>"Again, they should be held accountable for what they have built with PUBLIC MONEY."
IMO, it's nearly impossible to do a 1/2 and 1/2 type of model I doubt there is any service provider out there who HAS NOT benefited in some manner from PUBLIC MONEY at some time (or who would want to close the door to access this opportunity) Remember, PUBLIC MONEY includes Erate / RUS Loans / Economic Development Grants / Tax Credits / etc (or the ability to access those types of contracts) Imagine how burdensome it'd be if, in order to do connecitivity business with a government entity, you would have to submit your network to some sort of "open access audit" it's either all regulated, or no regulation (now, in a non-regulated environment, free-market economics may spawn a market niche of "open access regulated-like free access" networks, but that's a whole other debate) -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
