Hi All,
OK, we're not going to get most wisps to fill out the 477 any time soon. At
least it's historically looking that way.
2 years ago I brow beat the major vendors and manufacturers into giving me
the number of wisps that they show on the books and/or radios sold into the
US market in the last 4 years.
That effort lead to the belief that there are a genuine uncontestable 3000
wisps in this country with a minimum of 1,000,000 subscribers. Numbers that
the FCC folks still use today as being more accurate than the 477.
Does anyone know of a research group that we could hire to repeat my efforts
in the past. Something that might be more effective yet? There has to be a
better way to do this than the 477.
Any ideas on the costs to do this project? Should we even put any effort
into it?
Could this be done by a group of scholars at a college?
Looking back on the data that I'd gotten at the time and how I calculated
things, I think that the real number of wisps was likely closer to 6000.
Today my gut tells me that that number is up by 25ish % and that the
customers serviced is likely at least double what it was back in late 2004.
I know MY customer base has more than doubled since that time.
thoughts?
