Exactly. As I said earlier, the free money is sure to have a bunch of Joe blows and hucksters emerge as "Wireless Internet" companies only to do such a poor and uncaring job that it will give the rest of us a black eye and a bad taste in the mouth of future customers. Time will tell and with everything else, there isn't much we can do as far as that goes. WISPA has indeed done a very good job in making our positions known on the whitespace and for that I'm grateful. At least we have a voice.

Now some law says the IRS has to run a running business to try to repay the government for back taxes or incase the owner wins it back on appeal.) Now as a sales person, I think the two easiest things to sell LEGALLY would be whiskey and well, "you know what". THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS.... Only my opinion here; They should capitalize on what they are extremely good at, THE DESTRUCTION BUSINESS! Come to think of it, this may be part of the internet take over/ destruction. I nominate Jack for CZAR, he's got the moustache!
