Afternoon Everyone,<br>
<br>
During the Spring term, the California Broadband Initiative at the California
Business, Transportation & Housing Agency was lucky to host an intern from <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sacramento</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
Adam Morrison, a graduating senior, spent much of his time researching
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>. He created and
administered a survey and investigated the typical network architectures used
by WISPs in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>. <br>
<br>
The enclosed paper, a working draft of the Broadband Initiative, is the
culmination of his findings. It describes the results of the survey and
provides technical information about WISPs. Adam also created a
Google map of all publicly available locations for California
WISPs. Please see page 12 of the paper for more
information. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We
are excited about this paper and hope that it will add to the already
robust discussion around broadband deployment and adoption in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>.<br>
<br>
Please note the disclaimer located at the top of the paper, which is quoted
below for your reference:<br>
