John Scrivner said " I think we can assume from this point forward that Mark wants nothing to do with this effort other than to derail the process if possible. I assure you we are trying to do our best to balance the needs of the government and the needs of our WISP operators who we serve."
John - with all due respect - I do not "assume" or "think" or "believe" Mark is trying to derail the process. Mark has a valid point and he sees things from a different perspective sometimes. That is what makes us more powerful as a group of operators is to have insight and thoughts and opinions from as many different people as possible. Some people may not like or agree with what Mark has said - but the same people that personally attacked him over this issue, have in the past said some really stupid remarks / comments as well and from them.

How much more representation can you have? I have not heard anything but supportive efforts coming from WISPA and the government officials we have spoken to about this. There is no conspiracy to do anything but stop the bad guys. I don't want people using my network to hurt other people so from that standpoint I think there can be positive effects of this. I do not like to see government snooping but I do not know how else they can find and stop criminals who use the Internet. Any other scenario I can think of seems worse than what is being proposed. That is the agenda. If anyone has questions they think are worthy of response from the FBI please send them on to this list. George will be going there to get us a path for developing a standard by which our fellow WISP operators can run their businesss without giving too much thought to CALEA. The only people who will go broke because of CALEA will be those who refuse to follow the law. For those people I am guessing CALEA will be only one factor which leads to their demise.
