For those interested in how easy the process is, the FCC has a good amount
of information available.

Felix,
Yes, a "Citizen at Large" can provide comment and the concept of
"public-private" networks with WISPs would make a very powerful argument
in support.
Thanks
Mike

Mike - Can "Citizens at Large" provide comment too? I
am involved in volunteer wireless project for a local
school district in my area. The CTO is always seeking
ways to do wireless on a limited budget. We already
have problems with interference in a confined urban
space and hypothesized a licenced 802.16 with a local
WiSP network would help define a "public-private"
network for the students. It is just hypothetical but
I can see the reasoning in support of comments for
this declaration at the FCC.
Any thoughts apreciated.

Last week the FCC1 issued a Public Notice seeking
comments on Wireless
Strategies request for a declaratory ruling
regarding (concurrent)
coordination of microwave links under Part 101 of
the Commission's
rules.
The amount of microwave spectrum is finite and it is
in everyone's
interest to seek ways to increase the effective use
the existing
spectrum. Unfortunately, there may be those who have
a vested interest
in maintaining the status quo and who will attempt
to stifle innovation.
Innovation is one of the few ways that small
companies can compete with
large established companies and that is why we
believe this is a one
time opportunity for WISPs to join the big league as
regards the ability
to obtain licensed spectrum which can support low
cost 802.16-based
(WiMax) equipment with small antenna elements to
provide licensed
backhaul and broadband services to hundreds of
additional subscribers,
through frequency reuse without causing any
additional harmful
interference.
It would be a great help if WISPA as a group and
individual WISPs file
comments in support of the request for a declaratory
ruling, especially
as there is everything to gain and nothing to lose.
The Comment deadline is July 19, 2007. Comments can
be filed via the
FCC's ECFS or by regular mail. Details are on the
FCC's web site.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
