Hi Folks, I am mostly a lurker, being a wireline based ISP, however cannot resist putting my two cents in it.
If this is what you all want WISPA to do, then you all need to be realistic in contributing a heck of lot more than the pidly few bucks to the WISP fund. More like a few thousand's) $ / year in membership dues. The type of role you are suggesting WISP do, can be best done by dedicated Full Time Professionals (Folks like Kris Tome / Jack Unger etc etc ) none of them are inexpensive nor can afford to work for free. Heck, even the US Chamber of Commerce, who calims to play an active role in Washington DC, gets more in membership dues than WISPA, and they work of a much much larger base of members (All kinds of business from all over the US). It is great to ask for the Moon, but also have to be realistically prepared to pay the price for it ! (p.s. I am not trying to offend anyone or pick on anyone, just expressing a dose of reality).

I know you didn't ask me, but that has never stopped me from speaking up. I want WISPA to spend its time and money primarily on spectrum issues. I like to see the organization meet with the FCC on a regular basis, publish position papers, and comment on every FCC issue that impacts us. I'd also like to see it issue a press release on the wires every time it does so. Whatever size this industry actual is much larger than it is perceived to be. WISPA needs to change that. -Matt Peter R. wrote: > Chadd, Lonnie, and the rest, > > It is obviously a sales issue: No one has sold you on the value of WISPA. > > Or WISPA is not solving some pain you have. > > How about you tell us what would be good value? > What specifically are you looking for the organization to do for you? > > This is a good time (pre-election). > > - Peter -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
