I don't think WISPA should police WISPs. The organization does encourage
conforming to FCC regs, and we've seen numerous postings from Marlon and
others answering difficult rule interpretation. That's the best focus
for our energies as a WISP organization - that is; making FCC links and
docs available where needed, providing liaison between FCC and WISPs to
accomodate WISPs customers needs... That's my stand.

There has been so much talk about this, I might be inclined to help the FCC find those
WISPs that are snubbing their noses at the law. This is a professional list and those
here should be abiding by the law. I wonder if it would be a good thing to "kick
out" those that promote illegal activities?
Whether you like it or not, WISPs will eventually be taxed- I guarantee the
ILECs will see to that. If the FCC wants you, they will eventually find you.

20. Are there penalties for not filing Form 477?
Entities that are required to file Form 477 but fail to do so may be subject
to the
enforcement provisions of the Communications Act and any other applicable
law. In
particular, the Commission has authority pursuant to sections 502 and 503 of
the
Communications Act to enforce compliance by fine or forfeiture.

OK...OK.....
I agree that all should probably file. I have several partners so I am
not the only one to decide so I will leave it at that as it pertains to my
WISP entity.
BUT.......What is the penalty for not filing???? Does anyone know??? Can
we get an official statement for this situation? Are there fines?
Penalty's?? Do you get a nasty gram?? Do they not send me a xmas card
next year?? What???
It may help bring more compliance or it may result in less filings.
Either way I think the membership should know.
Marlon...How about asking some of your contacts.....
