This is one reason WISPs need to unify.  Look at the list of companies that are getting this money.  I count 11 telephone companies & Utilities. At this rate the typical WISP will have an uphill battle.  To me the WISP industry is not a long term model.  I could be wrong.  This is why WISPs out there need to do it right the first time and go hard at building a business model that works.
