At WISPCON VII, Washington, DC

I'm attending WISPCON VII in the Washington, DC area on Monday, March 21st and Tuesday, March 22nd. Chairwoman Lynn Kline has done her usual professional job in arranging a great venue for WISPCON. The venue is the Bolger Center, the United States Postal Service's national training center. There are some interesting aspects to being here, like scanning through the television channels late at night and finding "USPS TV" discussing the finer points of USPS marketing campaigns and orientation on the new automated, self-serve USPS Postal Centers.

While he won't be attending WISPCON VII due to his new duties at the FCC, Dr. Robert Pepper attended the informal meet and greet Sunday night. Andrew Kreig, President of WCAI was at the meet and greet also. It was good to see them both and catch up a bit with them.

I'll be doing several presentations:
Monday @ 9:00 AM - WiMAX and the License-exempt Wait
Monday @ 11:15 AM - Mesh Networking's Second Chance - The Return of Mesh
Tuesday @ 10:00 AM - Steve Stroh's FOCUS on the WISP Industry

A real bonus for this trip is that on Wednesday morning I'll be doing Wireless Tech Radio from the studio with Host Jim Sutton - 10:00 Eastern. Wireless Tech Radio will be exhibiting at WISPCON VII and we hope to do some interesting interviews.

I wish I had more time for some visits to some people here in the DC area that I really should check in with, but circumstances didn't permit that luxury; perhaps next week.

  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via license-exempt wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers.

    By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and my own subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. From 2016 - 2020 I worked to resume writing full time.
