I believe that the rural wireless provider that Chairman Powell of the FCC recently visited in Leesburg, VA is using 802.11 transmitters mounted on towers, and perhaps small dishes on the receiving end, to distribute broadband over quite a large area on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge. I took the well-publicized visit to be a sign that Powell was trying to back away from hitching his broadband-for-the-masses wagon too tightly to BPL. We also have at least one wireless provider who turns up fairly regularly on this reflector. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on August 2, 2004 2753 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm _______________________________________________ RFI mailing list RFI@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi |
