Re: [WISPA] What do you think?

I was wondering when WISPs were going to WAKE UP to the backbone 
providers both setting the tolls AND operating the toll booths.


Looks like it's -

1. Kiss up
2. Pay up, or
3. Turn around and bend over.

Remember the old saying - The big fish eat the little fish

opportunity for me.  An advantage for me.

If backbone providers do this, we're all screwed.

I think if you haven't already contacted your Congress critter about
this, you should do it first thing in the morning.
