I ask because I'm trying to gather data to support WISPA's FCC filings.
I'll explain... FiberTower is telling the FCC that they need chunks of TV White Space spectrum to be LICENSED TO THEM so they can provide point-to-point backbone bandwidth to serve rural unserved and underserved communities. Backbone bandwidth that is licensed to them means LESS unlicensed (or less lightly-licensed) TV White Space for WISPs to use. I'm fighting to MAXIMIZE the TV White Space spectrum for WISP use therefore I need information to debunk the FiberTower claims. I need to learn if FiberTower is actually a significant backbone bandwidth provider to fixed broadband ISPs and WISPs or if FiberTower is really only providing backbone bandwidth to mobile broadband (cellular) carriers. If FiberTower is acting anti-competitively by trying to knock WISPs out of the broadband business by denying us the TV White Space spectrum that we need while at the same time using that spectrum to serve the large cellphone companies then WISPA must explain that to the FCC and ask the FCC to deny FiberTower's requests to exclusively license TV White Space spectrum. jack Tom DeReggi wrote: Why do you ask?
