Several felt it's got some errors that need fixing. Feel free to fix this, toss it and start over. Anything at all. But right now, officially, we're doing NOTHING. And that must change guys.

Right now I've got some access to some in congress and I think we should work with that! laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage) Consulting services 42846865 (icq) And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Scrivner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 10:25 AM Subject: [WISPA] Universal Service Fund > Marlon has been asking us for a while to give him feedback on > Universal > Service.
