You guys all agree we should be able to build and own our own networks
with as little regulation as possible but you want the government to
regulate the crap out of the bigger players? I do not buy that. Give us
all a level playing filed with little regulation and I think we will all
win. Also, the FCC has a task force called the Wireless Broadband Access
Task Force whose web site is located at www.fcc.gov/wbatf. Do you think
this would exist if we did not have some people filling out their forms
telling the FCC we are out here and need help?
We cannot ask for representation in D.C. and then tell them they have no
authority over us. This is not rational. We know the FCC has authority
over what we do. We ask them for a playing field we can all play in. We
get changes made and then we have people saying they refuse to fill out
a form that shows what we are doing as broadband operators.
I guess I just don't get it. Do you think the possibility could exist
that their intentions are not sinister and may actually relate to their
need for data in order to support our efforts? The government may not be
your best friend but I assure you they play a big role in your business.
We all need to understand the rules, follow them and try our best to
make the rules work in our favor at all times.
Like the form or not it is a matter of law and we need to follow the law
of the land.

The only thing i get from that is they now want to alter the franchise
process to allow telcos to do something
they already can and know exactly how to do. Add this to the recent
ruling that cable co's do not need to
share and you got people on a grass knoll. I agree with Mark that we
are being setup for a fall.

Like Congress gives a rip about small business? Only so as it
gives them
numbers to pontificate about.

In this particular case it's actually a very good thing Mark.
Part of what's kept us at arm's length in a number of venues is the
lack
of
numbers. The FCC is trying to get an accurate count and this was an
existing system for doing just that.

While you're at it, could you ask them what thier regulatory power
comes
from? How can they impose fines on a non-regulated business, that
does
not
require thier action to exist?
Further, what's the justification in the first place? I think
this is
the
camel's nose and if we don't stand up and tell them to shove off,
we'll
be
steamrollered into non-existence real fast.

Did you understand 90% of it? We skipped a ton. And I sent a
note to
the
FCC asking if a more isp centric form could be created.

For those of you in the states...remember that you have to file form
477
with the FCC by September 1.
Here is a link to the form:
http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html#477
Took me about 30 minutes to get mine done.
Cheers,
Matt Larsen
