what we really need is a big map, in ross perot style. showing the areas
wisps have reconnected currently and planned in the next 2 weeks.
we need a chart or slide with how many voip calls have been completed. How
many people have been connected/reunited. How many sqare miles are covered.
any fact with big impressive numbers. Bullet points with how nimble and
quickly a small group can act. Thinks what the wisps could do with the 400
million that the telcos are going to spend. I don't know if this
presentation is about fund the rebuild, but if it is we need to point out
what could be done with more support from the fcc. with out sounding like
we are whining.
just some thoughts

I agree that a wireless feed is not appropriate under normal situations
but
that's not what we're talking about here. I would say using a wireless
feed
to connect video down there (especially since all other communications are
down) would be a very powerful tool to tell the story of what is happening
and what you guys and our industry can offer. Brad

Done a zillion remote meetings using streaming video/audio. Not
appropriate
for an FCC presentation.
Come on, guys. The real issue is "what" is said, not "who" is saying it.
What you need to do is to have WISPA leadership collaborate with P-15
leadership to come to mutual agreement on "what" is presented. That will
suit everyone's needs. But beware: Do not settle for simply "providing
material" as a substitute. Submitting material to another group to use or
not use as they see fit will not represent your interests, guaranteed.
What's called for is a collaboration and sign-off on what is presented.
It
doesn't have to be face-to-face ... people remotely email revisions back &
forth on an every day, hour, or even minute basis in collaborative
construction. This can work, only if there's someone in your group
willing
to collaborate to make it happen (and both parties are willing to see that
it's accomplished). The issue of "who" does the presentation may be set
in
stone, but if both parties are willing to agree that "what" is presented
should be agreeable to both, it can happen.

I know Matt has been away from home a bunch lately but I think we should
send Matt Larsen to this FCC event if he will go. We can take the $500
from Charles as part of the expense and have WISPA cover the rest. I
think we need a front line guy to speak at this event. I think we should
ask Michael to introduce Matt and yield a bit of his time if the FCC
will not grant Matt his own time. This shows unity between industry
groups and gives Part-15 and WISPA both an opportunity to show our
efforts in helping those in need. Thoughts?
Scriv
I agree that Matt would do well if he could find someone to talk to.
And he would be in the top of the list of people I would want to go to
Washington and represent us.
However, Marlon, if he has the time, has experience of "roaming the
halls of the FCC" looking for someone to talk to.
Maybe Marlon would be a better choice in this instance?
WISPA hasn't been formally invited to talk to the FCC people, so the
person that goes will need to cold call, which might be difficult to do.
I think this is the perfect time to talk to Washington, and make sure or
reinforce that it was WISPA quick actions that got phone, broadband,
and computers into the hands of the displaced. Mac Dearman and WISPA
were "First Responders"
We need to make sure that we get this credit right away. As time passes
on, a lot will be forgotten and it will be much harder to get the type
of exposure we now deserve.
It would also be good to sometime in the future have a special trip to
Washington for the member wisps of wispa who were effected and those who
volunteered the time and effort to be quick responders.
Guys like Mac need to be recognized for their quick actions, especially
in light of how slow it took the government to respond.
Just my thoughts.
George
