Jack Unger, the FCC Committee Chairman and WISPA Board Secretary, received The 2008 WISPA Outstanding Contribution Award at ISPCON 2008 in San Jose.
Elizabeth Bowles is President and General Counsel of Aristotle Inc., a nationally-recognized Internet, Email, and Application Service Provider as well as an award-winning web design and interactive media firm.
Watch and listen to these two wireless Internet service provider experts summarize what's up at ISPCON! on Suzanne Bowen's Viddler channel.
Jack shared some thoughts condensed here ... a key goal for WISPA at ISPCON is for WISPs, the media and the government to understand the importance of the television white spaces and to provide wireless (not dialup) Internet access to residents and businesses in those areas.
Anne Tredway of Super Technologies, Inc. asked Jack, "How many bands are in that white space?"
40-50 television channels...
L. Elizabeth Boyles (very interesting speaker at ISPCON) explains that WISPs have been shut out of so much spectrum by decisions made by the government.

BRAVO to SUPERCOMM 2009 for International Visitors' Assistance
I traveled 22 weeks of the year 2008 visiting with friends, partners, clients, and potentials all three at conferences around the globe. For me, that was easy because I have always been a USA citizen.
But... many of the brightest entrepreneurial minds are not in the USA. They are citizens of other countries, and it is our loss in the United States to not have opportunity to share, teach and learn from them right here in conferences on our soil.
SUPERCOMM has a complete page dedicated to helping those international businesses and individuals to more easily participate at http://www.supercomm2009.com/international_visitors.html.
The one thing I question is why only focus on Spanish, Japanese, French, and German? Even so, the page is very helpful to anyone in any country to get involved and participate in SUPERCOMM 2009 in June at the McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill! Don't forget to add yourself to the Facebook event networking area at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=29468433583.

Live demo of Mobile WiMax Connection at ISPCON
ISPCON in San Jose let us see first-hand the Mobile WiMAX Tower from Alvarion in San Jose, CA. They set up 3.65 GHz connectivity within 12 minutes. How? With a laptop using a wireless card provided network access to the exhibition floor from a few blocks away. BreezeMAX 3650 offered base station transmission to the small CPE in the Alvarion booth. Really!
The PtP link enabled visitors to the Alvarion exhibit to access the Internet. Visitors were able to get information and sign up online to take advantage of bulk discount pricing by becoming part of AlvarionCOMNET, designed exclusively for WISPs.
A short walk to the terrace of the McEnery San Jose Convention Center enabled onlookers to view the Mobile WiMAX Tower in the parking area down the street. Retracting the Tower to tow it off at the end of the day was just as fast and simple as the setup.
I've got a video somewhere in which I recorded some of the visitors at their booth discussing the demo. Where is it???? Find out more about WiMax and rural development at Alvarion.
