[RFI] Example of Rural Wi-Fi/Wi-Max

[Chuck O'Neal]

Excellent!  

This sounds like a great plan. Let's use our resources!

Is there a way to develop an objective comparative business model for each approach for rural communities that will have credibility?  This would cover the next level of diligence when the local ham representative is asked for details. Or, is the intent just to show the alternative and make them aware.  Perhaps a hand off to the ARRL? Back up WILL be needed.

Comments?

  A good counter-example indeed.

  Getting that article to the appropriate decision-makers across rural America
  with a one-page, non-technical summary entitled "Read this before investing
  in BPL" could have a significant positive impact. A good way to identify and
  reach those local decision-makers is via local hams. As rural communities
  become more aggressive in seeking and deploying broadband access, we want to
  be sure that they're aware of this option.

  I can't speak for the veracity of the reporter's story, but it does seem to
  be more than a regurgitation of press releases.

  This is the good counter-example to BPL we need to provide.
