[WISPA] from AGL
Swirl of Mini-tornado Takes Internet Tower for a Spin The structure might have been designed to withstand 125 mph winds, but all it took was a 70 mph gust to knock down a 100-foot freestanding Internet tower in Denton, Texas. It wasn't just the wind. It was like a mini-tornado, said tower owner Robert Stock. Our security cameras caught the tower blowing over and then to the west 20 feet and then to the east about 30 feet. It was bent back and forth while part of it lay on the ground. The storm, which bent the tower halfway up, blew through in the wee hours of a Monday morning, and Stock brought in a crane to lower the top section to the ground for repairs. The tower weathered the storm pretty well. Only four of the 12 sections had to be replaced. The antennas were smashed. New antenna parts, including the Internet antenna, were found locally, shipped and attached on Tuesday. The tower was back on the air by Wednesday. The only thing that slowed him down was not being able to order the new parts over the Internet. The timing of the storm could not have been more inauspicious. Only one day before, the tower had received an overhaul to reduce interference. The new equipment lasted only 24 hours. Stock says the second replacement is more powerful and his signal is stronger than ever. The tower serves seven businesses in Greenbelt Business Park and a dozen more in the area. Not sure why anyone would reuse wind damaged tower, but 12 sections to make a 100 foot tower is confusing also. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!

Re: [WISPA] Proposed data retention laws targeting ISPs, home WiFi users
Thanks for your post. The party that is in control of the White House guides and directs the "security" policies for the nation through the Department of Justice and the sixteen or so governmental agencies that deal with national "security". Although many Democratic elected officials refused over the last eight years to oppose the Republican drive to consolidate political control over the citizenry of our country, including control of the Internet which is the last bastion of effective democratic (small "d") political _expression_, it was primarily the Republican party that has (and still is) attacking the rights of Americans to freely communicate and to organize via the Internet. Yes, the Internet is still under attack. Yes, the Internet must be defended. Who can attack our rights to use the Internet? The political party that controls the White House - if it so chooses. The Military - if directed to do so by the political party that controls the White House. The large communications companies - to drive out the smaller communications companies and to consolidate their control over the operation of the Internet. The sixteen (or so) governmental agencies that are supposed to be taking their orders from the White House. The political party that controls Congress - by pushing legislation that restricts access to and use of the Internet. Now that the Republican Party does NOT control the White House and does NOT control Congress, I predict that Republican attempts to control the Internet will fail. It is still necessary to keep a vigilant watch on new legislation. The U.S. Government "security" bureaucracy still employs hundreds of thousands of people and without input from you and me and thousands of other ordinary citizens, this "security" bureaucracy will continue to find new ways to justify it's existence. Controlling the Internet is still on their agenda only this time THEY CAN BE CONTROLLED by the White House if we, the citizens speak up and tell the Democratic Party to keep Government's hands off the Internet. If we ordinary citizens refuse to act then we will lose our ability to use the Internet freely. Then we will no longer be living in a democracy, we will be living in a dictatorship. jack Drew Lentz wrote: From another list, but nevertheless very relevant... -d http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10168114-38.html Republican politicians on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of WiFi access points, even hotels, local coffeeshops, and home users, to keep records about users for two years to aid police investigations...

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
We have RBS setup, the product as a whole is unrefined and cumbersome, but they do have some nice features. I haven't experimented with any other software, so I don't know what else is out there. Their BitBackup requires local storage of a database, so if you're backing up 50G of data for a customer, they better have an extra 50G of hard drive space for the local copy. We've just gone to selling them an external USB drive when they signup.

Re: [WISPA] Data retention and right to privacy - etc..
poking stick in fire Hey, now that the government is pumping $7.2B into a critical US infrastructure, wouldn't it make sense for some reasonable network management to take place to protect that investment?

FYI From SANS NewsBites Vol.11 Num.13 --UK Plans to Consolidate Communication Data Retention (February 13 16, 2009) Rather than requiring every service provider in the UK to keep its own user communication information to comply with European data retention rules, the UK government plans to use BT and other high tier providers to retain the data. The move comes as a result of the government's decision not to bear the burden of paying for each individual provider's compliant data retention system. UK draft laws require retention of IP address and session data for 12 months. The data retention scheme is expected to cost taxpayers about GBP 46 million (US $65.7 million). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/16/eu_data_retention_transposition/ http://www.vnunet.com/computing/news/2236479/retaining-communications-cost Another newsbite --Canadian Judge Rules Internet Users Have No Reasonable Expectation of Privacy (February 13, 2009) A judge in Canada has ruled that Internet users have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding records kept by their Internet service providers (ISPs). The ruling was made in the course of a child pornography case in which law enforcement officers asked an ISP to provide subscriber information for an IP address that was allegedly used to access the content. Bell Canada provided the information without a warrant. Most Canadian ISPs require warrants before they will provide subscriber names, except in the case of child pornography. Privacy advocates are concerned the ruling could set a precedent that would put individuals' entire surfing history at the disposal of law enforcement authorities without the need for warrants. They maintain the judge operated under the faulty assumption that the information obtained from the ISP is similar to what could be found in a telephone directory. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1283120 http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Police+have+access+your+online+history/1286193/story.html [Editor's Note (Northcutt): The ever dwindling right to privacy. Keep in mind that ISPs want to collect information on user's surfing etc., so they can sell that data to marketing firms. Be sure to check out the related FTC story elsewhere in this issue. (Hoelzer): This topic will become more and more interesting legally since in many jurisdictions governments are requiring that certain records be kept; while the intent is good the potential for abuse toward individuals unfriendly to a particular political point of view could result in the end. For example, consider the story out of the UK this week moving to consolidate this type of data into top tier providers for easier access and monitoring by government.] Don Grossman WillitsOnline LLC Office 707-459-0824 d...@willitsonline.com WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] windmills and radio
I have heard rumours of collocating wind turbines and radio equipment, but no real solid examples. I am currently in discussion with the owners of a decent sized windmill and tower (about a megawatt, 200 ft) about doing just that. They are willing, but would like some more information to provide thier warranters and insurers. So, if any of you all have experence with windmills and fixed wireless (especially) or celluar installations I would like to hear your stories!

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
I don't know the specifics of the Charter bankruptcy, but I've been working in telecom long enough to know that most traditional service providers do have to take on massive amounts of long-term debt to build out their infrastructure. Buildout of wireline networks is very capital intensive, involves large long-term loans, and does have a lot longer ROI than say, a wireless AP (most independent wisps build their ROI around months rather than years). On the other hand, the infrastructure holds its value a lot longer (deployed cable HFC will be commercially viable a lot longer than the current generation of PTMP radios, deployed GPON FTTN even more so (all assuming some swapouts of gear at the CO / headend every few years). Debt is necessary part of most telecom buildout, and lenders knowingly assume some of the risk in return for interest on their loans. The difference between Charter failing and other telco's / cable companies succeeding isn't business model per-se (they all have, at some level, the same business model) but is more likely the mundane issues that usually lead to business success or failure -- execution, etc... -Clint Ricker On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 6:17 PM, Marlon K.
