I would love for that the be the case, as that would indicate that the public wi-fi community has grown so large as to warrant political attention, but at this point in time we are probably not that much a factor.
I urge our members to post on issues that relate to wireless, public internet access, policy, etc. There are countless mailing lists that discuss current events and politics, and while Charlie's point was not inflammatory, it does steer the subject from spectrum policy to political discourse.
Thank You,

Why am I not surprised that this is happening during an election year. Now he is buying the Wi-Fi community vote. So I sound cynical?

Also last week, NTIA asked for public participation in the President's Spectrum Initiative. NTIA invited comments on spectrum policy reform from all interested parties in a Federal Register Notice to be published today, February 2. The Administration announced its commitment to develop and implement a modernized United States spectrum policy. Pursuant to this commitment, the Secretary of Commerce is conducting a comprehensive review to develop recommendations for improving the United States' spectrum management policies regarding the organization, processes, and procedures affecting Federal government, State, local and private sector spectrum use.
