Dear Representative Stupak,
I'm writing to support your request on March 14, 2007 asking that the
FCC Commissioners consider a waiver from CALEA regulations for small
broadband providers.
In a nutshell, the costs of complying with the CALEA provisions are far
in excess of what small broadband providers can afford to pay. It is
poor government policy to allow the costs of CALEA compliance to
literally put small broadband providers out of business thereby denying
broadband Internet access to many rural Americans.
Do you plan to introduce legislation that directs the FCC to reconsider
their regulations and to consider the compliance costs when regulating
small Internet access providers?
Please advise me how I can further support your effort to retain
broadband Internet access service for rural Americans.
Thank you for your time, interest, and efforts.
Sincerely,
Jack Unger
P.S. - I am copying this email to the general email list maintained by
the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA.org) to help
as many small ISPs as possible learn about and support your efforts in
their behalf. I will forward your response to this list.
