+100 Rick. And it is this fundamental philosophical perspective that I am asking WISPA to answer - what is the official position? If there is none, then are all the positions and statements and arguments just convenient at the moment? Does WISPA advocate for things that will result in higher regulatory hurdles?
Where is the "We have a fundamental belief that free enterprise, unencumbered by artificial spectrum shortages or regulatory barriers is the only viable solution to America's broadband needs" statement? And a few other statements of principles against which every written statement and every proposal is measured? Thus, all committees and all writers and all communication remains consistent in philosophy and message? Is this being political? Soemwhat, but the need to be so has been shoved upon us and if we're not dealing with it, then I see little hope of being a conversation leader, rather than just a "I wanna be heard" like all the rest. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: RickG Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2011 6:03 PM To: fai...@snappydsl.net ; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] The Legislative Situation Is Dire "it is Regulation (1996 Telecom Act) that allowed us (ISP's) to be able to go into the business of providing internet access and other communication services" With all due respect, it's exactly the mindset that government "allows" us to be in business that IS the problem. Telecom Act or no, regulation or no, there should be no question that we are allowed to make a living the way we want to regardless.
