Re: [WISPA] Broadband Company President Indicted on Federal FraudCharges
I agree with you Blair. Trouble is the .gov money will not be going away. I do my best to make sure I get some since it will be going someplace. I don't have to have that money in order to make it in business. I just do not know why I would let it go to others when it is available to people just like you and me. I have been a recipient in one way or another in 3 out of 4 grants I have been a part of. Here is text from the last one just issued today from the Illinois Digital Divide Elimination Fund: To conclude, we hereby direct that the following proposals be adopted and fully funded: (1) Clearwave Communications LLC d/b/a Delta Communications; (2) Egyptian Internet Services, Inc.; (3) Heartland Communications Internet Services, Inc.; (4) Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative; (5) Mt. Vernon.Net; (6) Northern Illinois Technology Triangle; (7) City of Sullivan; (8) USA Broadband-EI, LLC; (9) ROC-Net Holdings, LLC; and the (10) City of Rock Falls. We direct Staff to execute Grant Agreements, in substantially the form set forth in the RFGP, on the Commission’s behalf with each such applicant, to monitor contract compliance of each applicant with each such Grant Award, to resolve conditional approval matters that we have noted in this order, and to report to us as needed regarding this matter. I just can't let free money go to others when all you have to do is ask for it and send in some paperwork. Scriv Blair Davis wrote: I personally hope that all this .gov money goes away.

Re: [WISPA] Broadband Company President Indicted on Federal FraudCharges
Thats a shame. I believe I've seen that name on the list over the years. Maybe this is just a simple get rich fraud sceme, but maybe there is another side. Maybe it brings home the point, that it takes more cash than to cover hardware costs, to make a company work. Without employees, service can't get installed and supported. Without money, you can't have employees. Without paying well, you can't have good ones. Maybe it takes more than a good interest rate and high line of credit to keep a company operational.

Re: [WISPA] Broadband Company President Indicted on Federal FraudCharges
And I can tell you for a fact, there is more coming. People don't seem to understand if they have this RUS money, they should probably NOT be one of their biggest vendors. IE, a wireless broadband company that buys their widgets from themselfs.. - Original Message - From: "George Rogato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 10:25 AM Subject: [WISPA] Broadband Company President Indicted on Federal FraudCharges defrauding the U.S. Department of Agriculture of more than $1.6 million in connection with a $4.2 million loan related to the expansion of wireless broadband service to rural Minnesota. http://communitydispatch.com/artman/publish/article_6420.shtml -- George Rogato Welcome to WISPA www.wispa.org http://signup.wispa.org/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
