Seems like this scenario was the biggest argument against the form.  Not 
that we can do much.  It's the law.

With an extremly small percentage of Wisp's filling the numbers will be way
off anyway. I personally do not think my client count is anyones business
other than staff. I kinda wish I never would have filed now.

Re: [WISPA] Form 477 goes public????

I wonder how or if the privacy checkbox will effect the released data if 
they win.


Also the information will be relatively worthless for what these people 
are supposedly looking for.  When the form is filled out, we only report 
total numbers and zip codes covered.  Granted if you serve only 1 zip 
code then it is obvious where your customers are.  Even in my small 
coverage area I serve 4 zip codes and only one of them has any 
substatial number of customers.


What I will find disturbing is if they are successful in getting my 
customer count released.  So what if I find out that Qwest has umpteen 
billion DSL customers and they serve my zip code.  I already knew that.  
However if Qwest of any of the miriade of resellers can see that I have 
X customers in my area they may decide that marketing there is now a 
good idea because of the uptake potential.
