I think it's going to be important for WISPA to educate the government and the public so they learn to differentiate between broadband FIXED wireless Internet access and MOBILE (i.e. cellular) wireless Internet access. If we don't differentiate these two different services then the grants (and the service) definitions can become and remain muddied. We already made this point once in public at the Las Vegas hearing but IMHO we really need to keep bringing this point up. No one else seems to be making it.

The worst thing I saw about it was.... 3G cellular service appears to 
disqualify an area from being eligible for funding, based on definition of 
underserved.

An area is eligible for underserved if it does not have a provider offering 
over 3mbps down stream. However, without conditions for upload, or mandating 
average, or considering wired only, 3G kills us because 3G is spec'd at 3.1 
peak download. WISPA lobbied for 2mb upload and speeds based on average. We 
didn't get that. :-(
