My only point (and this is my last one, then I'll go back to lurking) is that the comments appear to me that maybe we (WISPA members) were expecting Connect Ohio / CN to be a wireless only advocate. However, at least in Ohio, they received money to push broadband - regardless of the way it arrives at the home or business. Where we have requested help with our wireless business, we have received great help and and great cooperation. I don't expect them to "favor" wireless over FTTH or DSL, because those providers are paying taxes too. But where they do help me, I expect it to be unbiased. Their wireless folks have been straight shooters, and 100% dedicated to helping our wireless be successful. What limited success we've had so far, we owe in a big part to Connected Nation / Connect Ohio.
