Here is the original post along with the list to call on (and a few more
thoughts from me). If they ask if you called your Illinois Senators then
you should probably tell them that Illinois does not have any Senators
on the Commerce Committee last you checked. Then maybe they will
understand why we are calling Senators from other states.
Last I checked the legislation created by those lucky few Senators in
the Commerce Committee were supposed to represent the interests of the
nation over their own constituencies. But I digress. The fact is you are
one of as many as 5000 WISPs in the US who are at the forefront of
broadband delivery to the underserved and rural areas where nobody else
serves. We need good spectrum to serve the 60% of potential customers we
cannot with the lower power, higher frequency spectrum we have now. TV
Whitespaces are critical to the future of broadband deployment in this
country. It is the most important thing our Congress can do to help
speed access to low cost broadband nationwide today.
Make sure you tell them this at a minimum...You support the Wireless
Innovation Act (or WIN Act) of 2006 portion of the Telecom Bill and you
DO NOT support the DeMint Amendment which would force all TV Whitespaces
to be auctioned.
Thanks,

Any chance that list is still floating around that could be reposted? Or
just let me know who to get a hold of in our wonderful state of IL.
Thanks,

I guess I will answer my own post again. Am I the only guy who called
these Senators after we all put together the list of every member of the
US Senate Commerce Committee and their phone numbers? You can lead a
horse to water...
