Comments in Response to the Evslin/pulver Post-Disaster Communications Petition to the FCC:

In a show of overwhelming opposition to what I believed was a worthwhile, non-controversial proposal to improve communications during and after public catastrophes, the ILEC community balked, demonstrating that it supports regulatory relief in the face of disasters only when it is good for only them.

At least the VON Coalition took the high road in supporting our Petition to create a mechanism to ensure that victims of a disaster expeditiously reestablish communications for even those refugees without a wireless or VoIP lifeline.

And, I would like to thank the 40 or so other individuals who posted comments in support as well as the tireless efforts of Tom Evslin.
