I'm wondering the same thing, Chuck. It is such a good list, so many answers can be had. I am going to try and talk the boss man into paying for it, but I don't know if he will. It's really amazing what he will/wont spend money on...
WISPA should create Vendor specific lists....

Especially at CES. Funny, they are talking up the Sprint roll out but Sprint has bailed. Still smoke and mirrors compared to Canopy but I guess we might as well capitalize on the buzz. While blathering on here, a business mentor told me long ago to contribute to all candidates for local office, not just the one you like. I guess that applies to email lists as well. Not saying I don't like WISPA, just never have taken the time to participate. I believe I am a sponsor but on the home page I don't see any sponsor info. I may not be looking in the right space. In any event, I guess I will be on two lists now. Any bets on what is going to happen to the "other" list? ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Rogato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 8:42 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service >I didn't say we said we were WiMAX.
