I agree w/ Alex and will take this one step further Mike has a history of taking undue credit for other's actions At this risk of sounding anti Part-15, in order for WISPA to establish credibility to its members and the FCC, it needs to be able to stand on its own 2 feet as a separate

Congratulations Charles, so now we have a little Wu I'm sure you're a proud father. That's great. I'm not trying to start an argument here but WISPA was not invited to attend this function. We received very late notice about the conference call two weeks ago and none of us caught it in time.

I use canopy gear at 5.7 and problems are very minimal. Most of the time (99%) it's a set and forget system. Most of our customers on canopy we never hear from again, it's that stable. We are just deploying 2.4 canopy gear so can't really speak to how well they deal with that band. The vast

Well, if you look at it - w/out WISPA's efforts, there would be NOTHING to talk about it It would take approximately 30 seconds to introduce WISPA - and 4 1/2 minutes is plenty of time for a WISPA representative to talk WISPA has a good story to tell (heck, it made national news) - I think it
