Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan
Does this mean our 477 forms are going to be more complicated? Will we need to figure out the correct census tract for each of our customers? And I looked up the tract that I live in (quickly, at http:// factfinder.census.gov/servlet/AGSGeoAddressServlet ). It seems to be tract #314.01, about 10 miles across by 5 miles high. I don't see that as more accurate than zip code. Not meaning to criticize this change/improvement. Just looking for more details. -John On March 19, at 10:11 PM March 19, George Rogato wrote: http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20080319/tc_pcworld/ 143619;_ylt=Arm6Nh.9uPFRIzMCaVig6nMjtBAF The new plan would measure broadband availability by Census tract, a geographic area that's typically significantly smaller than a Zip Code.

Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan
John, I just pulled that off the FCC Newsletter today. You know as much as I do at this time. I thought everyone would be interested in knowing what is probably coming.

Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan
http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/AGSGeoAddressServlet?_lang=en_programYear=50_treeId=420 That's a better address, I hope. Go to the FactFinder site and click on the search address link on the left side. I'm in tract 15. There appears to be at least 4 tracts in my zip code, maybe 8. I currently file 477, but they better provide a better solution than the FactFinder site if they expect us to do this. I don't have that many customers, but I refuse to look this up for each customer this way. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: John Valenti [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:56 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan Does this mean our 477 forms are going to be more complicated?

Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan
If this gets to be a big problem I can come up with an easy solution to batch process your customer list. I would do this for WISPA Paid members so this would be another good reason to join.
