OK I saw some perspectives on the WISPA list…. My response there was…. Ummmmm…. You guys need to take a new look at this. Either everything they said from the platform is a lie, of they are indeed working for a “spot at the table”, so to speak.
The “buying part” (ATT) was about 20% of the conference. And, the perspective about where ATT sits within the group of mostly small fish within the attendees was transparent and “not a thing” so to speak. Maybe it started out the way you recall it, but I took nothing away from the conference but them being what you described, from the very helpful session tracts to the panels of attorneys that can fight the battles we need to the final meeting with FCC representation and discussions on what we can do to increase the little guys presence with the FCC and provide input and influence on policy.

If you are doing FTTX or even with your towers, you should consider joining FISPA. They are parallel organization to WISPA and our fighting for our seat at the table with legislators. A LOT is up in the air right now regulatory wise, and supporting them ultimately also supports us ISPs.
