Re: [802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot+++Urgent motion to approve 802.18 doc+++
Carl,
I would like to hear a response to Stephen's concerns before
I vote.
I will be the first to admit to being a fiber-head, but it
seems like a bad idea to me to be adding restrictions when
they weren't originally suggested as they would likely
add cost to devices and/or installation costs which is a bad
thing for the industry if unwarranted.
cheers,
mike
