You all screamed a month ago when the CBRS order came out and wanted to do
something about it. NOW IS THE TIME, and very few of you are participating.
Please follow the instructions below.
This isn’t that difficult. If you can’t figure it out, ask the youngest person
on your staff.
The FCC is laughing at us - they know they sucked all the air out of
the room with Network Neutrality and they intentionally timed the publication
and comment deadlines for CBRS to bury them in the NN controversy and the
holidays. And it’s working for them.
PLEASE post comments on your business and/or personal accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, and/or LinkedIn in support of CBRS.
1) Be part of our Twitter campaign: Take a clear picture of a rural or
small-town location near you that could be better served with fixed wireless
and CBRS spectrum. Upload it to your social media account with language like
the following. Be sure to tag WISPA, your Members of Congress, and the White
House.
Please keep it professional and do not criticize any FCC commissioners or other
government officials; we need their support! You can identify your Members of
Congress by visiting www.House.gov <http://www.house.gov/> or www.Senate.gov
<http://www.senate.gov/>, and their social media links will be listed on their
websites.

Dear @FCC: Here’s another area at risk of never getting broadband service if
you change the #CBRS rules to favor big mobile carriers. Insert rural photo

Calling all WISPA members, WISP customers, and allies: Help us tell @FCC that
the current #CBRS rules are helping to close the rural broadband gap and should
not be tinkered with! https://goo.gl/TKczyK <https://goo.gl/TKczyK> [insert

Dear @FCC: Don’t sink our hopes for rural broadband; keep the #CBRS rules!

Attention @FCC: Don't take away rural consumers' best hope for finally closing

Hey @FCC -- Don’t leave rural areas behind by changing the #CBRS rules to favor

In the #CBRS <https://twitter.com/hashtag/CBRS?src=hash> spectrum band,
census-tract-sized PAL licenses are crucial for bringing broadband internet to
rural customers. https://goo.gl/TKczyK <https://goo.gl/TKczyK> [insert your

Facebook and LinkedIn:
Dear @FCC: Don’t leave rural areas like mine behind by changing the #CBRS rules
to favor the big mobile companies! @Your-member-of-Congress: Please let FCC
know your views! More info at WISPA.org <http://wispa.org/>:

Any of the above options will work as well.
2) The “easy way”: Follow WISPA on these networks, watch for our posts, and
then “like,” “retweet,” “share,” etc. We will be using the hashtag #CBRS.
3) Down the road, we will ask you to contact your U.S. House and U.S. Senate
members; be prepared to draft your company’s official comments to the FCC; and
sign on to WISPA’s industry letters to the FCC and/or Congress. Stay tuned!
