| 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. -- chmod a+x /bin/laden; exec /bin/laden | |

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!  -- chmod a+x /bin/laden; exec /bin/laden | |
