I'm sure the FCC wants to preview all comments before they make them public to keep spammers out. I look forward to reading your comments Randy.

I put one in this morning (and didn't bother to record the confirmation number), but don't see it there yet.

Go to http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/input?z=vd7pb and search for 04-186 to read other WISP comments. More importantly, get your comments filed pronto. The deadline is September 16, 2010. We need a good showing from the WISP industry to substantiate the importance of our industry in the decision making process. This is not about WISPA, it is about your future and the WISP industry. All WISPs, This week, WISPA filed comments on the TV Whitespaces once again. The FCC is set to make decisions on this crucial topic very soon. It is imperative for all operators to take a few minutes and file individual comments to the FCC about Unlicensed use of the TV Whitespaces spectrum this week. Please don't procrastinate as the timeline is fairly short. I have attached a template support letter that Jack Unger has written to make your support and comment filing easier. Jack, Steve Coran and the FCC committee has worked hard for several years and especially in our recent filing. We need to support their hard work efforts and produce a mass support campaign to give the WISPA filing even more credibility. WISPs need more spectrum and we need spectrum that will penetrate foliage and other obstacles. This is our opportunity and essentially our obligation to stand up for our needs before this crucial decision is made. The WISPA filing can be read at <http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7020911589> http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7020911589. Please customize the attached template letter with your company information and if you want to add additional "local" flavor, it is accepted. The FCC staff will read each letter and register the support for the WISPA filing to assist them in making this tough decision. We have received excellent comments back from the FCC, other trade associations and manufacturers about this filing and now our membership and industry participants need to stand up and be counted as well. Once you have customized the letter, please make a .pdf copy or a .doc file and upload it at the following website. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=rhroc. If you choose not to use the WISPA template letter but want to write your own comments, you can either follow the previous procedure or use the Express filing method at http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=nc5cd. The proceeding number is 04-186. I cannot stress how important this is for each WISP company to do. I hope to search the filings Monday morning and find 1000 or more new comments supporting the WISPA filing. Take the time and "git r dun" before your busy work schedule begins again Monday morning.
