 knightmbEverybody Lies join:2003-12-01 Franklin, TN | As someone who runs his own wireless ISP I can't say enough of how true it all is. Right now, I have to file the yearly FCC form about the amount of customers we have, coverage area, etc. Our coverage is very small, just barely one city here in TN.
Other that being competition to local ISP (Covad, Speakeasy, Comcast, AT&T, etc.) we get lumped in to the whole state. We don't cover the whole state (yes, it would be nice of course, hehe) but it really is as the article stated just a big problem of what represents who the real competition is in the market place.
As such, we didn't qualify for the Broadband stimulus either because it's not *rural* enough here. So if there is going to be true competition in the wireless ISP market, the playing field needs to be leveled quite a bit. -- Fight Insight Ready (Was NebuAD) and the like: Click Here to pollute their data |
