MKS592 KATRINA DEMONSTRATES FAILURE OF CURRENT U.S. SPECTRUM POLICY
MKS592 (WASHINGTON--September 9, 2005) In recent days the
MKS592 press has extensively covered the telecommunications breakdown
MKS592 in New Orleans and the attempts of telephone, cable, and
MKS592 broadcast companies to reinstate service and help disaster
MKS592 victims. What has not been covered as extensively in the
MKS592 media is the lack of communications at dozens of rural
MKS592 Louisiana shelters and the efforts of Wireless Internet
MKS592 Service Providers (WISPs), which use unlicensed spectrum, to
MKS592 address this problem.
MKS592 Earlier this week, such stories were featured at a
MKS592 Capitol Hill forum sponsored by the New America Foundation and
MKS592 the Congressional Future of American Media Caucus. Rep. Diane
MKS592 Watson, D-CA, bemoaned the lack of telecommunications
MKS592 services after the storm and said that it pointed to the
MKS592 serious failure and the lack of preparedness in our nation's
MKS592 telecommunications policy. New America Foundation Vice
MKS592 President Michael Calabrese added, It is simply not
MKS592 affordable anytime soon to be stringing fiber lines to rural
MKS592 areas, but wireless networks can provide broadband
MKS592 communications services very quickly and inexpensively.
MKS592 As New Orleans is being evacuated, thousands of
MKS592 evacuees are streaming out into the countryside where churches
MKS592 and communities have set up shelters to take care of them.
MKS592 Unfortunately, many of these shelters lack telecommunications
MKS592 service. Responding to this need, dozens of rural WISPs have
MKS592 poured into rural Louisiana to help out.
MKS592 As of midday Thursday, WISPs were providing service
MKS592 to more than 1,100 evacuees at the following shelters: Mangham
MKS592 Baptist (Mangham, LA), Delhi Civic Center (Delhi, LA), Baskin
MKS592 First Baptist (Baskin, LA), Grace Fellowship (Baskin, LA),
MKS592 River of Life Church (Winnsboro, LA), Tallulah Community
MKS592 Center (Tallulah, LA), and Parkview Baptist (Richmond, LA).
MKS592 The following shelters were also expected to get service by
MKS592 the end of the day: King's Camp (Mer Rouge, LA), Richland
MKS592 Baptist Encampment (Alto, LA), Antioch Baptist (Rayville,
MKS592 LA), and Archibald Church of God (Archibald, LA).
