For digital couldn't they just figure out the capacity of the system,
provide 5% of that to any and all educational institutions by giving them
guaranteed capacity that adds up to the 5%?

I need some information as to how Clear (Clearwire) is fulfilling their
subleasing requirements in the EBS band.

The rules state the following:

1. There must be a minimum of 20 hours per 6 MHz channel per week of
educational use of EBS spectrum.
2. For analog facilities, EBS licensees must retain a right to recapture
an additional amount of 20 more hours per channel per week capacity for
educational purposes.
3. For digital facilities, the EBS licensee must reserve at least 5% of
its transmission capacity for educational purposes.

Can anyone tell me how Clear is fulfilling these rules?

The EBS band consists of 4 6mhz chunks. 5% is around 1mhz. That's easily 
achievable I guess. I'm more concerned about rule #1. I can't see Clear 
providing Educational Services to these schools. I smell a loophole 
somewhere.

Or the cash equivlent?

I can't wait to see what happens in...oh...6 years or so when these  
school boards renegotiate the 10 year subleases of this spectrum.

Could be an interesting and lucrative time for those districts that  
are getting peanuts for rent of thier spectrum.

Re: [WISPA] EBS Licensing

2010-01-21 Thread Ryan Spott
Heh,

I used to be a technology coordinator for a k-12 school district. When
I got there they had never used the Internet or email, or anything.

After we got a fractional T1 in place (128kbps! WOOT!) I did some
inservice training for some teachers. One of them started griping
about how the internet was just the CB of the 90s, a place to find
porn, where pornographers hung out etc...

It took me about 10 minutes to calm down and inform this person and
the other staff that it was very hard to use yahoo and unsuspectingly
find porn.. and all of the screens faced the center of the room etc,
etc, etc.. not a problem.

So we all open yahoo and I ask the staffers to find curriculum
specific information to help them with their lesson plans.

The rabble rouser searched for a very curriculum appropriate black holes...


Yeah... *sigh* I almost quit.
