Well, I work for/co-own an ISP based out of Santa Clara and I'm not familiar with a WISP operating in the area. The only WISP that may cover this area that I can think of is Gate Speed. We've toyed with the idea but the biggest problem is the lack of tall buildings and hills combined with the spread of the city. There are a few tallish structures like the dorms at USC and the Central computer building and a few communications and water towers that dot the landscape but nothing that would be worth it as far as covering a huge area.
With all this combined with the fact that running a WISP is a support head ache we chose not to offer wireless service. It was outside the focus of our core business anyway. Dan.
