Fred, Excellent Filing.
The big risk is abuse of power by those with dominent market power, thus possibly the need for some targeted regulation. But I'm not aware of any WISPs that has scaled large enough to have dominent market power to the extent to become a risk to consumers or other providers. I asked for Fixed Wireless to be exempt from NetNeutrality restrictions simply because there is no market need to regulate a small provider.

Since I'm not a WISP per se but do like to file in FCC proceedings, I threw this together. It basically says that ISPs per se, including all WISPs, should not be regulated, but that dominant wireline providers, like ILECs, should make wholesale facilities available, and that's the only neutrality required, or probably even likely to withstand judicial scrutiny. -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
