If Matt doesn't have zip codes of the coverage areas, there is a 10 mile circle drawn around the office address I believe. That is why it is important that everyone registers there zip codes. I would like to see that map turn YELLOW over the next few weeks.

Ben Wiechman From: motorola-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:motorola-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Rick Harnish Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:20 PM To: memb...@wispa.org; 'Motorola Canopy User Group' Subject: Re: [Motorola II] [WISPA Members] Lobbying Donations So Far Jason, First Question: This lobbying effort is to guide the policy and rules that are written once the Broadband Stimulus Act is passed through Congress, which the Obama Administration wants done by Feb. 16th. I don't know anything about a bailout plan. Our lobbying efforts will try to insure that at least a portion of the funding granted by this act will be reserved for small to medium size companies and we will also be seeking to identify WISPs as credible Broadband providers in many underserved areas of the country. All of our efforts will be to support the WISP industry as the various Government departments work through Second Question: We are working in partnership with WISP Directory and Brian Webster's Wireless Mapping to get a better idea on the actual WISP coverage across the United States. We need all WISPs to go to www.wispdirectory.com and check their company information and add the zip codes they cover. Once those records are updated, Matt Larsen sends the info to Brian and he generates a estimated coverage map by drawing circles around the center of each zip code reported. It is not perfect by any means but it is aggregate data that we can use to prove the scope of our industry to politicians. Third Question: Would you be willing to write some survey questions and send them to me? I'm not entirely sure what you are looking to accomplish but survey's are excellent tools to do this type of study.

I've done a bit of research and can't find any timely data specific to WISPs. Maybe a survey of WISPA members would be in order?
