Re: [WISPA] What you can do!

2012-05-24 Thread Spann, Chip
Having operated numerous wireless ISPs myself over the years, and as an active 
member of the WISPA Emergency Communications Action Team I'd like nothing more 
than to get these comments on the record and tackle responses "head-on" once 
and for all.

Under the NTIA guidelines, data is collected and submitted semi-annually.  Data 
submitted to NTIA on April 1 of each year consists of your infrastructure and 
speed tier data that was current on December 31 of the previous year.  Data 
submitted to NTIA on October 1 of each year consists of your infrastructure and 
speed tier data that was current on June 30 of the then current year.

Accordingly, providers that have had no change in coverage area or speeds can 
contact their mapping agents now and report "no change".  Providers that have 
or are expanding coverage areas (and will likely be doing so through June 30) 
should wait to submit their data sometime after the 1st week of July.

CN hasn't changed its core methodologies as long as I've been here (7 years) 
but has always followed the changes as dictated by NTIA and the FCC.  For 
example, prior to the development of the NTIA National Broadband Map, several 
states engaged CN to conduct broadband mapping (e.g. West Virginia, North 
Carolina, Illinois, Colorado, Kentucky, Minnesota, South Carolina, Ohio and 
Tennessee).  During the early stages of developing these maps, the definition 
of broadband was "greater than 200 kbps" in one direction.  Thus, when the 
definition changed, our data collection spreadsheets were updated to reflect 
the change.  Back then, states were happy if we submitted concentric circles 
illustrating our coverage area (and using disclaimers for actual coverage).  
Today, NTIA prefers actual propagation studies.  As such, our data collection 
spreadsheets were updated to reflect the change.  These changes were not by 
choice but by requirement.

So to answer the question, we just follow to guidelines of NTIA (or the state 
client for those early maps).  We follow the same guidelines as all other 
mapping agents in the US and are held to the same standards as all other 
mapping agents.  This is a great segue to the next comment regarding "apparent 
ties to large carriers".  I begin by stating that we've worked diligently to 
assist dozens of WISPs across the US by providing free engineering designs, 
free community and demographic assessments, tower site assistance, lease 
negotiation assistance and have written numerous RUS Community Connect grants.  
In other words, "we like the small operators".  You are the guys that actually 
bridge the gaps in the digital divide and we appreciate what you do. 

Our funding source for developing these maps is the State Broadband Initiative 
grants (ARRA funded with NTIA oversight) just like every other mapping agent in 
the US.  In the 7 years I've been with CN 
I can recall working in 2 states where the maps were partially funded by 
provider contributions (West Virginia and North Carolina).  Perhaps this is 
what you are referring to when you mention ties to large carriers.  If so, I 
can assure you that without those contributions and provider support, those 
states would have been hard pressed to develop a map that met the current 
standards.

Others might claim that our "apparent ties" were due to members of our board of 
directors.  In the past, board members have included representatives from AT&T 
and/or other large companies.  If you want to view our current board members, 
please visit the link at http://www.connectednation.org/board-of-directors

Finally, I close with these comments.  The entire mapping process is strictly 
voluntary.  No one forces providers to participate.  It's based on developing a 
relationship and if, for some reason, you have problems with one of my staff 
members in a CN mapping state - call me and we'll work on making things right.

In the 10 states where we are currently the mapping agent, I believe our 
provider participation (which is voluntary) speaks for itself:

Alaska: 21 of 2391.30%
Iowa198 of 203  97.54%
Michigan123 of 141  87.23%
Minnesota   116 of 119  97.48%
Nevada  52 of 5398.11%
Ohio117of 129   90.70%
Puerto Rico 16 of 2080.00%
South Carolina  44 of 4793.62%
Tennessee   82 of 8695.35%
Texas   158 of 201  78.61%
