Mr. Hush,
Excellent plan. What agenda item will you be working on first?
SUGGESTIONS of what to do:
1) Inform the AP / UPI that as an industry group, we have decided
to stage a cyclic disconnect from public Inet in protest.
Any volunteers to write and distribute this Press Release?
2) As a group, inform the subs what we are doing so they are not in
the dark and clueless. Try to recruit their support.
Tell your customers that they are no longer getting Internet?
3) Present to the press the WISPA member total subs count, and ask
for the FCC / Gov to really evaluate the economic impact to GDP per
state / national level that shutting off wisps would result in.
No one knows this number, but you can take the count from the 477 forms.
It was about 2% right?
4) Also, notify NCTA to please issue a revised broadband survey
report with wisp networks removed, thus likely bring the USA from
30th in the world to 40th or 50th in broadband deployment. This MAY
have other consequences such as the world bank / OECD may feel
obligated to stick their noses into the USA political processes.
2-3% won't matter
5) Most IMPORTANTLY... Expend resources to properly investigate,
report, and expose the apparent impropriety that exists in telco /
cableco lobby connections to the DOJ and SEC.
Budget???
6) Begin in an honest effort to negotiate / create secured WIRELESS
and/or wholly operator owned wired interconnects amongst WISPA/CLEC
networks.
??
7) Publish ideas for encouraging CO-OP style community network
ownership.
