Tom asked,
A relevent question is... What percent of Pre-existing PArt-101 licenses are owned by who? For example, what percentage of PArt101 licenses are owned by Sprint or Fiber tower? Surely without those numbers disclosed, we really cant understand who these auxilary stations really would be helping. If our competitors own most of the PArt101 licenses, Icant agree that helping our competitors be more successful will make WISPs more sucessful. I'd want to see that private independant WISPs and WISP industry own a significantly large enough portion of the PArt101 band already. Can we get these specs?
FCC microwave license data is public; you can download the whole database. I've done this a couple of times, most recently a bit more than a year ago. (Warning: It's pretty tricky to work with. It's relational, with a ton of little files, and they just distribute the text files, not the SQL that may generate the most interesting answers. But if you like hacking in Access, it can be fun to try.) From that data, not today's, here is the count of the top 100 licensee names. (L=licensee; CL=licensee contact)
