I've only known personally of a handfull of them that have got the grants. Most never got started due to the govt regulations that go with it. If you get a 500k grant generally you have to raise the matching 500k in investors. The majority of the first 500k from the govt will be spent on grant compliance and paperwork. So you really get nowhere further. And as an investor, I would have a big fat 0 interest in anything that the government is going to have a major say in you running. Maybe it's just me but I HATE bureaucracy and red tape. I think most WISP owners and small business people do. Its counter productive to getting the real task accomplished if you spend all your time dealing with red tape unless you have a free employee that just likes doing it.
