Re: [WISPA] BellSouth rescinds N.O. donation
I took it to mean that you guys should move to higher, safer ground. Build a new city, give the ocean it's due and shift two steps north :-). A thought that makes imminent sense to me. As I sit here with an office right beside a creek. 5ish feet below the banks. And with insurance at $1600 per year for JUST the flood part, no flood insurance. However, I freely admit that it's a less than ideal spot for an office and I expect to totally loose my investment if we ever go over the creek banks (hasn't happened since they totally redid the water ways here nearly 50 years ago). Everything that matters to keeping the isp up and running is located out of the flood zone. Everything here can be moved in a couple of hours. Everything left can be lived without if need be. It would be a helluva financial hit though. And I'm sure there would be no help from anyone (nor should any be required). After all, I'm taking a risk that's quite clear to anyone that bothers to look.

Re: [WISPA] BellSouth rescinds N.O. donation
Many of us from far away have watched the debacle in New Oleans with a morbid fascination. Many find themselves frustrated with the corruption, incompetence, and dirty politics that have marked the aftermath of both hurricanes to pass through the area this summer. Thus, many people find themselves with a wish that it never happened... or, that it never happen again, even if it means erasing even the vestiges of NO and starting over.Even if your viewpoint doesn't match the one described above, certainly I'm sure you can relate to the wishful thinking about erasing the whole event. Still, for those of you who stuck around, or went back, and are now actively engaged in rebuilding, renewing, restoring or replacing what was... That attitude may be more than a little discouraging. As for me... courage, man. My prayers and wishes are with ya, keep up the good fight.

Re: [WISPA] BellSouth rescinds N.O. donation
Two sides to every story. Should BST donate the Building? Absolutely and without politics. But just like in the LUS case, Bill Oliver threatened to close the Cingular Call Center in Lafayette if the muni fiber network was built. The Call Center received state and parish tax incentives, btw. And BST is suing again in the LUS case. Is BST really that scared of a wi-fi network? Or is it another knee jerk reaction to any competition? BST has lost many millions this hurricane season. Without a merger partner to dance with, maybe they are all cracking under the pressure from ATT, VZ, W-Fi, Cablecos, and VoIP. (TW just added its 1M VoIP customer with 75% of customers being triple-play, although if they take TW's Digital Voice offering they have to be triple-play since you can't get stand alone RR - you have to get Basic Cable).
