Hi Mark, I'm glad you'll be at the FTC workshop. What's your take on it? What'll it really be about? What's the goal? I'll not be at this FCC meeting. I've got too much to do here and not enough time or money to do it. I REALLY need to not travel for a year or two. At least not for "fun" stuff like this. I sure miss going though. I have a great deal of respect for many of the folks that I've met at the FCC over the years and it sucks to not go back there and see them from time to time.

You can't knock good PR and the FCC should be happy to do it because it sheds them in a positive light since all government wants to be seen as helping the little guy plus they understand Politics better then you or I ever will. Because of that they won't be insulted by you asking for a pre-approved resolution to be released at our visit, in fact they will respect us more for being saavy enough to think that way. Whoever goes should work together to provide uniform presentations that endorse each others issues as important while emphasizing on their own point. Like saying (just an example) "Marlon is right about the frequencies, I have three frequencies in the 2.4 range and I'm trying to blanket an area with 600 overlapping signals." Leave it at that because Marlon just spent his 10 minutes talking about how hard it is to coordinate three frequencies and the triple labor costs involved in interferrence issues for himself let alone his fellow Wireless competitors. Just one sentance of endorsement so they retain Marlon's idea then it's time for your point. "Along those lines I'd like to suggest that the WISP's not have to compete with the cordless phones and wireless cameras of the world who are providing luxury not necessary communication. The FCC should recognize that we are an important part of deliverying communications as endorsed by the President and Congress strong mandate for rural deployment. This could be done with our own frequency range that is used at a higher power so we can compete with the cable and phone companies who have never provided rural coverage but sure love to threaten it every time you help anyone compete against them." Its more of a tag team approach which makes the meeting more productive and minimizes their feeling that they will just get pounded on one subject. Oh and if possible whip out a letter from your Congressman at the end endorsing your point. The ole one two punch gets em every time. These meetings are rare and the rest of the public considers it big thing, we should be smooth and ready. Just my thoughts, Forbes Mercy ([EMAIL PROTECTED] President - Washington Broadband, Inc.

Topics etc. are still being worked out. I'm also going to try to get a spot at: http://www.ftc.gov/opp/workshops/broadband/index.html I need 5 or 6 people that would like to go. Naturally, you'll have to cover your own expenses. I'll see if I can talk the board into helping a bit with those, but I'm not sure where we're sitting money wise right now. I think that only WISPA members should be invited to participate. Thoughts on this? If you are interested/available for a trip to DC please let me know ASAP so we can firm up all of the details. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp! 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Marlon- I'll be at the FTC hearings. Not sure yet if it will be idle curiosity or if one of my clients will be paying me. If you want to discuss anything beforehand, feel free to call. I'd like to get together for lunch or drinks when you're in town. Did the Chileans ever get in contact? Mark Mark C.
