A real WISP of a "grass roots" movement is happening all across rural America <<Somewhere in rural America a household is clamoring for a broadband connection. Somewhere else a wireless Internet service provider (WISP) is holding a backyard barbecue, signing up scores of new subscribers who will chunk down up to $400 to activate their high-speed accounts. What are the chances their paths intersect, and the household is liberated from the indignity of dial-up? >> <<Nonetheless, this is not a pursuit for the weak-hearted. Even in the most ideal conditions where WISPs have managed to squeeze out a profit, there is always the fear that an incumbent telco will find ways to justify infrastructure upgrades and begin offering DSL.>> americasnetwork.com
