I fail to understand why the Navy CBs haven't been deployed. They are
trained and equipped for just such a project. US citizens are now
probably dying while the emperor fiddles. WIPS don't get the
recognition we deserve as service providers, we need laws that stop the
big companies from trampling over us and profiteering from our labor.

To the extent any WISPA member needs relief from FCC rules in an
emergency situation (e.g., an STA to operate at variance from FCC
licenses), that is something that we are prepared to do. But, that
need is not known right now. I understand Gino is in contact with the
feds on the ground in PR, and Mike Meluskey has reported that he is
working with them in USVI. Brian Webster and I are communicating
about equipment delivery, but I’m not sure if that is a FEMA/DHS issue
or not. There is equipment stateside for Gino, we just need to get it
there. I know Brian is working hard on that, and I’ve tried as well.

Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.
The Internet is "critical infrastructure".
Is there anything that WISPA can do in Washington D.C. to "remind" the
FCC, FEMA and DHS of these facts and light a fire under their butts?

Hi Guys,
Broadband VI is in a similar predicament as Gino. We had double
the pleasure, Irma for St. Thomas and St. John, Maria for St. Croix.
We are taking advantage of private relief aircraft for our
critical material.
Since Aeronet is critical infrastructure, FEMA and DHS have people
dedicated to helping Telcos. Gino needs to find these people and
have them ship down the gear he needs.

Daniel,
I am heading up the WECAT response for this. Please send me an
email tobwebs...@wirelessmapping.com
<mailto:bwebs...@wirelessmapping.com>. Gino Villarini is a
large WISP on the island who has requested help. The problem
is logistics right now. His replacement equipment is still
stateside and we are working on ways to get it to him. He has
asked that I coordinate the manpower resources and response.
There are no scheduled commercial flights to the island yet.
Until he gets the equipment there,. Having people show up is
not prudent. He is working on a detailed manpower list for me
once that equipment hits the island.
Thank You,
Brian Webster

Back in 2005 Mac Dearman had organized some relief for the
gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina -- I believe it was under
an organization called RadioResponse, which I'm not finding
much on now.
I spent several weeks with them in Mississippi helping set up
phones, communications, and computers for several of the
shelters and helping some of the local WISPs get back on their
feet.
Does anyone know of anything similar for Puerto Rico? I don't
have much for resources but do have an authorized climber
certification and a strong electrical, mechanical, network,
and WISP background that I'm sure could benefit any similar
effort if there is one.
Thanks,
Dan
