> 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? Could you provide a list of "illegal activities" that have been promoted here? I've been watching this list since the day it started, and aside from some humorous comments, I have never seen anyone promoting "illegal activities". I tried to get WISPA members interested in lobbying the FCC to stop doing this, but it seems they want regulation and taxation... so... So be it. > > 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.
