Steve,
Its great the FCC asked Mike to speak to them. He can only represent
those people and businesses that establish him as their representative.
I have Scriv, Marlon and Rick as well as other WISPA members who
represent my interests. I'm curious to understanding what Mike wants to
speak about as well as seeing whatever materials he's producing for his
5 minute talk. If he'd like to represent me, I'd like to better
understand what his platform is, motivation, interests, previous
qualifications, and so on. This looks like a nice opportunity and if
Marlon could go along and speak for me, that would be great. I know
Marlon, and unfortunately, I don't know Mike, except as a leader of a
for-profit organization which uses FCC part15 as its main interest.
Congratulations to Mike and his company for getting FCC attention. Its
great PR for his company. Whatever he can do to convey that WISPs need
more spectrum, better anti-trust legislation that is to say - some
policing of mega-business policies and better co-ordination among BLM
and FS with WISPs would be wonderful. If he would add his support for
WISPA and suggest that the FCC should support WISPA's non-profit effort
to create a forum for Part15 associated issues and interests would be
greatly appreciated by me.
It would be wonderful to see additional FCC interaction with the WISPA
organization and its membership. Perhaps he could suggest a periodic
meeting between the FCC and WISPA membership?
Thanks for the good news that the FCC is paying attention to
Independents and their representatives. I hope he invites Marlon or at
least mentions that Marlon and WISPA exist and are making good progress.
Cheers,
AH

All:
Michael, as usual, has understated this a bit a bit, so I'll step into
the role of blatant Public Relations once more.
There's a detailed explanation at
http://www.part-15.org/emergencyrelief/fcc.html.
Here's the terse version. Michael Anderson, Chairman of PART-15.ORG
was asked to speak at the upcoming FCC Open Commission Meeting on
Thursday morning.
His speaking slot is 5 minutes.
It's short in time, but a lot of content can be crammed into it,
considering that he can breeze through the PowerPoint slides, talk
fast, and people can look at the replay and the PowerPoint slides in
detail later.
He needs the inputs soon; Monday's gone already. That basically gives
him Tuesday to put an short, effective, "punchy" presentation
together. He flies from Chicago to DC on Wednesday. The more diverse
input he gets, the sooner, the better and more representative the
presentation can be.
It SEEMS likely (we don't know for sure) that this meeting will have
lots of press attending, since it's requested that all the entities
under FCC jurisdiction (telephone, cable, broadcasting, public safety
comms, etc.) do the same sort of presentation. So... we want the WISP
industry to be WELL represented, and it will be with YOUR inputs.
To be clear... CRYSTAL clear... Michael was NOT asked to speak to
represent just PART-15.ORG. He was asked to speak to represent the
WISP industry as a whole.
Michael would like your input. The web page above has some suggestions
for interesting input to Michael.
The form found, linked at the bottom of the web page, (at
http://www.part-15.org/emergencyrelief/report.asp if you'd prefer to
skip reading the long, wordy web page) has additional suggestions on
what to mention.
Photos would be great; again, more info at the two URLs.
Please - take some time out of your activities to provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Steve
