Please read this note from our friend Frannie from Free Press. She needs
our help right away! We need to call these Senators.

Hi John and Marlon,
We have a crucial vote this week in the Senate Commerce Committee. The
Committee will vote on the telecom bill (S.2686) - it's not a good bill
in our opinion, but it does include a very good section based on Senator
Allen and Kerry's bill. It would push the FCC to open the white spaces
to unlicensed - we want to protect this section. Senator DeMint has
proposed a bad amendment to the bill which would auction this spectrum -
a very bad amendment.
So... the markup will begin tomorrow and it would be great if the folks
in WISPA could call Senators on the Commerce committee and ask them to:
a) support the current language in the telecom bill, the section is
called the Wireless Innovation Act of 2006'' or the ''WIN Act of 2006'
and
b) oppose the DeMint "Auction The White Spaces Amendment"
Commerce Committee members names and phone numbers are below. I would
focus on members other than Kerry, Allen and DeMint.
Let me know if you have any questions and thanks as always for your help!
Thank you,
Frannie
