If we don't differentiate these two different services then the grants (and the service) definitions can become and remain muddied. We already made this point once in public at the Las Vegas hearing but IMHO we really need to keep bringing this point up. No one else seems to be making it. jack Tom DeReggi wrote: We've been talking about on Member's list. The worst thing I saw about it was.... 3G cellular service appears to disqualify an area from being eligible for funding, based on definition of underserved. An area is eligible for underserved if it does not have a provider offering over 3mbps down stream. However, without conditions for upload, or mandating average, or considering wired only, 3G kills us because 3G is spec'd at 3.1 peak download. WISPA lobbied for 2mb upload and speeds based on average. We didn't get that. :-( Tom DeReggi RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband ----- Original Message ----- From: "RickG" <mailto:rgunder...@gmail.com> <rgunder...@gmail.com> To: "WISPA General List" <mailto:wireless@wispa.org> <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 11:42 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] WE HAVE NOFA With more strings than an orchestra! -RickG On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 1:45 PM, Charles Wyble <mailto:char...@thewybles.com> <char...@thewybles.com> wrote: http://is.gd/1ktef ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
