And that was 2004.
I'm not arguing just to argue. This is a soapbox, so delete and move on
if you want.
When you go to the Feds and say that there are 6000 and only 400 have
reported, that doesn't bode well for anyone.
It makes the Feds nervous. It shines an ugly light on this so-called
Industry.
As Powell has stated it is way easier to deal with 12 companies using
the same platforms than 1000's using many platforms. And Gonzo and
K-Mart feel the same way (since they take their cues from the Roving 3).
And when the gov't wants control and CALEA and surveillance and etc. and
they can't get cooperation from this Industry, what do you think will
happen?
They will pick up a pen and wipe it out.
But, Marlon, as I mentioned off-list, going through my Florida ISP
database, about 40% are gone and some that are in business are not an
ISP any longer.

In case you missed it in an earlier email.
I called the top 5 or 6 vendors in the WISP space and pestered them till
they told me how many providers they had on the books as WISPs.
MUCH more accurate than the 477 and a similar or more comprehensive
effort
by the FCC would take someone all over a day or two.
That help?
