[WISPA] Smith pitches 'Broadband for America Act'
All, I thought this word be of interest to the group. Regards, Dawn DiPietro Smith pitches 'Broadband for America Act' Says bill would promote affordable rural networks Posted: 7:36 AM, Apr. 25, 2006 Last Updated: 7:45 AM, Apr. 25, 2006 By KTVZ.com news sources WASHINGTON - Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., addressed the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association's Legislative and Policy Conference on Tuesday and outlined his Broadband for America Act of 2006. The proposal is a ‘disciplined' and ‘directed' piece of legislation that the Senate can swiftly pass to promote the construction of new broadband networks in rural America. To succeed in a global marketplace American firms need access to affordable broadband networks, Smith said. Leaving outdated laws on the books stalls job creation and inhibits the introduction of wireless technology that can be utilized in parts of America today's technology will never reach. Today's laws choke job creation with regulation and hold back innovation that proves time and time again to improve consumer's options. Senator Smith's legislation promotes the construction of broadband infrastructure by addressing the following critical issues: --Burdensome Video Regulations: Will allow wireline video providers to compete on equal footing by freeing them of unnecessary federal, state, and local regulations that have inhibited their entrance into the market. The legislation maintains local authority over rights of way and local programming requirements. --Universal Service Reform: Creates a new account to invest $500 million a year in broadband infrastructure for areas private investment are reluctant to reach. Expands USF contributors to include any company capable of supporting 2-way voice communication. Low volume users and low income households would be exempted. --Permanently Exempt USF Fund: Permanently exempts the Universal Service Fund from the Anti-Deficiency Act, allowing programs like the E-rate to continue. --Municipal Broadband: Allows municipalities to band together and offer affordable broadband service in areas where private companies cannot or will not provide service. --Wireless Broadband and White Spaces: Instructs the FCC to issue final rules within six months allocating white spaces on an unlicensed basis along with technical guidelines that prevent radio interference. Final rules will break way for low-cost broadband service, especially in rural areas too expensive to serve by wire. Smith noted, The Broadband for America Act is a targeted legislative package that draws on the best thinking of Senators Rockefeller, Dorgan Allen, Snowe, Lautenberg, McCain and myself. The bill combines my Video Choice Act and Universal Service for the 21st Century Act with Senator Allen's Wireless Innovation Act, Senator Snowe's Anti-Deficiency Act bill and Senator Lautenberg and McCain's Community Broadband Act. http://www.ktvz.com/story.cfm?nav=oregonstoryID=9996 --- --- -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

RE: [WISPA] Pioneering Wi-Fi City Sees Startup Woes
I'm biting my tongue on this topicI have been on enough of these projects, well over 50 in the last 12 months alone, and I have to say there are a pile of people that don't know what they're getting into and many will get hurt. For instance, I have a unnamed mesh vendor quoting 14 nodes per square mile for 100% coverage in a decent sized community in MA. They'll need at least 40ish... And please keep in mind that different parts of the Country where tree lines/foliage, noise floors, and topology are different create their own separate challenges. Throw in voice as some of the wireless network experts have advised and a whole new overlay of problems surface. There is a place for mesh just like other tools in your kit but covering whole counties or even trying to cover a whole City is quite a stretch IMHO. How did we get to this point of mesh first being considered a convenience or hotspot extension to what it has become today where it is seen as the 4th solution to the last mile or a cost effective roaming solution for public safety or city workers? I have seen designs in the NE US where 40 to 69 2.4 Ghz nodes per square mile are needed when a simple implement of 900 Mhz mobility with two base stations (redundant) per square mile can do the trick and save 90% of the cost of a mesh network. Use mesh in the parks, at the pool, in the restaurant district, or anywhere else people may want public access. And I'll add that opening up my notebook on a sunny day outside is pretty much a waste of battery power. I'm afraid Tempe AZ and St Cloud are just the start of some of the bad press we're going to see related to our wireless industry. But then again, I'm a show me guy so if one of these major networks actually works, has an ROI and doesn't become a boondoggle for tax payers, and serves the public well then I'll be impressed.

Thomas wrote: inline... First off, the WISPs have to have the guts to talk to the city. Many simply refuse to do so, and are probably going to get the Muni WiFi shoved down their throats. I don't want to turn this into a battle of ideals. George, you are welcome to believe anything that you want. Here are some facts; 1. I work for Clare Computer Solutions and we are a Cisco Mesh certified network Integrator. 2. Cities have approached US to install their networks 3. These cities are not San Francisco sized, they are probably populations 100,000 and smaller. 4. They are spending the money to put in infrastructure for City workers, first. Many are looking at providing Internet access second. But how many local wisps have been chosen to date? I bet Joe laura in NO got passed over without much consideration to him. Joe is on this list, let him chime in here. Second, the cities are mostly going to use 2.4 GHz for access and 5.7-5.8 GHz for backhauls. WISP's will need to use 5.25-5.25 GHz and 900 MHz. Almost every wisp today is using 2.4 to reach the customer and 5 gig for infrastructure and high end customers. Are you saying that wisps have to move off the existing spectrum and replace their equipment? I am not saying that WISPS have to move off of 2.4. I am saying that if WISPs want to provide top quality service, then they may need to move off of 2.4 as it is getting crowded in lots of areas. In a word, service. The city will only be offering WiFi access-period. They won't be going out to peoples houses and doing installs, fixing virii, doing firewalls, etc. Here is a scenario, if a potential customer who is on the fence while deciding to go to broadband was to hear that a new muni free wifi system is going to come on line or he can buy now with his local wisp, which choice is the average consumer going to make? Most are going to try the muni first. Some are going to be unsatisfied and will look for a better deal. I'll give you an example. I had 384k SDSL to my house and it was costing me $152 per month. In order to save money, I dropped the SDSL in favor of a cable modem. The cable modem can do 6 meg down and about 384k up for $43 per month and has been verified by DSLreports. Even my wife thinks the SDSL was better, I just couldn't afford it anymore. If someone in Antioch CA were even offering wireless service at $42 per month, I would be there. There is a subset of people that want quality, and are willing to pay for it. Two questions come up-can you deliver and are there enough to keep you from starving? The support scenario happens long after the fact. George -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe:

THEY ALL USE NIGHTHAWK. Founded in the 1990's, Nighthawk Systems, Inc. began with the revolutionary idea of delivering low-cost wireless solutions for industrial and commercial control by using common paging service. From the beginning, the company focused its development of printed circuit board (PCB) controls by incorporating paging technology. The result of years of custom applications in the field is the proprietary Nighthawk intelligent remote control board, which is easily integrated into OEM equipment or into Nighthawk's own plug and play devices commonly used by IT professionals to wirelessly switch power 'on' or 'off ' to remotely located devices. The NH100 allows a user to remotely control power to any device that can be plugged into a standard outlet. A modified version will also control DC power. Either way, you simply page the unit just as you would an ordinary pager...it's completely wireless, no phone line is required. The NH100's smaller size makes it perfect for rebooting and simple on/off applications. So if you are rolling a truck in the middle of the night to reboot a system, save yourself some time and money with the NH100. Designed with the ISP, Data Center, or Co-location facility in mind, the NH8 allows you to reboot locked up equipment from 8 individual time delay programmable outlets. The 15 amp power outlets are activated remotely allowing for full power-off reboots and remote site equipment management. All Nighthawk products are shipped to you pre-programmed to paging signals in your region and ready to install immediately. NOW YOU CAN DO THE LEGWORK OF AN ENTIRE WORKFORCE...IN AN INSTANT.

Re: [WISPA] Fw: USDA RUS loans/grants?
Marlon, I have not seen one; but I have heard of them. I feel silly addressing you since you are one of the 'experienced' people on this list. Someone from USDA (or HUD, can't remember) came and presented funding options for rural wireless network buildout at a rural broadband conference that I attended this past fall (http://www.nespal.org/unwired05/program.htm). One must ensure (due dilligence) that there are no networks that are already servicing the area. It appears that the fellow in your post is doing just that in order to qualify for the loan. The loans can be spent on infrastructure and equipment only. They can not be used to rent towerspace or upstream bandwidth. And they can't be used for salaries. Per the speaker, the loans aren't that hard to qualify for. And they can be for large amounts. I'm sure you'll find more details on the website that he posted below.

Anyone heard of Open Range Communications Inc.? They have applied for RUS grant money in numerous cities throughout the country. Below are a few links to their notices that I have found however, based on search engine results, it appears as though they have also applied for RUS funds in Kentucky, Florida and Virginia as well. I know that there are a couple cities in our coverage area that they have applied for RUS money to construct their own facilities in so I'll be filing the necessary paperwork with RDUP in hopes that their application for those two areas is declined. I am unable to locate where they are based or their contact information. I searched bbb.org and dnb.com but they are not registered with either of these so I'm thinking they may be a start-up company. There are quite a few cities listed in each of their state notices below so if you are operating in any of these states, you'll want to click the applicable link(s) I've provided below to see if they are trying to invade your turf too. The last thing we as WISP's need is for RUS money to be given out to someone who is attempting to compete with one of us in an area that already has broadband. We need to each do our part and file the necessary form with RDUP so they don't give money away for areas that already have broadband available whether the area is covered by a WISP, CLEC or ILEC.

I know that there are a couple cities in our coverage area that they have applied for RUS money to construct their own facilities in so I'll be filing the necessary paperwork with RDUP in hopes that their application for those two areas is declined. I am unable to locate where they are based or their contact information. I searched bbb.org and dnb.com but they are not registered with either of these so I'm thinking they may be a start-up company. There are quite a few cities listed in each of their state notices below so if you are operating in any of these states, you'll want to click the applicable link(s) I've provided below to see if they are trying to invade your turf too. The last thing we as WISP's need is for RUS money to be given out to someone who is attempting to compete with one of us in an area that already has broadband. We need to each do our part and file the necessary form with RDUP so they don't give money away for areas that already have broadband available whether the area is covered by a WISP, CLEC or ILEC.

RE: [WISPA] Smith pitches 'Broadband for America Act'
What do they mean by White Spaces? --Wireless Broadband and White Spaces: Instructs the FCC to issue final rules within six months allocating white spaces on an unlicensed basis along with technical guidelines that prevent radio interference. Final rules will break way for low-cost broadband service, especially in rural areas too expensive to serve by wire. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Please send your money as we are backordered for development. Will send product as soon as we can fill the order. LOL. Quoting Brian Rohrbacher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'll take 200.

I see out of town guys chime in all the time and express how well they can deploy and integrate networks. I am very curious about the actual implementations they have done that involved a large mountain ranges with customers spaced every 5 miles who are behind trees, or has some obstruction to any towers. Better yet a neighborhood with devices on the same frequencies that you cannot control. My guess is that their lab and specs of their devices looks great but the actual deployment is a different story. We all know that 2.4Ghz, 900Mhz, and 5.8Ghz, all have their limitations, and will perform perhaps 10% to 20% worst than advertised. Do these guys know that? As for the marketing bit, I have a 2.4Ghz wireless device that can communicate at 100 mph, at distances of 100mi from the tower using 60foot dishes, giving a throughput of 200Mbps. It sells for $50,000.00 per Clieint bridge and $600,000.00 per AP. Who wants to buy? Quoting Carl A Jeptha [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well to one-up you, Our local Utility has been offered Wimax Radios to be used in a Mesh Network on a licensed Freq, so that they can read meters. What really gets me is that these people with a few carefully chosen words appear to know more than all of us put together. The gift of the GAB.

For instance, I have a unnamed mesh vendor quoting 14 nodes per square mile for 100% coverage in a decent sized community in MA. They'll need at least 40ish... And please keep in mind that different parts of the Country where tree lines/foliage, noise floors, and topology are different create their own separate challenges. Throw in voice as some of the wireless network experts have advised and a whole new overlay of problems surface. There is a place for mesh just like other tools in your kit but covering whole counties or even trying to cover a whole City is quite a stretch IMHO. How did we get to this point of mesh first being considered a convenience or hotspot extension to what it has become today where it is seen as the 4th solution to the last mile or a cost effective roaming solution for public safety or city workers? I have seen designs in the NE US where 40 to 69 2.4 Ghz nodes per square mile are needed when a simple implement of 900 Mhz mobility with two base stations (redundant) per square mile can do the trick and save 90% of the cost of a mesh network. Use mesh in the parks, at the pool, in the restaurant district, or anywhere else people may want public access. And I'll add that opening up my notebook on a sunny day outside is pretty much a waste of battery power. I'm afraid Tempe AZ and St Cloud are just the start of some of the bad press we're going to see related to our wireless industry. But then again, I'm a show me guy so if one of these major networks actually works, has an ROI and doesn't become a boondoggle for tax payers, and serves the public well then I'll be impressed.
