Part-15/WISPA Cooperative Effort
Rick, I've been on the p-15 list all day, the irc
chat rooms all evening.
There's a tremendous amount of help
offered. Lots of warm bodies and some very good stuff.
One of the things I'd like to address, is that
there are a LOT of us with small businesses who simply haven't the $$$ to
support ourselves going down there. Cisco, Nortel, and
others "volunteer", but they also find themselves on the receiving end of
contracts later that are often highly profitable and more than make up for
thier expenses "donating" stuff to the cause.
We're never going to see such a
thing. What we donate, we do without any chance of
recovery.
That dollar we don't make because we're not
answering our phone, or at the job, or that dollar we spend trying to do the
mission... we'll never see again. This makes those
donations, efforts, and willingness on the part of people I KNOW will feel a
lot of pain over doubly more impressive. None of us will get a
contract from LA, AL, MS, FEMA, or anyone else to do rebuilding.
Michael seems to have what I consider a daunting
task ahead of him - not one I'd step up and take on. Same with
Mac, Jim Patient, and others we've seen. I'd love to donate
to all of these... but my bank account has a - sign in front of the
numbers. I have no money to donate. I don't even know
how I'm going to survive here when I"m NOT in the disaster zone... Oh,
the business bills are paid, I have my bandwidth ,and the leases are
paid... I just don't know if I'll have a home in 2 months.
It's that bad for a bit.
But let me carpool with 2 others to foot the
diesel bill, and I'll take a pickup, barrells of fuel in, and work 18 hour
days. I see the pictures of these people on TV and I cannot help
myself. I am so incredibly better off than them. I
have hope. I know my family is safe. I have a good
future. My world won't change much if I take the time and
go. My business won't be hurt much, if at all, if I go. So
how could I not be willing?
And if I am part of one action, that enables
someone to save one life... it will have all been more than worth it. I
don't need or want my name in any paper, or on any list, or spoken
anywhere. I just want to meet my Maker some day and hear "I was hungry
and you fed me, I was sick and you came to me, I was thirsty and you gave me
drink...I was dying and you helped save my life."
Those of you who are and have given...
you're the epitome of what's good and right in this country.
You're examples to us all.
God Bless...

Cooperative Effort
Mark,
The first task at
hand is to discover what the WISP industry can offer to FEMA and the FCC to
help reestablish the telecommunications infrastructure in the damaged
areas. At this point there is
no command central but we need to make our donations in the next few hours
so that we have an idea how much we can commit to doing in the help
effort. It is time to put your
money, labor or ideas where you mouth is. Make your donation either to the
WISPA paypal account of [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to the links posted
on the WISPA or Part 15 webpages. All of these donations will be
compiled and submitted with a report Michael is writing tonight and tomorrow
morning. I’m sure we will keep
accepting donations and volunteers to help past the noon deadline
tomorrow. This is only the
first step towards creating a plan to rebuild. If you can help, let us know!

Re: [WISPA] Part-15/WISPA Cooperative Effort
yeah, Rick, there's quite a list of needs. Installers, network documenters, network designers, troubleshooters, administrators. people to monitor and configure and diagnose. Tower climbers, fabricators, managers. Go-fer types. Some may just need a resource to find information or help with problems and be at the other end when you're needed. Of course, when the officials get back on what they reallly want... then it'll be "Go, now!" time, and we'll know precisely what needs to be done.
