| anyone wanna start a WISP for me?
I have neither the time or the money to start a WISP in my area. For anyone interested in an investment opportunity, its a sizeable town in Colorado about 20 minutes outside of Denver. No broadband is available and the phone lines are limited to 26.4k.
Just to elaborate...we are 55,000 feet from our central office and there is some cable bureaucracy that keeps us from having cable access for 5 years. |

job for you. For me personally, if you could add another seven
days to my week I can probably schedule you in for 2004. |

You could do what we're doing in our community (with no broadband in a very high-tech sector). Build yourself a webpage and run a broadband poll. Then use those results to get some ISPs interested in doing business in your area. In 4 weeks we had over 170 (in a community of 1500) sign our poll questions.
Get the demand, show the demand, they will come.
Or... I guess you could find 10 neighbors, buy a T1 and share it via wireless. More expensive and all but people have done it.

| Where's the poll, Dirk? Curious. 
Maverick, you might consider contacting WISPs in Colorado to see if any of them are considering expanding to your area. Check out the directories via the links on the forum's homepage.
HTH!

well I'm moving out in May anyway so I'll leave someone else to deal with all that hassle.
I've explained the situation with a couple WISPs but they don't seem to care. |
