Harry Mussman (GPO) and Ray Raychaudhuri (WINLAB)

• Review of current licensing and leasing arrangements
  
  • Current GENI WiMAX sites, licenses and base stations
  • ​spreadsheet
    
• Proposed leases by Clearwire, some limited to 1 year, up to $4k to renew, with "indemnification"
  
  • Kevin Wanuga of Drexel reports: When Drexel general counsel was negotiating with Clearwire, Clearwire was willing to drop indemnification clause, and some other difficult language, before agreement was finalized and signed; Drexel also has an experimental license.
    
• Status of discussions with Clearwire
  
  • Harry reports: waiting to organize another call with Paul McCarthy at Clearwire.
    
• Status of discussions with the FCC
  
  • Harry reports: GENI operates using experimental license as FCC intended; waiting for contact to review GENI documents.
• Possible approach, as an alternative to an agreement that leases Clearwire spectrum to GENI sites:
  
  • Operate under an experimental license from the FCC
    
  • Agreement between Rutgers WINLAB and Clearwire, on enhanced cooperation
    
  • Responsive local contact, at each site
    
  • Centralized management DB at Rutgers WINLAB
    
  • Ability to quickly turn off site transmitter, if interference suspected
