Charter accused of backdoor attack against fixed wireless
The Wireless Internet Service Providers Association complained to the FCC that Charter Communications is blocking WISP backhaul access.
“In rural areas where there are no or few other options for these services, Charter’s internal policy could have the effect of cutting off internet service to the communities WISPA’s members serve or increasing costs resulting from a reduction in competition for upstream wholesale services,” wrote WISPA.
The dispute comes as cable companies like Charter are getting hammered by competition from telcos.
