I would just like the policy to be the same for wireless and wireline
networks that sell service to individual people.

I am not asking for any special provisions or changes to policy
itself, just change to the definition of a single term.

Today, this clumsy word "residential" is used, and ARIN staff say
residential service implies wires to a house where somebody lives.
