Ya... me too... I offer "up to 100Mbps download by 1500Mbps upload". :)

Gotta love "up to" services. Next time you are in Walmart buying milk, see if you can buy "up to" a gallon. ;)

They are also, not saying we can't deliver more than 1 Mbps, just that 
the speed is around 1 Mbps. How many WISPs provide residential service 
at speeds greater than 1 Mb?

Hello,

	Right, but the problem is most WISPs do not fill out the Form 477 so
what data do they have to go off.  I have heard there are over 3,000 to
4,000 WISPs in the US, but only 400ish filled it out in 2008.  That is
    
what
  
the FCC engineer said when I was speaking at the FCC.  We cannot go to the
FCC crying we need more spectrum or more power because we provide XX
millions of customers service, if the form they REQUIRE us to fill out
    
says
  
we only have hundreds of thousands of customers.

Hmm, so I guess my 10Mbps down and 8mbps up wireless links (yes, to
customers) don't count????  

My guess, though, is that they're pulling this data from the 477 and
    
making
  
assumptions based on that.  Most of our customers are 1.5Mbps or less
customers so looking at the "raw" 477 data then yes, it would appear that
    
we
  
may not be doing much more than the 1.5meg.  

Interesting...

This really ticks me off:

 

"Wireless broadband Internet access services offered over fixed networks
allow consumers to access the Internet from a fixed point while stationary

 and often require a direct line-of-sight between the wireless transmitter
and receiver. These services have been offered using both licensed
    
spectrum 
  
and unlicensed devices. For example, thousands of small Wireless Internet
Services Providers (WISPs) provide such wireless broadband at speeds of 

around one Mbps using unlicensed devices, often in rural areas not served
    
by
  
cable or wireline broadband networks." 

http://www.broadband.gov/broadband_types.html 

 

I talked to them at the NTIA workshop in Memphis about this, but they are
still defaming our industry.

I have emailed them at the broadband.gov site and think it is a good idea
that they hear from more of us.

 

Thanks!
