If you ALL joined one organization you would have a well-funded group to fight this.

But most ISP's, WISP's, Hosts, and VoIP Providers don't pay for membership any where. Great at bitching. Champion, PhD bitching, but actually put up time and money to make one single org work, not so much.

This industry - if you can even call it that - has a myriad of organizations mainly due to strong independent feelings. So instead of one really strong group representing, you have a scattering of smaller, less powerful associations. AASP, FISPA, Part-15, WISPA, TISPA, et al.

CLEC's used to have that problem with ALTS, ASCENT and a couple of others. Now they have just enough members for one - one really weak one.

Excellent analogy. The difference being that there's WalMart and Kmart and hundreds of other well funded retailers with lawyers who'll tell them to stuff it. The little guys get nailed instead, because we haven't got a raft of lawyers waiting around on retainer for something to do.
