I predict that somewhere around 80% of small ISP's won't file. Many won't even know they have to. Just think, EVERY block size network. If you build out for your neighborhood and have 10 neighbors... YOU have to fork out the big bucks, YOU are now dead. You just don't know it yet, because you have no idea on earth that the federal govenrment has just taken wholesale control of the ISP business. > > Now, I run Mikrotik everywhere, and I've seen comments > about packet monitoring "being OK" for compliance, and > I'll STILL not do anything until I'm provided with a > subpoena, but I figure having the paperwork THERE is > probably a necessary evil. > You can bet that any "industry" standard derived will derived with the input from the telecoms to bankrupt as many small ISP's as possible. I predict that in 2 years there will not be enough WISP's left to fund WISPA at all, unless the dues go up on the order 20 to 50 times. > This, in my opinion, is just big brother licensed > extortion for the little guys.
