Oh lord - here we go - nothing like a good pissin match in the middle of the morning on Friday eh ?
I definitely applaud Mac for providing the Internet and VOIP to the shelters his church has setup for the Refugees. We have 4 or 5 shelters in the area that we are providing "internet" to - no go on VOIP - we are not prepared to do it unfortunately. WISPA does need to stepup and support Part-15.org's efforts as well. To not minimize what Mac or myself or other WISPs down here have done on a SMALL scale, this project Bullit is heading will need help. It's time for you leaders to bury the hatchet and overlook past history for awhile on this one. Scriv helping 1 shelter or supporting the efforts of a major Wireless rollout across 3 states on the coast - well - let's just say - nevermind. Any help that is provided is worth while - I just can't believe that WISPA is so weak that it is ONLY ABLE TO HELP 1 INDIVIDUAL ! Get real man !

I do not care who gets the glory on this. I sent Mac $250. He has put out a call for money, food, equipment and people to help him there today. I am sure there are many people and organizations willing to help and I applaud all their efforts including those of Part-15. Right now I consider Mac's effort in place there to be our effort through WISPA and I think he is our front line and we should support him. I say we all give what we can and let those in place doing the work continue to help. I plan to go there myself and help but I cannot right now. So you ask if WISPA missed the boat? Call one of Mac's shelter VOIP lines and ask the evacuees who answers the phone there if we are helping today through Mac's efforts.
