Don't misinterpret this as suggesting not to file, as I believe one should
file for various reasons. But I disagree with statements and the reason to
file are different.
First, At a FCC/WISP meeting, I remember a very enlightening presentation
from Patrick Leary. The key statement was "Where Wireless goes, DSL
follows". Its more true than we can imagine. Only thing is, In upcomming
years its going to be, "Where Small Wireless providers go, FIOS and/or ILEC
WIMAX deployments follow". Nobody appreciate an unserved market, until you
see your competition wanting it and profiting from it. History has proved,
you kill your competition before they grow strong enough to be a threat.
They won;t take the small WISP approach to go where no one has served yet.
They will take the Mcdonalds/Wendy's approach of using our data to find the
most profitable areas to serve, where they can take the business from WISPs.
Executive's Ego's are involved, and they don't like to see others outshining
them Provide Form477 info publically, so competitors can see it in detail,
It will be damaging.
(Unless of course the informatioin disclosed shows no real threat in terms
of volume)
The reason Form 477 should be filed is that its not meant for public eyes.
Its meant for the FCC, so they can make intelligent decission with that
inforamtion, to foster growth in the industry for consumers benefit. The FCC
already knows WISPs are a major player now in theory. But they need proof to
backup opinion. Form 477 helps provide that.
There is not a viable compromise on this issue. We need the FCC to have this
information, and we need the info to be held in confidence. The Law and
Fines are irrelevent as the goal is NOT to not file. The goal is to support
confidentiality.
Just my 2 cents.

Sort of odd that last time I filed and I received no such notice to renew.

I'm not particularly worried about my info getting into anyone's hands.
I've got nothing to hide. We'll fill it out again. I'm far more worried
about the fines than competitors learning anything useful from the 477.
Someone else brought up a great point. You can't market your company and
stay hidden. If anyone's looking at your area for anything at all they'll
find out all about you anyway. Unless you don't want customers to ever
hear
about you :-).
