The ones listed are good, but it takes a variety to get people to come back. No one's gonna spend the money that ISPCon costs just to hear the same things over again. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "George" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 8:13 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Anyone Willing to Speak?
