Re: [WISPA] [Motorola II] [WISPA Members] Wireless Mapping Website
If a WISP has a version of their network footprint drawn in Google Earth or as a KML/KMZ file I can accept that directly. Keep in mind this map is not automatically created. I have to do the overlay by hand. If you send me an update I may very well wait until there are other updates before I create a new version of the map.

Probably not as often as it should be. Matt sent me an updated zip code list a couple of days ago and I'm in the process of updating the map.

Sorry Guys, I forgot to post the website. http://www.wirelessmapping.com/Google%20Maps3.htm From: motorola-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:motorola-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Rick Harnish Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 1:47 PM To: 'Motorola Canopy User Group'; memb...@wispa.org; 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [Motorola II] [WISPA Members] Lobbying Donations So Far Here is what has been documented so far. If Matt doesn't have zip codes of the coverage areas, there is a 10 mile circle drawn around the office address I believe. That is why it is important that everyone registers there zip codes. I would like to see that map turn YELLOW over the next few weeks. From: motorola-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:motorola-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Ben Wiechman Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 1:29 PM To: 'Motorola Canopy User Group' Subject: Re: [Motorola II] [WISPA Members] Lobbying Donations So Far Is there a working copy of Brian's map available for us to verify coverage that we have entered into the directory and ensure accuracy? Ben Wiechman From: motorola-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:motorola-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Rick Harnish Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:20 PM To: memb...@wispa.org; 'Motorola Canopy User Group' Subject: Re: [Motorola II] [WISPA Members] Lobbying Donations So Far Jason, First Question: This lobbying effort is to guide the policy and rules that are written once the Broadband Stimulus Act is passed through Congress, which the Obama Administration wants done by Feb. 16th. I don't know anything about a bailout plan. Our lobbying efforts will try to insure that at least a portion of the funding granted by this act will be reserved for small to medium size companies and we will also be seeking to identify WISPs as credible Broadband providers in many underserved areas of the country. All of our efforts will be to support the WISP industry as the various Government departments work through Second Question: We are working in partnership with WISP Directory and Brian Webster's Wireless Mapping to get a better idea on the actual WISP coverage across the United States. We need all WISPs to go to www.wispdirectory.com and check their company information and add the zip codes they cover. Once those records are updated, Matt Larsen sends the info to Brian and he generates a estimated coverage map by drawing circles around the center of each zip code reported. It is not perfect by any means but it is aggregate data that we can use to prove the scope of our industry to politicians. Third Question: Would you be willing to write some survey questions and send them to me? I'm not entirely sure what you are looking to accomplish but survey's are excellent tools to do this type of study.

I've done a bit of research and can't find any timely data specific to WISPs. Maybe a survey of WISPA members would be in order? Jason WISPA Wants You!
