Mark- No, I am just asking about your true opinion of the regulators - the FCC - which is the subject of both of your statements. Or are you somehow referring to two different sets of rule-setting fruits?
In the first, you suggest that they have ever-changing and "obviously subject to whatever breeze blows through DC." In the second, you seem to think they are rigid in their ways, that "They don't like changing them... they resist that, because it's untidy". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Koskenmaki Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 3:07 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: Regulators: Fickle or Not WAS: RE: [WISPA] was School WiFi , about technical values. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Herrmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 12:20 PM Subject: Regulators: Fickle or Not WAS: RE: [WISPA] was School WiFi ,about technical values. > Mark- > > Which is it? > > Quote 1: > > Shaky is the term I used, because this classification isn't law, just FCC > opinion.

It is the FCC's opinion that we're subject to CALEA. At one time, they had the opposite opinion. Their opinion is all that keeps us from being fully regulated and untaxed like the phone companies are. Now that they have inconsistency in that classification, pressure to change others is much more effective. Quote 2 is about published and established rules. They don't like changing them... they resist that, because it's untidy. Every rule change has unintended consequences, and government never likes unknowns. > > Rick > > > -- > WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org > > Subscribe/Unsubscribe: > http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless > > Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
