No. But on the other hand, if we ask for nothing then that is what we
will get, or, as I've heard it said:
"If you don't ask, then the answer is NO".
Government rules and regulations are constantly changed and amended and
selectively enforced to respond to the needs of constituents.
Congress can't read our minds. Most of our representatives don't even
know that we exist. We need to educate them that:
1. We're here (in their District).
2. We're serving the broadband needs of their constituents.
3. CALEA requirements are unreasonable and need to be reviewed and
modified to allow small WISPs to stay in business.
4. We need their help and support for this CALEA review.
If we fail to educate our Congress representatives then we have no one
to blame but ourselves for the fact that the FCC has unwisely chosen to
treat small WISPs like they treat AT&T (as a bottomless money pit that
can afford to do anything to stay in business).
Either we:
1. Take action to right the wrong, or
2. We whine endlessly about how screwed up our government is.
Take your choice,

Maybe we should all ask our lawmakers to endorse this bill.
Does anyone think this bill is actually going to get done in time for
the deadline?
