A read of Harold Feld's comment and opinion on Gallager leaving, may shed
some light on his support of the WISP community.

"With Gallagher's departure, the last high-level true believer in wireless
and advocate for spectrum change has left the administration. As I have
written elsewhere, Martin does not view spectrum, either licensed or
unlicensed, as a particular priority. Neither do either of the Democrats.
While supportive of the promise of unlicensed, they have not pushed for new
unlicensed spectrum in a high-profile way."
