[WISPA] After the crisis
There is going to be a wide open market for local WISPs in LA, for quite a while, after the crisis is over. TechNews.com Daily Report Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2005 Telecom Damage Tops $400 Million Telephone company BellSouth Corp. yesterday estimated that it would cost $400 million to $600 million to repair the damage from Hurricane Katrina and said it could take four to six months to restore service in the hardest-hit areas of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

[WISPA] Mac Dearman's Camp Featured in Washington Post
Congratulations to all you guys for your hard work and great efforts down south. You made the Washington Post! Woo-Hooo! Scriv Mike Healy wrote: Found this in the Washington Post this morning.

I was just overjoyed, she said yesterday, tearing up as she spoke outside the church in the farming town of Mangham, about 200 miles from her flooded New Orleans home. Words can't explain how I felt. If the Butlers manage to reunite this weekend, as they hope, it will be because of a band of volunteer techies who are stitching together wireless networks at shelters across northeastern Louisiana using radio transmitters mounted on such items as a grain silo and a water tower. With few reliable communications systems in place, people and companies from around the country are converging on the region to create improvised networks that give survivors and emergency personnel ways to talk and coordinate efforts. While local telephone and wireless networks are slowly coming back, they remain spotty or nonexistent in some places, and fire, police and other rescue personnel have complained about the lack of a unified emergency communications system. To meet the needs of evacuees in Jackson, Miss., Dulles-based America Online has parked an 18-wheel truck at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds, a major shelter, with a satellite dish on top and 20 computers with Internet access inside. At the Houston Astrodome, volunteers have obtained a Federal Communications Commission license to set up a low-power radio station and are now struggling to get permission from local officials to broadcast to evacuees inside the stadium. F4W, a Lake Mary, Fla., company, is under government contract to provide Internet phones and online access to Coast Guard officers cleaning up oil spills, using a portable satellite dish and handsets often deployed in forest fires. The network at Mangham Baptist Church was the brainchild of Mac Dearman, a wireless Internet service provider who was driving past the church last week when he saw a group of parked cars, realized they were people who had fled the hurricane and set about providing relief, including food, clothing and online access. Dearman hooked up a radio transmitter near the church and linked that to a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephone and a computer, and suddenly the dozens of people taking refuge at the church had the ability to reach out to the outside world. Mostly, they are searching for loved ones and filling out Federal Emergency Management Agency forms to get disaster aid. They just call from shelter to shelter to shelter looking for their kids or for their daddies or their brothers because they got separated, and they are just finding each other in the last few days, Dearman said, adding that people were often overwhelmed when they connected. They cried big tears, hugged my neck, shook my hand and patted me on the back. You'd have thought I was really giving them something that cost a lot of money, he added. Dearman is working entirely with donated labor and equipment. People from as far afield as Nebraska, Missouri and Indiana are camped out in his house, coordinating equipment deliveries, searching for shelters that need service, and then sending out volunteers to climb towers to hook up radio antennas and set up the networks. We are basically completely bypassing the phone system, said Matt Larsen of Scottsbluff, Neb., who said he was perched on a bar stool with his laptop at Dearman's kitchen counter. Dearman estimated that he had run wireless links to about a dozen shelters near his home base of Rayville, La., but only about half were up and running because he had run out of equipment. He was expecting fresh donations of secondhand computers, VoIP phones and wireless equipment. Once he has those in hand, he said, he hopes to extend to shelters closer to New Orleans and to Mississippi's Gulf Coast. It's been a godsend, said the Rev. Rick Aultman, pastor of Mangham Baptist Church, where about four dozen people are staying. © 2005 The Washington Post Company -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org

What has not been covered as extensively in the MKS592 media is the lack of communications at dozens of rural MKS592 Louisiana shelters and the efforts of Wireless Internet MKS592 Service Providers (WISPs), which use unlicensed spectrum, to MKS592 address this problem. MKS592 Earlier this week, such stories were featured at a MKS592 Capitol Hill forum sponsored by the New America Foundation and MKS592 the Congressional Future of American Media Caucus. Rep. Diane MKS592 Watson, D-CA, bemoaned the lack of telecommunications MKS592 services after the storm and said that it pointed to the MKS592 serious failure and the lack of preparedness in our nation's MKS592 telecommunications policy. New America Foundation Vice MKS592 President Michael Calabrese added, It is simply not MKS592 affordable anytime soon to be stringing fiber lines to rural MKS592 areas, but wireless networks can provide broadband MKS592 communications services very quickly and inexpensively. MKS592 As New Orleans is being evacuated, thousands of MKS592 evacuees are streaming out into the countryside where churches MKS592 and communities have set up shelters to take care of them. MKS592 Unfortunately, many of these shelters lack telecommunications MKS592 service. Responding to this need, dozens of rural WISPs have MKS592 poured into rural Louisiana to help out. MKS592 As of midday Thursday, WISPs were providing service MKS592 to more than 1,100 evacuees at the following shelters: Mangham MKS592 Baptist (Mangham, LA), Delhi Civic Center (Delhi, LA), Baskin MKS592 First Baptist (Baskin, LA), Grace Fellowship (Baskin, LA), MKS592 River of Life Church (Winnsboro, LA), Tallulah Community MKS592 Center (Tallulah, LA), and Parkview Baptist (Richmond, LA). MKS592 The following shelters were also expected to get service by MKS592 the end of the day: King's Camp (Mer Rouge, LA), Richland MKS592 Baptist Encampment (Alto, LA), Antioch Baptist (Rayville, MKS592 LA), and Archibald Church of God (Archibald, LA). snipped. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Snider, (202) 986-2700 (x226), [EMAIL PROTECTED] MKS592 KATRINA DEMONSTRATES FAILURE OF CURRENT U.S. SPECTRUM POLICY MKS592 (WASHINGTON--September 9, 2005) In recent days the MKS592 press has extensively covered the telecommunications breakdown MKS592 in New Orleans and the attempts of telephone, cable, and MKS592 broadcast companies to reinstate service and help disaster MKS592 victims. What has not been covered as extensively in the MKS592 media is the lack of communications at dozens of rural MKS592 Louisiana shelters and the efforts of Wireless Internet MKS592 Service Providers (WISPs), which use unlicensed spectrum, to MKS592 address this problem. MKS592 Earlier this week, such stories were featured at a MKS592 Capitol Hill forum sponsored by the New America Foundation and MKS592 the Congressional Future of American Media Caucus. Rep. Diane MKS592 Watson, D-CA, bemoaned the lack of telecommunications MKS592 services after the storm and said that it pointed to the MKS592 serious failure and the lack of preparedness in our nation's MKS592 telecommunications policy. New America Foundation Vice MKS592 President Michael Calabrese added, It is simply not MKS592 affordable anytime soon to be stringing fiber lines to rural MKS592 areas, but wireless networks can provide broadband MKS592 communications services very quickly and inexpensively. MKS592 As New Orleans is being evacuated, thousands of MKS592 evacuees are streaming out into the countryside where churches MKS592 and communities have set up shelters to take care of them. MKS592 Unfortunately, many of these shelters lack telecommunications MKS592 service. Responding to this need, dozens of rural WISPs have MKS592 poured into rural Louisiana to help out. MKS592 As of midday Thursday, WISPs were providing service MKS592 to more than 1,100 evacuees at the following shelters: Mangham MKS592 Baptist (Mangham, LA), Delhi Civic Center (Delhi, LA), Baskin MKS592 First Baptist (Baskin, LA), Grace Fellowship (Baskin, LA), MKS592 River of Life Church (Winnsboro, LA), Tallulah Community MKS592 Center (Tallulah, LA), and Parkview Baptist (Richmond, LA). MKS592 The following shelters were also expected to get service by MKS592 the end of the day: King's Camp (Mer Rouge, LA), Richland MKS592 Baptist Encampment (Alto, LA), Antioch Baptist (Rayville, MKS592 LA), and Archibald Church of God (Archibald, LA). snipped. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
