Felix, Yes, a "Citizen at Large" can provide comment and the concept of "public-private" networks with WISPs would make a very powerful argument in support.
Thanks Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Felix A. Lopez Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 9:52 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Public Notice Mike - Can "Citizens at Large" provide comment too? I am involved in volunteer wireless project for a local school district in my area. The CTO is always seeking ways to do wireless on a limited budget. We already have problems with interference in a confined urban space and hypothesized a licenced 802.16 with a local WiSP network would help define a "public-private" network for the students. It is just hypothetical but I can see the reasoning in support of comments for this declaration at the FCC. Any thoughts apreciated.
