My fear, is the goal is also there to take away the ability for many to become a WISP. Under the directon we are going now, it means harsh competition in our own WISP markets, with 1000s of competitors, while monopolies only have one other. Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed

I agree with you that right now it is a real estate land grab for WISPs. We much all secure the best real estate with leases that protect our use of spectrum. We pay a premium to ensure that every site we are on has the entire unlicensed spectrum allocated to us. It doesn't stop anyone from

Its not hard to be a WISP. Actually its 7000 competitors (ISPs). However it will be hard for any of them to survive, when competition needs to split the spectrum. The hope is that first man in, survives, and everyone bows out nicely, because they'd start out just interfering, and never have a
