Seems to be more focused on the voice side of wireless - in particular the exclusive contracts of certain phone vendors with certain providers for certain high-end (and pretty cool) phones that the "smaller" cell companies don't have available to them (the Pre, iPhone, Curve 8900, basically all the good ones that have been run by the list this morning).
But, hopefully this will open an opportunity for us to have one more voice out there. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 12:39 PM To: [email protected]; WISPA General List; WISPA's FCC Committee Subject: [WISPA] FCC Launches Formal Probe of Wireless Industry Interesting article. <http://www.wirelessweek.com/article.aspx?id=171860> Perhaps we can use this opportunity to help the FCC and the public understand that: 1. Fixed wireless serves a different market than mobile (cellular) wireless. 2. Fixed wireless needs more spectrum (including TV White Space) and practical regulations to allow WISPs to provide broadband FIXED wireless Internet access effectively and profitably. jack -- Jack Unger - President, Ask-Wi.Com, Inc.
