Bret and all that have made comments about "FCC Part 15" that is why we used the term PRIMARILY, this gives us the 'wiggle' room.
Most, if not all, WISPs got their start with Part 15 and I believe that is important to include it in our definition.

Need to yank the " primarily governed by FCC Part 15 regulations" part, There are WISP all across the globe plus it's never a good idea to tie a government entity into an industry unless you want to invite yet more government regulation into that industry. Yeah, yeah, I know what we do is tied closely to the FCC regulations, but why make it lock step with the definition....IMHO. Also why tie the industry to "fixed wireless"? I'm keeping my eye on how to also service the mobile market, not in a cell phone way, but more towards the industry that the iPAD has created...that market is only going to grow dramatically over the coming year. "A WISP is a Community based, Wireless Internet Service Provider that operates using terrestrial-based radio technology to transport and sell fixed and/or other wireless broadband access or related Internet Protocol derived services to end users."
