I'd like to do the same, sell and then do fiber. Anyone wanna buy a small wisp? Haha.
Seriously though, if anyone is interested in buying me out, if seriously consider it. I enjoy this a lot, but I'm running very short on time to keep it up. I'm very happy just keeping it and doing what I can, but I'm at a crossroads -- sell or expand.
