I have been talking to him for two months about this. Where did you get that this is an ad? I asked him to post this message to get a feel for how WISPs would respond. He even sent it to me for review prior to sending it out here. I guess I am having trouble understanding why this would be considered an ad. They are looking for support for a declaratory ruling from the FCC on this matter. Mike would like to see WISPA help him on this and I think we should at least consider this.
