Andrew,  (Andrew MacRae from the NTIA is BCC'd)

 

There seems to be some discrepancy in the Colorado and Michigan Data.  Can
you assist as to why Wisp coverage is not represented?  Please read the
email below my signature line.  Also, here are some other comments from
other providers.

 

.         Merrill, MI: Our coverage area is not displayed on that map. Is it
only including wireline providers?

 

.         Jackson, MI:  My coverage update for the 2nd to last round is not
there, but the rest is. The map is for 3Meg svc. and up also.

 

.         Steamboat Springs: If you hover over a county a popup chart on the
right shows up and displays the demographics for that county and % of
broadband that is Fiber, Cable, DSL, or fixed wireless.  both the counties
we serve show 0% fixed wireless.

 

.         Yuma: wow, they have my area as covered as NON-Rural DSL and Cable
no wireless links at all..

I think someone "fixed" the books on this info. As its completely BS..

 

1. everything out here in our area is Rural..

2. No wireless listed at ALL ( there are 2 providers ourselves and the telco
to the south of us) 

3. The local cable company has only a handful of customers 

4. says that over 3500 folks in my county have NO internet.. Complete and
total BS.. This is farm country and I'd PAY to find more than 50 homes that
don't have internet.

 

Again.. the books have been cooked, thanks to either bad info or
competition.

 

 

Where there is a Wisp, there is a way!

 

Respectfully,
