[WISPA] Open Meeting on 700 MHz

[John Scrivner]

Apparently there is a meeting scheduled today, April 25, at the FCC over 
how the 700 MHz band is going to be split up for auction. It amazes me 
how we can be kept in the dark about these meetings. If anyone can tell 
me how to get included on announcements of such meetings I need to know 
about it. This really angers me that we are not there with some 
representation today. If anyone reads this who is near the DC area 
please go to this meeting and tell them we need spectrum to be made 
available on a base station license basis. They need to auction off 
individual base station licenses or reserve some for a flat fee so all 
of us can compete. If they do not then hundreds if not thousands of 
operators who are now serving rural broadband will not be able to 
compete. This is an anti-competitive problem that the FCC needs to 
address with this auction. This is a big deal. If we do not get some 700 
MHz or similar sub- 1 GHz spectrum it is going to be very bad for us all.
