What are you talking about? Who said anything about professionals, and why did you bring it up? 44net is for ham radio networks.
A "Cell Site", for the uninformed, is a "Cellular Phone site". What he appears to have been working on, in hindsight, appears to be commonly referred to as an "Access Point", or in ham-radio speak, a "Node".
A genuine misunderstanding arising from the incorrect placement of a technical term, however I do regret that offence was taken(sic). Reminder to use the correct terminology, and to filter for misunderstandings before unleashing the offence.
I don't see how this has any relation to politics. Bart wants to identify ISPs that may not work well with 44net due to blocking tunneling protocols. GRE is just an example, but an ISP could easily block IPIP, too.
It would be really helpful to have some software that would tell you "You're ISP is blocking it" instead of just emailing the 44net list with "Why don't my tunnels route traffic?"
Point taken and conceded.
Best way to ask ISPs what they filter, is to simply ASK them. Why would you connect with some ISP and then spend months trying to debug something, when you could simply ASK them beforehand? Perhaps you like your head down such rabbitholes? I do not - I want to plug it in and it works.
