Re: How are local wisps affected

Muni-ISPs that are run by big companies do not work well, in my opinion...

We are a WISP and a city - basically our local phone company didn't want to get a larger DSLAM for DSL, so we installed our own in their CO... Then we deployed WaveRider 900Mhz. Now we are deploying a Wifi system (not Tropos, but an designed system) We aren't trying to do it for the lowest cost, we are trying to do it for a reasonable cost.

So, we aren't going to cover our entire town in WiFi this year, but we are rolling it that way.

So the muni-ISP model CAN work, it is just a matter of having a good business model.
