Re: [STDS-802-16] Documentation on 802.16 Operator ID for IEEE Registration Authority
Rex,
There is only one public pool. If you pick out one of the 26,400 IDs, you can derive 16M BSIDs from it. However, if you are serious about your service, you would be wise to get you own unique ID or IDs through the registry.

Just read the tutorial here and up popped a couple questions (probably
best tossed into a pool at the meeting).
If, say, the United States Army* deploys a bunch of base stations on the
battlefield, which pool should it draw addresses from? (and are there
enough?).
*substitute 'organized disaster relief agency' here and put it in a
disaster footprint instead of battlefield; same question.
