customers. It is revenue pooling and re-distribution. So, lets back off the misuse by telephone company tone of this discussion. If we want to point fingers, you will find the fingers are pointing at the local networking and ISP companies. That is the major source of the misuse. The second is cell phone companies claiming to be providing pots service to rural customers via tellular units. Western Wireless built a business plan around tapping the USF for all it could get.

Re: [WISPA] Needed Materials
John, I am just getting time to settle down from my assessments. THANK YOU for your offer to assist. So far, from an infrastructure, the most critical is that one of the towers we were on fell. It was 400' and the following Trango equipment was on it and is no long useable. 1 Atlas P2P Ext using 5.4Ghz 1 3' Radiowaves dish 2 Trango 5830AP's Since we are out of power around town, we can see how much equipment we have lost at subs yet. I would also like to order a 10-pack of 5830SU's. Please ship all of the equipment above to: Larry Van Pelt 501 South Cunningham St. Rayne, LA 70578 Send UPS 2-3 day. Call me on my cell 985-852-6582 or office at 985-879-3219 if you have any questions. Let me know the total and I can either send a check or give you my credit card information if Trango doesn't have it on file. Please confirm this email so that I can check it off my list.

Re: [WISPA] Good Golly Gustav
To all those who have asked, or were wondering... I live in Houma, LA, where Gustav visited... For the first time in my life, we evacuated. Now... I'm stuck in MS waiting to get home. Family is well. Internet access the past few days has been difficult to get. There is much devastation back home. I apparently lost two live oaks, a pine through my barn/garage and other superficial damage at my home. My babysitter that I offered to evacuate with us was determined to stay home. At the last minute, she decided she wanted out. Too late... So, she and her family stayed at my home since it is was much sturdier and on much higher ground than hers (mine is about 6 ft about the sea as compared to hers at 3 ft below and about 20 miles closer to the gulf than mine). They were shaken but are as well as can be. As-far-as the office, the building is good. NOC running on generator since power went out Monday at about 7 am. Good thing it is fed by the city's natural gas and I don't have to keep refueling... We have much damage to our wireless infrastructure. Not sure of the extent, but all towers have damage needing to be addressed. Don't know about the subs since they don't have power for us to see their end, but am expecting may problems with CPE's and mounts. The whole area has much wind damage. On the bright side, it appears flooding was only in the southern most part of the Parish from what I can tell. If you have watched the weather channel, St. Francis School that was ripped apart on TV is where my girls attend. The local State Trooper's office had its roof torn off, as-well-as many homes. Trees and power line down everywhere. They are forecasting three weeks with no electricity. They are not letting people back in until Friday from what I hear. I do have a pass permit to re-enter. Now that I have the family situated, I'll head back tomorrow. It's a damn having the mixed feelings of whether I should have stayed instead of leaving, but I guess the family is a little more important to me these days than the business...Maybe I'm finally growing up AND feel fortunate enough to be able to have been able to make that choice for myself. Not everyone IS so lucky! I'll provide more information when I can. Thanks, Cliff On 9/2/08 12:52 PM, Mac Dearman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jeff List folk, Gustav didn't pack the punch that Katrina did, but part of that is/was due to the Southern States having a plan in place to evacuate MANDATORARILY before the storm came ashore. This will be a huge factor in the amount of aide that will be needed today and in the weeks to come. The bad thing about the mandatory evacuation (from what we are seeing/hearing today) is that Gustav did roll in and destroy everything thus all the folks that evacuated this time will not leave next time a hurricane comes along. I personally feel like the next time a hurricane comes through Louisiana - - it will be devastating and many lives lost. The last account I heard was 1.2 million without electricity in the southern part of the state and we lost power here (up to 3 days out) 360 miles North of landfall at 11:30am this morning. The NOC and our offices are powered by generators so we are ok - - -short of no air-conditioning in the office and the mosquitoes will be out in full force about dark:30We have gotten a lot of rain through all this and the wind has been howling here since the hurricane came ashore. We haven't lost but one AP (cable flopping up the tower in the wind) but have talked with Cliff LeBoeuf (Houma La,) this morning (CSSLA Triparish.net) who is a WISPA member and he lost a 400' tower as well as numerous APs and Back haul radios due to lightening and wind damage. He is currently in Mississippi with his wife and baby girls and all are doing fine in their RV. He is very concerned about his network and we are working with him to see that he has what it takes to get everything back up and running. Cliff's network admin rode the storm out and says all is fine with their NOC, bandwidth and offices, but the power is going to be the issue as they too are running on propane fired generators and may be three weeks till power is restored. That will take a few gallons of propane! I will try to keep everyone informed as things progress and more is known about the situation. I personally want to thank those who have volunteered to come down if there be need - -and to thank the vendors who volunteered to send gear. You folks are great! I personally want to set up a board of advisors for the next hurricane and all of you who volunteered will be on it if you are willing to assist me in setting up a formal relief strategy.

[WISPA] Opinion - Licensed P2P Link
I am considering upgrading a P2P link that is 18 miles to a licensed link. It appears that Trango has attractive pricing on their Gigalink solution. We have used Trango equipment and have experienced the good and bad. However, I am overall pleased with the company and their products. I would like to know the good and bad of their Gigalink products from those that have implemented their solution, as-well-as any comparable/competitive solutions. Also, it appears that I can get 99.997 reliability out of an 11Ghz solution with 4ft dishes, and 99.8 from 6Ghz with the 6ft dishes. Do both of these numbers seem correct in my area of Louisiana? I do plan on keepong my current Orthogon 5.8Ghz link as a fail-over. Reply on or off-list.

Re: [WISPA] GPS
Also, get one with an electronic compass... Be careful that you make sure that the compass feature works when stationary. Many have the compass feature, but you must be moving for it to work.

RE: [WISPA] Managed IT Service
College just trains you to expect more than what you're really worth. Maybe you didn't LISTEN good enough in college! If you were listening, you would have heard what you should actually EXPECT was right on. If you are as good and knowledgeable as you state, then you are not charging what you ARE worth. The only way you would be screwing anyone at $80 per hour is if you didn't know what you are doing. There is nothing wrong with making money.

RE: [WISPA] Our 5.3 GHz cert is in!
Wonderful news Patrick. When will the 5.3 products be part of the Comnet program? Also, what about the affordable 'limited' AU? - Cliff -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 3:58 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Our 5.3 GHz cert is in! We made the date. Yeehaw! It was quite a feat and we have done it with backward capability even with new CPE in old sectors, which is huge. This is a big advantage for BreezeACCESS VL 5.3 GHz users and it demonstrates once again our long term commitment to protect the investment of our WISPs. It also means customers do not have to suffer any meaningful delay. Excuse my excitement; it is just a reflection of pride in the work done by our product team. The easy route would have been to wait for a new chip, then make new hardware. Instead, we made a customer-centric decision that we do not want to strand networks and we went and did what no other company has done -- go into the chip and develop new code...and deliver it in time. The previous assumption was that it was going to be impossible to do DSF2 on the existing chip set.

The type of role you are suggesting WISP do, can be best done by dedicated Full Time Professionals (Folks like Kris Tome / Jack Unger etc etc ) none of them are inexpensive nor can afford to work for free. Heck, even the US Chamber of Commerce, who calims to play an active role in Washington DC, gets more in membership dues than WISPA, and they work of a much much larger base of members (All kinds of business from all over the US).

Butch, I have also seen more valuable information shared amongst paid members such as contracts for towers, roof rights and end-user agreements. Each of these documents could be well-worth the annual fee individually.

Maybe I am not paying close enough attention, I don't know. I'll just mention TWO examples. Direct $ for $ examples, too. You may not be using these services, but they answer the question, and both were posted right here on this list. 1. Kris Twomey (even now) is selling the legal service of doing the filing for CALEA at $100 (or $125...I can't recall) for WISPA members. He charges $250 to do it for NON WISPA members. That is a direct $125 (worst case) savings. If you use this service, the real cost of a WISPA membership is $125. 2. Frank Muto sells an email filtering service (Postini) and has offered to pay for your full WISPA membership with the purchase of some level of service with him. I can't recall the specific details, but his offer makes WISPA membership absolutely free. Those are just 2 examples, both of which were posted right here on this free list. Looking from the outside it doesn't always appear that the ORG is able to uphold the code of ethics. This is mainly based off of discussions held on the freelist. I see comments from members, officers of the ORG that I feel do not uphold the above listed items from the code of ethics. I'd really like to understand what you see that makes this a true statement. Again please read this as an outsider looking in, trying to understand what WISPA has going on or as done for our industry and what the value is for me to join. I am not saying WISPA is not doing or has not done anything for our industry. I just need some help understanding. I am not gonna sell you the organization. But I will work on answering this a little. 1. WISPA is right now working on a standard that will make CALEA safe harbor VERY INEXPENSIVE for WISPs. Not just members. This is an INDUSTRY solution. 2. WISPA has been urging WISPs to file the 477 forms, which is important because it will make us, as an industry, a larger portion of the broadband deployment in the US (statistically) as far as the government is concerned. Why is this important? Besides being the law, government is working to insure that every American has access to broadband. If we are providing that service in an area and they don't know about it, they will still work on a way to get that access available. 3. WISPA has urged (on several occasions) WISPs to file comments on various spectrum issues that would be beneficial to WISPs. WISPA has (as an organization) filed comments as well. Because we don't have the $$ to hire a lobby, this is the best effort in this regard. Now it's time to ask YOU what YOU have done for our industry. Have you filed comments on the issues that will impact your business? For the most part, over the past couple of years WISPA has. Have you filed your 477? If you're not going to join, then just don't join. Stop making excuses about what are you doing...You claim to be on the list since the beginning and you can't see what's been happening? What advantage does WISPA offer you? Give me a break. WISPA has done a LOT, considering the $$ that they have to work with. Either join or don't, but stop acting as though you need to be sold because you can't find anything on the website giving you what the value of WISPA is. FWIW, I do agree that WISPA needs to do a better job of selling itself on the website, but the point (in your case) is that you are just using it as an excuse, IMO. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ My calendar: http://tinyurl.com/y24ad6 Training Partners: http://tinyurl.com/smfkf Mikrotik Certified Consultant http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 X-MS-SIGNATURE:YES N;LANGUAGE=en-us:LeBoeuf;Cliff FN:Cliff LeBoeuf ORG:Computer Sales Services, Inc.

RE: [WISPA] CALEA Question
A few years ago, I added a line item to my invoices as follows... Surcharge for Bellsouth, FCC and other regulatory compliance fees and costs. This added fee is based on what I think it cost me to comply with reporting to the FCC, licensed links, and 'hidden' fees that the phone company itemizes inexcess of the actual circuit costs. This is no different than airlines and trucking companies adding 'fuel surcharges' and the quick lube business charging me an 'environmental disposal fee' when I have my oil changed. I added $2.97 per month, at the time it was the same that Bellsouth was charging for the USF on their 'itemized invoices.' I didn't loose one customer, but did have to explain the reason to two and they completely understood. That additional $3 for each DSL and wireless user was worth those two explinations. I don't charge the fee for hosting or dialup plans.

Adding a fee as a line item could get you in trouble with the FTC if not approved as a legitimate added government fee (just my opinion, nothing to base this on other than my gut). Your fuel and electricity have jumped considerably I am sure. I am considering a rate increase over these added costs also. I see no way around it. I have never raised my rates in 10 years.

RE: [WISPA] FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition
Mark, Do you pay ANY taxes??? If so, continue to the next questions. Otherwise, you have no reason to voice your opinion. Do you support the wars we are involved in currently? All of them, or just one or two of them? Do you support your lawmakers making more money than most of the country? Do you support the fact that your lawmakers should be able to decide their own pay raise every year? Do you support your lawmakers running this country into debt the way it has? If you answered 'NO' to any of the above, do you continue to pay your taxes as I asked with the first question? If you do continue to pay your taxes, even though you do not support what your government is doing with your money, why do you continue to pay them? I believe the same thought process applies to the FCC and what they are currently doing. If you 'support' your government by paying your taxes, why don't you support the FCC's efforts even thought you don't agree with them? Many times it isn't 'what you say', rather 'how you say it.' Keep shouting from the mountain top, but quietly comply. I'd hate for you to be MIA in the future. Life is not always fair, and right doesn't always win. - Cliff -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Koskenmaki Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 11:59 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition Heh... Is this an argument that taxes are a violation of the 5th Amendment? Especially the part that says ...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. ? That's where I derive my idea that we do not owe them any services or spending money to provide services or labor without compensation. Heck, CALEA provided funds to the telcos to compensate them... Why the heck are we special and not protected?From the arguments here, we have an unfillable debt owed merely for use of unlicensed spectrum... I disagree there's any debt or obligation whatsoever. - Original Message - From: George Rogato [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition you don't give them stuff for free Yes we do. Care to quantify this statement? Sure, the government has never paid me to give them taxes.
