Or fear that their competition is watching... it's bad enough I have my
competitors actually climbing my towers to see what equipment I am
using... it's hard to give any more info here... :(

We used to have lots of wisps discussing this stuff in detail, not any
longer.

This has become a ridiculous thread. Dawn's customer experience is
irrelevant in this case. Plenty of operators who have lots of
customers (including me) understand and agree with the position
presented. Don't kill the messenger! The FCC makes the rules; not
Dawn or me or any of the other folks who have made accurate
statements regarding certification. Use of certified equipment is
required by law. Many people break laws for a variety of reasons, but
that doesn't change the law. For example, everyday I drive over the
speed limit and occasionally I am fined for doing so.

Well, it's a lot like having a medical intern weigh in on what a
resident is
more qualified to answer. Certainly the intern is not to be
considered a
dummy, but the intern's general lack of tenure, real world
experience and
overall knowledge can not be considered equal to an experienced
resident.
Questioning your ISP experience and specifically your fixed wireless
experience is certainly relevant to this discussion. Anyone that
has scaled
their operation beyond a few dozen or even a few hundred clients
knows the
difficulty and complexity is compounded. It is quite a different
animal to
run an ISP with several thousand users behind it as compared to a few
hundred.
No offense is intended Dawn. I enjoy reading your posts and agree
with your
FCC Certification Crusade, but until you have walked a mile (or more
in many
cases) in the shoes of those you are speaking of many will rightly
question
what you offer here as the gospel.
Best,
Brad

George,
As I said in my post wireless providers do not get to decide what
has to be certified this is up to the FCC and if there are any
questions they need to be clarified not argued against which seems
to be the norm among some on this list.
How would the number of customers I had on my network have any
bearing on this discussion?

Dawn,
Just how many wisp customers did you have in your short career as a
wisp?
Why is it that some people who don't actually participate in
running a wireless service want to come in and try to tell us how
to run our wisps?

All,
I have come to the conclusion that there are some on this list
that think FCC certification is up for debate. There may be a need
for clarification in some cases but like it or not the FCC has the
final say in what can and cannot be certified.

Dawn DiPietro
