I didn't read it all, just scanned a bit and read some summaries, but there's NOTHING GOOD in it for us. Not much good in it for consumers, either.
Basically, the FCC is gunning for the big bucks on the spectrum auction and there's NO spectrum considered, as best I can tell, for use for small WISP use. Rather, it's regionally and market sized auctions for the most part, and then something or other about cellular market auctions. I dunno what all those mean, but I can predict it's nothing I'll ever get to use. Too bad. The same financial and practical reasons that have slowed telco and cablco broadband to the thinly populated areas will result in this just being another overlay of services on top of places already served, and unlikely to be any more cost effective than any other services now out there, and likely less. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marlon K.
