VERY bad. I believe this is the reason that "the big boys" aren't doing 5 gig / 2 gig, etc unlicensed today in addition to all their other crap.
"Let all those pesky wisps get the customers educated, we'll take 'em all with 700 mhz indoor installs." grrr. I wish I were close enough to Washington, but I'm not. I agree with you on the base station license thing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Scrivner Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 9:52 AM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] Open Meeting on 700 MHz Apparently there is a meeting scheduled today, April 25, at the FCC over how the 700 MHz band is going to be split up for auction. It amazes me how we can be kept in the dark about these meetings. If anyone can tell me how to get included on announcements of such meetings I need to know about it. This really angers me that we are not there with some representation today. If anyone reads this who is near the DC area please go to this meeting and tell them we need spectrum to be made available on a base station license basis. They need to auction off individual base station licenses or reserve some for a flat fee so all of us can compete. If they do not then hundreds if not thousands of operators who are now serving rural broadband will not be able to compete. This is an anti-competitive problem that the FCC needs to address with this auction. This is a big deal. If we do not get some 700 MHz or similar sub- 1 GHz spectrum it is going to be very bad for us all.
