We need more volunteer ism from this group. A lot of us are here just reading the list getting good ideas and advice and not really doing much to contribute to wispa as an association or industry group.
Here is a situation where the feds are going to add regulation to your business. You, me, we, are going to have to now start being told what we can and can not do. How to operate our networks and systems. This is bad, we for the most part, have been in an unregulated industry with no ball and chains of the bureaucracy. We've been free to do what we want any way we want it. Are we doing anything about this? Why not? Because not enough people have stepped up to get involved and help out. WISPA needs your help and participation. We have created various committees to handle issues or projects. Some committees are extremely helpful and successful while others are pretty much weak because there isn't enough people helping. One committee is the FCC committee. It's been weak with volunteer ism and activity. There's hardly anyone there to do anything. If there was more people contributing, we would have the ability to do more. Soon WISPA will be sending a group to meet with the FCC. Have any of you spoken up and conveyed your thoughts on what we should be discussing with the FCC? How many of you know who is the committee chair for WISPA's FCC Committee? Do you know what we will be discussing with the FCC? The time is now to get active. Please step up and get involved. Jack Unger [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the new FCC committee chair. Email him for access to the FCC committee. WISPA needs your help Sincerely George "We are here facing these problems because of a failure of FCC policy," said Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig. "The FCC has failed to make it absolutely clear that network owners, if they're building the Internet, have to make it absolutely open." Martin hinted the FCC might fashion an order to regulate if and how ISPs can throttle Internet traffic. He said ISPs must adequately disclose their practices and should not discriminate on an application or protocol basis. "There must be adequate disclosure by the network operators of the particular traffic-management tools being used," Martin said, "not only to consumers," but "to the designers of various applications and to entrepreneurs." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20080418/tc_nf/59366;_ylt=Ah8zBvr.BIIg7JyliYe7WXj6VbIF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
