I second the concerns regarding the stability of a WISP network. However, it can be done correctly in a fashion that works. I'm currently a customer of a WISP and I use voip all the time without quality issues. We're using Canopy equipment and I go Office -> Tower 1 -> Tower 2 -> Tower 3 -> Wireless link to backhaul. Believe it or not it works very well using either ULAW or G729.

I was thinking the exact same thing. My experience (as a user) with
WISPs has been basically lost packets, intermittent service issues,
etc. VoIP is fragile as it is, so there is no way you could deliver
VoIP reliably with these issues...
If you DON'T have lost packet issues (rare for a WISP I think), your
latency is very low, and basically you have "the perfect connection"
for a WISP - you MIGHT be fine.
Don't go buying a bunch of equipment before you test it though...
