[1st-mile-nm] Agave Broadband Posting

[Marianne Granoff]

While John Brown may have many faults - his lack of technical expertise 
is not one of them.  John was one of the first local ISPs in the state 
and has worked collaboratively with other New Mexico ISPs and 
technologists for over 20 years.  He has always been and continues to be 
extremely knowledgeable about various media, technologies, and equipment 
used for a variety of transmission protocols.

I think Mr. Kirkpatrick's personally belittling remarks concerning John 
were totally uncalled for.  Most of what John said was accurate and very 
much appreciated by those of us who wondered about the technology being 
used by Agave.  We have all heard a lot of hype in press releases that 
hasn't lived up to expectations later on.

There are valid reasons to use this techology in New Mexico, just as 
there are reasons to use other technologies.  Mr Kirkpatrick has 
explained what he is doing in response to John's comments - but he could 
have done it without the personally disparaging comments, in my opinion.
