I still don't understand why someone *wouldn't* be open to this. If the NTIA is asking for your info, and granted none of it is that confidential (especially if you use unlicensed), it is so they know where access is and isn't. When the maps are drawn and your info wasn't supplied, there will be a big hole in that area. When they go to hand out money, they will give it to someone to fill that gap.
Excuse me for being naive, but I honestly don't understand why someone would purposefully set themselves up to get walked in on by competition, especially federally funded competition. Can someone enlighten me? -drew On Aug 3, 2011, at 9:36 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: > Talk to Brian Webster.
