Start a WISP now and quick, like someone else said, everyone will "need"
broadband pretty soon even if they don't want it, websites are NOT getting
less complex... I've noticed a lot of new installs now just because "the
kids" want to play XBOX live and stuff like that.

So, would the next five years be a viable time to start a WISP, or is
the future really set for those already established WISPs?
Thanks,

WiMAX was dead, is dead and will remain dead. OK, not factually true but
emotionally true. The cell companies will use WiMax frequencies and
technologies but they will be a premium service and not well suited to
compete with us for point to multi point fixed wireless. It will never live
up
We are still making money on dial-up... with over 600 accounts still
active (at $19.95/month) it still provides a good revenue stream. ;)

Soon everyone will have to have a broadband connection and that means we
should be at least able to double our sizes quickly.
Dial up is almost dead. Couldn't be soon enough.

I would disagree. We are adding 120-140 new subs every month in an area
that has 200,000 population total (25,000 square miles). We have cable,
DSL, 2.5ghz licensed WiMax, two other WISPs (using Canopy), etc. We are
also not the cheapest service in town.

Honestly.
Now is the time to sell! (hence one of the reasons I sold last month.)
Unless your servicing very rural area with almost no population.

What do you see as the future of our industry over the next 5 years?
AT&T is expanding U-Verse (will this be available outside of town?)
Verizon is expanding FiOS (will this be available outside of town?)
Cable will be using DOCSIS 3
3G will gain more steam
WiMAX will have larger and larger shares

So, which vendors do you feel "get it" when it comes to addr
Sure 1 person can support 600 subs.
The problem is 1 tech can't be in two places at once.
It requires a minimum of two techs, and for efficiencies, preferably 3.
And what happens when thereis a global outage, and all 600 subs needed
responded to at once?
These are the factors that startup forget a
The magic number is relevent to your region.
@$35 per sub and 300sub, that wouldn't even cover the roof right fees in my
neighborhood.
The magic number depends on at one point your reoccurring costs can stop
rising, proportional to your revenue.

Until recently, I haven't had to worry about doing anything other than
simply specifiying an 802.11 channel on 1,6, or 11.
Now, however, I see that there are way more channels available (12/13 in
some countries for 802.11b; 53 through 67 / 94 through 175 for 802.11a), and
I also see that there are
Just found out quite recently about 802.21 and what it'll supposedly do for
