I retract my previous statement, due to several things on the P15 side of the fence that appear to be ugly.
I don't believe P15 is doing this without self promotion in mind. This is an effort that needs to be thankless, and in THAT fact, it will come out that <a wireless organization> stepped up to the plate, and because of their efforts, a whole lot of people were more comfortable. Imagine, after the city's cleaned up, and we got to collectively KEEP the antenna locations we borrowed to put the network in place, there'd be interviews on tv, etc that asked WISPA officials for their comments on the overall process, and the tag line could be simply "Call WISPA today to find out how they can get a local WISP to help you!" That said, I'm helping Mac and Johnny in their efforts, directly, for the same reason I never give money to the salvation army or the red cross. I want to know where my money / donations are going and what they're being used for. I think a whole lot of people here ought to think real hard about this new-found relationship with P15 that wouldn't exist without tragedy as the underlying cement. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Smith Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 8:28 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up I'm wondering if WISPA has missed the boat for the relief effort. Shouldn't wispa stand behind and work with Part-15 on this one? This isn't a race to look best, but an effort to put WISPs on the map as reliable and trustworthy! http://www.part-15.org/emergencyrelief/equipment.html -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rudolph Worrell Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 5:48 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up I am not sure where you will be getting uplink service to get out to the world from New Orleans but here is a link to someone who may be able to help with that. http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/ Quoting Matt Liotta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I think at this point there is the support needed to provide help for > the hurricane, but we need some organization.
