John,

maybe, if you feel its alright, you could post some of your pictures.
so that others could see what you have seen.  It might just help everyone 
understand

Subject: [WISPA] Restoring the Gulf Coast


I just got back last night from the gulf affected areas after helping crews 
establish Internet and phone service for use by evacuees and assistance 
staff. It looks like a thermo-nuclear device detonated on the gulf coast. 
Bay of St. Louis (across from Gulf port) is nothing but a landfill with 
bull-dozed paths through the debris to clear roadways. I cried, everyone 
cried, it was life altering. On television it is awful but you can go to 
the other room when you are watching on television. When you are there you 
cannot get away from it. I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack 
when I first got to Bay of St. Louis. You cannot smell or feel the sense of 
what it is like there unless you are actually there. I took pictures but 
wondered why. It was almost a sick feeling to photograph such devastation.


I came home last night and I still feel a little shell shocked. I am not 
right. I am definitely more right in the head than those who lived through 
the experience and those who have been there since day one. I don't know 
how people who are helping can last as long as they are. There are people 
there who have been helping non-stop for 2 weeks. I cannot imagine it. I 
spent four days helping and thought I was going to fall apart mentally and 
physically. I am not as strong as I thought I was. At least I did some 
good there. I am glad I went even though I will never be completely the 
same person ever again.

Done a zillion remote meetings using streaming video/audio.  Not appropriate
for an FCC presentation.

Come on, guys.  The real issue is what is said, not who is saying it.
What you need to do is to have WISPA leadership collaborate with P-15
leadership to come to mutual agreement on what is presented.  That will
suit everyone's needs.  But beware: Do not settle for simply providing
material as a substitute.  Submitting material to another group to use or
not use as they see fit will not represent your interests, guaranteed.
What's called for is a collaboration and sign-off on what is presented.  It
doesn't have to be face-to-face ... people remotely email revisions back 
forth on an every day, hour, or even minute basis in collaborative
construction.  This can work, only if there's someone in your group willing
to collaborate to make it happen (and both parties are willing to see that
it's accomplished).  The issue of who does the presentation may be set in
stone, but if both parties are willing to agree that what is presented
should be agreeable to both, it can happen.

I agree that Matt would do well if he could find someone to talk to.
And he would be in the top of the list of people I would want to go to
Washington and represent us.

However, Marlon, if he has the time, has experience of roaming the
halls of the FCC looking for someone to talk to.

Maybe Marlon would be a better choice in this instance?

WISPA hasn't been formally invited to talk to the FCC people, so the
person that goes will need to cold call, which might be difficult to do.

I think this is the perfect time to talk to Washington, and make sure or
reinforce that it was WISPA  quick actions that got phone, broadband,
and computers into the hands of the displaced. Mac Dearman and WISPA
were First Responders

We need to make sure that we get this credit  right away. As time passes
on, a lot will be forgotten and it will be much harder to get the type
of exposure we now deserve.

It would also be good to sometime in the future have a special trip to
Washington for the member wisps of wispa who were effected and those who
volunteered the time and effort to be quick responders.
Guys like Mac need to be recognized for their quick actions, especially
in light of how slow it took the government to respond.


Just my thoughts.

2005-09-13 Thread Rob's list
what we really need is a big map,  in ross perot style.  showing the areas 
wisps have reconnected currently and planned in the next 2 weeks.
we need a chart or slide with how many voip calls have been completed. How 
many people have been connected/reunited. How many sqare miles are covered.
any fact with big impressive numbers. Bullet points with how nimble and 
quickly a small group can act.  Thinks what the wisps could do with the 400 
million that the telcos are going to spend.  I don't know if this 
presentation is about fund the rebuild,  but if it is we need to point out 
what could be done with more support from the fcc.  with out sounding like 
we are whining.

I agree that a wireless feed is not appropriate under normal situations 
but
that's not what we're talking about here. I would say using a wireless 
feed

to connect video down there (especially since all other communications are
down) would be a very powerful tool to tell the story of what is happening
and what you guys and our industry can offer. Brad
