| Re: Perhaps I'm biased but... I agree, but then someone can be a dick about it and report unlicensed wireless technology being deployed for profit, and then what do you have.. The FCC knocking on your door demanding that either you pay taxes/license fees for that spectrum, or shut the network down. I don't believe the FCC treats all short-range radio transmitters the same way they would with short-range walkie talkie radios, especially when it is for profit.
I know it's easier to deploy wireless, but I wouldn't mind deploying an infrastructure like "Coop." Would be very cool to have that kind of experience on your resume, let alone being able to play around with technology like that.

| Re: Perhaps I'm biased but... Actually, I mentioned deploying as a non-profit coop for the community; not as a for-profit entity. Not sure where you read I mentioned as a profitable company! 
There are many WISPs utilize unlicensed equipment throughout the U.S. for profit. Check out »www.bbwexchange.com/wisps/index.htm for a comprehensive listing.
But, since this would be a non-profit coop, this would work very well since no interaction with the telco would be required.

| Re: Perhaps I'm biased but... No prob, MosDef. 
The better the coop could keep the telco (ILEC, CLEC, Ma-LEC, etc.) out of the loop (except for the backhaul circuit, of course; unless one finds a provider that's selling high-throughput, dedicated PtP 5.8GHz spectrum links!), the better for the end users.
I think with the influx of housing subdivisions in rural areas, this could be the next big thing for broadband.
Again, perhaps I'm biased!
