Dear Editor, Netflix recently made it possible for people to stream movies and television shows to their personal computers. According to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, this is not the end of it. In about a year they are hoping to provide this service through...

Dear Editor, There is a wireless phenomenon taking place. For years the foot soldier in the wireless war against tower siting and site approvals was the site acquisition specialist. These unsung heroes scoured the landscape for suitable locations for wireless carriers to place their...

To the Editor,Regarding your opinion that fixing public safety requires more than band-aids. There are more fundamental questions to answer. Before you spend my money on a federal mandate, tell me what you are going to spend it for. More 20-year-old technology? More proprietary...

Dear Editor, I was compelled to respond to Mike Dano's article, "Worst of the Week: Push-To-Silence-PTT," on RCRNews.com July 27, in which he writes "the thing about walkie-talkie cell phones: THEY ARE UNNECESSARY. And, more importantly, annoying." His conclusions certainly don't match the reality...

To the Editor, Recent results of cell-phone tumor studies are much more consistent than your news item, "Conflicting studies muddy cell-phone health risks," in RCR Wireless News on Jan. 30 would have us believe. As you noted, Lennart Hardell has reported an increased risk...

To the Editor, Ms. Ford, I read your opinion piece in the Oct. 17 issue of RCR Wireless News and think you missed the mark on why consumers should purchase wireless insurance/handset protection.You sited a formula of a consumer buying a phone for $50...

To the Editor: The Oct. 24 RCR Wireless News story regarding the North Carolina Communication Tower Standards erroneously reported that the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) opposed the 100-percent fall protection provisions of that document. I appreciate this opportunity to clarify this issue."100-percent...

To the Editor, One significant differentiator for MVNOs (Aug. 8 "Different looks" editorial) would be to acquire a channel or two of 2.5 GHz spectrum to gain greater flexibility in future product offerings. Just 5.5 megahertz in the top NFL markets might dramatically improve...

To the Editor, I was reading your opinion piece ("The forces of good and evil") in the July 25 edition of RCR Wireless News, and I had a thought. What if wireless companies were to make sites in tunnels and "sensitive" areas like high...

To the Editor, I know it's been a long time since we've conversed, but I read your most recent RCR Opinion piece ("Telecom reform dejà vu" in Aug. 1 issue) regarding Sen. Ensign's legislative proposal. First, the bill totally eliminates anything in Title II...

To the Editor, I just read the article, "Emergency alert tests with cell phones expanded," by Jeffrey Silva, in your July 11 edition and found it very interesting. I do believe that the U.S. needs a system similar to the one used in Kuwait....

To the Editor, I enjoy Tracy Ford's editorial columns, as I do Jeffrey Silva's.Your July 11, 2005, comments about the 2.5 GHz band are right on including, "The potential to offer high-speed broadband Internet access is huge..." I'd add that one doesn't really need...

To the Editor: I just read the article "Connecting dots draw future of wireless" in the May 23 issue. In the article, the section on 802.15.3a states that "Both sides are backed by major vendors ..." This is misleading. The article implies that these...

To the Editor: Suggestion on the engineering shortage: Kill all the parents of potential engineering students so we won't discuss the outsourcing of our jobs. You really can't motivate a college kid to study engineering if mom/dad get laid off and work themselves down...

Dear Editor, I read Tina Eichner's opinion on Rural Connections. I continue to be amazed at the lack of interest and outright opposition to the communications interests of really rural America. Although what we do is completely obsolete, it is still appropriate for many...
