>From the article: "The big cable providers also want to target "underserved" areas, where there is only one broadband provider or the service isn't widely available. In those markets, companies would get incentives to build out next-generation services. The download speed that would qualify as next-generation would likely be in the range of 40 to 50 megabits per second, people involved in the discussions say."
What this means, is that if YOU are the sole provider, the cable and fiber guys can get subsidized to come and put you out of business. When you get government involved , EVERYONE will lose. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:59 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Congress may help smaller ISPs grow > Let us hope that with the push for more broadband accessibility we get > more > spectrum!!! > > Josh Luthman > Office: 937-552-2340 > Direct: 937-552-2343 > 1100 Wayne St > Suite 1337 > Troy, OH 45373 > > Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. > --- Henry Spencer > > > On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 1:56 PM, chris cooper > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> >> And your chainsaws- going to need to cut some mighty big holes in the >> air to fit all the needed spectrum into.... >> >> Chris >> >> That article states they want to define "broadband" as 5Mbps, and some >> folks suggest 10Mbps.
