While normally an ally of WISPA, in this case Free Press is taking a position that is opposite WISPs feelings on this topic. This is a MAJOR reason while it is absolutely essential that ALL WISPs take the time to file by 5:00 PM tomorrow. I have attached the WISPA filing and a template to use.
Once you have customized the letter, please make a .pdf copy or a .doc file and upload it at the following website. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=rhroc. If you choose not to use the WISPA template letter but want to write your own comments, you can either follow the previous procedure or use the Express filing method at http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=nc5cd. The proceeding number ET Docket Nos. 09-191 and WC Docket No. 07-52. You can add the second Proceeding Number by clicking Add Proceeding. Free Press Floods FCC With Net Neutrality Petitions Group wants Commission to toughen up chairman's proposed compromise order By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/13/2010 11:45:52 AM Free Press is killing some trees to try and "save" the Internet. Free Press says that <http://www.broadcastingcable.com/common/jumplink.php?target=http%3A%2F%2Fac t2.freepress.net%2Fsign%2Freal_net_neutrality%2F%3Fsource%3Dposterous> SavetheInternet.com volunteers will be hand-delivering 2 million petitions to the FCC, with volunteers making the trek every hour on the hour until sometime Tuesday. Free Press wants the FCC to toughen up the chairman's proposed compromise order expanding and codifying its network openness rules. The order does not rely on reclassifying broadband access under some common carrier regs (Title II), allows for specialized services, and does not apply most of them to wireless broadband. The FCC is planning to vote on the order Dec. 21, which is still subject to edits and emendations as the commissioners vet the draft. Free Press calls the chairmen's proposal a "toothless" effort that "give[s] just about everything to giant phone and cable companies, and leave[s] Internet users with almost nothing." That two million are not all in response to the compromise FCC proposal, but represent the names on a number of different petitions on net neutrality cirucluated over the past couple of years, according to Free Press' Craig Aaron. Copies of the different petitions are being attached to the appropriate list of names, approximately 50,000 per boxful, which are being delivered hourly to the commission through Tuesday.
