Fred,
Excellent Filing.
The big risk is abuse of power by those with dominent market power, thus
possibly the need for some targeted regulation. But I'm not aware of any WISPs
that has scaled large enough to have dominent market power to the extent to
become a risk to consumers or other providers. I asked for Fixed Wireless to be
exempt from NetNeutrality restrictions simply because there is no market need
to regulate a small provider.

Oh, foolish me. I thought you said 5:00 PM. I had 32 minutes to spare after
filing! ;-) I guess I'm not an early bird.
Since I'm not a WISP per se but do like to file in FCC proceedings, I threw
this together. It basically says that ISPs per se, including all WISPs, should
not be regulated, but that dominant wireline providers, like ILECs, should make
wholesale facilities available, and that's the only neutrality required, or
probably even likely to withstand judicial scrutiny.
