Ran across this article.. Thought it was a bit humorous.. 

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Government-IT/What-Is-Broadband-FCC-Doesnt-Know-241
331/

This should be something where I think WISPA should try to influence and
educate about fixed wireless.

Interesting article.

<http://www.wirelessweek.com/article.aspx?id=171860>

Perhaps we can use this opportunity to help the FCC and the public 
understand that:

1. Fixed wireless serves a different market than mobile (cellular) wireless.

2. Fixed wireless needs more spectrum (including TV White Space) and 
practical regulations to allow WISPs to provide broadband FIXED wireless 
Internet access effectively and profitably.

Hm...I wonder how much Google had to do with that letter
from the FCC being sent to AT&T???  It pretty funny though, running Google
Voice VoIP over the AT&T signal.  There goes a lot of those fees out the
door if you had unlimited internet but measured voice calls.  

Voice over IP, TV over IP  It's all going that way anyhow.  I just
need to figure out a way to do gas and electric over IP then I can download
cheaper utilities from China.

2009-08-21 Thread Jason Hensley 
Seems to be more focused on the voice side of wireless - in particular the
exclusive contracts of certain phone vendors with certain providers for
certain high-end (and pretty cool) phones that the "smaller" cell companies
don't have available to them (the Pre, iPhone, Curve 8900, basically all the
good ones that have been run by the list this morning).  

But, hopefully this will open an opportunity for us to have one more voice
out there.
