Re: [WISPA] Auction 66
Dylan, So who was it that spoke at the conference in Milwaukee? Michael J. Copps Commissioner or Kevin J. Martin Chairman Regards, Dawn DiPietro Dylan Oliver wrote: The way Chairman Copps talked about it at a recent conference in Milwaukee, I got the idea the auction might be approachable for a small business. Cellular market areas would be a WISP's (or consortium of WISPs) best bet in terms of number available (734 - we're bound to get at least one ... right?), size and demographics - but they are also some of the most valuable because they allocate 2x10 MHz channels vs the 2x5 MHz channels of blocks C-F (B gives 2x10 for 176 economic areas). And then there's the question of what to do with it. Huawei was the first to announce UMTS gear for 1700 MHz. I haven't heard what else is in the pipeline. It's a crapshoot. But the potential is awesome. Re: the 2x channels .. does this mean two licenses will be rewarded per area? Or one license will get both? Or both together make the thing duplex?

Dylan, Not a problem. Always glad to get things cleared up that way misinformation does not get passed on. I actually read that same article.

Re: [WISPA] Auction 66
$848k for control of a 2x10 MHz chunk over a fairly large rural area for 15 years is not bad at all. If one's winning bid were $1 million and they received a 25% discount as a very small business for a total payment of $750k, that'd work out to just $50k/year. Of course you need to have to pay out *now*, but my god that'd be a bargain!

Re: [WISPA] Auction 66
I disagree. Any and every WISP should be interested in offering mobile voice, data, and video as a complement to its fixed services. Subscribers *will* want it.
