I didn't apply for two main reasons. 1: they want the whole company and don't tell you when (if ever) you'll get it back.
2: My areas are already covered better than what's allowed under the grants. We've done a good job in the past and our reward is government funded potential competition, gotta love that one. Oh yeah, 3: If you take Obama money you are required to wholesale access to the network at fair and reasonable rates. Anyone know what that really means? Me neither. I figure if someone comes here I'll just make them sell to me at good rates and I'll not have to deal with the grant hassles. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Sylvester" <[email protected]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 9:42 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Barriers to WISP growth >> Stimulus: I don't believe in it and did not apply. > > I want to understand people's opposition to the Broadband Stimulus > programs. > > > Rick and other people opposed to the stimulus, can you expand on why you > don't believe in the Stimulus and why you didn't apply?
