Just a thought on that. I don't know where else they would be getting that data from unless they are just pulling it out of the air. With what I've got in the air right now I could do up to 15meg down. With the newer gear coming out we'll be able to do even more than that.
Kinda irks me I guess. Victoria, did you get in on the Missouri Broadband Initiative? -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of St. Louis Broadband Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 10:12 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Says Fixed Wireless Only Delivers 1 Mbps They are not getting it from my form 477. The only 1 Mbps service we offer is upload and that is with a 5 Mbps download.

My guess, though, is that they're pulling this data from the 477 and making assumptions based on that. Most of our customers are 1.5Mbps or less customers so looking at the "raw" 477 data then yes, it would appear that we may not be doing much more than the 1.5meg.

These services have been offered using both licensed spectrum and unlicensed devices. For example, thousands of small Wireless Internet Services Providers (WISPs) provide such wireless broadband at speeds of around one Mbps using unlicensed devices, often in rural areas not served by cable or wireline broadband networks." http://www.broadband.gov/broadband_types.html I talked to them at the NTIA workshop in Memphis about this, but they are still defaming our industry. I have emailed them at the broadband.gov site and think it is a good idea that they hear from more of us. Thanks!
