What would the FCC lose by issuing this company a 60 Day trial period? Obviously, we know whose pockets are lining their board. Quite disgusting. I think this is a good idea to some degree. It at least warranted a trial period to see if it was feasible or not. If it was feasible, would it draw enough customers to generate free revenue for the FCC? While that would have to be determined, I suspect it would. If it was truly nationwide broadband, I can see a necessity for such a service.

Re: Stupid FCC

60 day trial? The company was talking about a 10 year deployment. I could set up a tower myself with the right equipment and "show" the FCC anything I wanted in 60 days.

Who is M2Z? I never heard of them. I have to find there books... Nope.

Anybody that can provide NATIONWIDE broadband can afford the license. It is a very big line of crap the company seems to be feeding, cell companies cannot even get nationwide coverage!

I think it would be better spent to offer a wider band with more restrictions so WISPs and other small companies can fill the gaps that the major players leave out.

What M2Z was trying to do was block out any competitors and get a sweetheart deal for itself. Better that all proposals be considered and that the spectrum be put out for auction. -- -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page

Re: Stupid FCC

i have to agree. This would have been a sweetheart deal with minimal startup costs for M2Z (a company i've never heard of) - and something which would have hindered broadband development. I'm glad that the FCC rejected this proposal for what in 10 years would be equivalent to today's 300 baud modem.
