Re: It's called a "business opportunity"

So we agree that the private marketplace should be able to take care of this problem on its own (without gov't help)

'Course I wonder how much the potential for government intervention keeps private industry out of the marketplace.
It would really suck to spend your own money to build out a network just before some form of government aided broadband stimulus goes through. All of a sudden you could be competing with other business that got their start-up costs covered in one form or another. Ouch.

That would kinda suck, but some entrepreneurs will not wait for the Gov they will get it done. They see a way to make money, give the people there a much needed product, and make something of himself. And you would have no tie to the Gov, as far as start up is concerned.. Plus there is a chance that the one that did not get money from the Gov is the better WISP. The WISP I have treats is costumers almost like family. And if the WISP that did not get the Gov money dies in the end it was just not meant to be. Also competition is a good thing, maybe it will make the WISPs increase speed and or lower prices.
